During our recent trip to Scarborough, North Yorkshire we stayed at a hotel right next to the excellent Peasholm Park, a stone's throw from the Pitch & Putt course, and a short walk from the Putting Green.

Back in June 2008 the course became the 55th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.


We've now visited 905 courses since September 2006! Unfortunately time and the weather were not on our side so we didn't get a chance to play the course this time.

It was brilliant chatting to Gerry, the man running the course, as he had an in-depth knowledge of the Putting Green's history, and also that of other courses in Scarborough.

The Holbeck Putting Green was opened in 1925 and was the first Putting Green to be established in the town.

While nowhere near the course record, my score of 44 was the third best of the season so far. The best round in 2019 was a 40, with the second best a 43.
