Someone ignored the rules on the sign at Lost City Adventure Golf on Paignton Pier!

Jam is a big fan of Paignton and on an trip to the seaside resort earlier this year he saw the course under construction.

It's another new course for us to check out on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

My brother spotted a 9-hole Crazy Golf course on Paignton Pier back in October 2012.

We visited Paignton in 2015, but there wasn't a course there then.

Mini Golf in Goodrington Sands

On this day in 2015 - we visited our 600th miniature golf course in the UK.

We played the Mini Golf course in Goodrington Sands on the 4th June 2015 during our mammoth road trip around the South West coast of England.

In two weeks we visited 62 minigolf courses.

The Beton-style Concrete 18-hole Goodrington Park Mini Golf course in Goodrington Sands, Paignton was the 600th course visited in the UK and the 621st overall.

 

When our travels began in September 2006 we had a target to visit all 600 courses in the UK. Between then and now hundreds more course have opened, while others have closed, been demolished, abandoned or refurbished.

We've now been to 948 courses, including 39 overseas.

Hopefully we'll get to return to Devon and the South West again in the future as we had a marvellous time in 2015.

The Jurassic Golf course at Santa-Fe Adventure Park in Swanage, Dorset was the 600th course visited overall on our tour on Sunday 31st May 2015.

Junior Brown's amusements in Paignton, Devon

During the summer of 2015 we embarked on a minigolf tour of the South West of England.

We called in at Junior Brown's amusements Paignton, Devon, but unfortunately we were a year or so late to play the UV indoor Crazy Golf course there as it had been removed.

Pitch and Putt at Roundham Head in Goodrington Sands, Devon

A look at the Pitch and Putt course at Roundham Head in Goodrington Sands.

During the summer of 2015 we visited 62 mini golf courses on a tour of the South West of England.

One of those was the Pitch & Putt course at Roundham Head, Goodrington Sands, Paignton, Devon.

It wasn't open at the time of our visit.

Luckily the Mini Golf course at Goodrington Sands was open. That became the 600th course we visited in the UK.

Pirates Bay Adventure Golf in Paignton, Devon

A look back at our visit to the Pirates Bay Adventure Golf course in Paignton, Devon.

During our summer holiday around the South West of England back in 2015 we visited 62 miniature golf courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

One of those courses was Pirates Bay Adventure Golf in Paignton, Devon.

The course was the 619th visited on our travels.

 

  

Squeezing 62 courses into two-weeks was a BIG task and it wasn't possible to stop at, or play all of the Mini, Crazy and Adventure Golf courses, or all the Putting Greens and Pitch & Putts we saw on the trip, or those we'd heard about beforehand.

It's always nice to see a sign pointing towards a course

Visit the Pirates Bay Adventure Golf website for more information, opening times and prices.

The Goodrington Sands Crazy Golf course in Devon

The Crazy Golf course in Goodrington Sands, Devon was the 600th course visited and the 370th we had played up until that point. A large number of courses we visit on our travels tend to be closed, derelict, abandoned or out-of-season.

We visited a total of 62 miniature golf courses during our brilliant two-week holiday around the coast of South West England in the summer of 2015.

At Goodrington Sands

The 600th course visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the Jurassic Golf course at Santa-Fe Adventure Park in Swanage, Dorset on Sunday 31st May 2015.

When our travels began in September 2006 there were around 600 courses in the UK. We've now been to 895 minigolf courses, including 39 overseas, and there are still a fair few for us to visit.

Course visit number 900 is getting very very close!

A visit to our 600th minigolf course in the UK!

Having visited 21 courses overseas the 600th course visited in the UK was the 18-hole Beton-style Concrete Mini Golf course at Goodrington Park in Goodrington Sands, Paignton, Devon on Thursday 4th June 2015.

Visiting our 600th course in the UK

The courses is known as Quaywest Crazy Golf and from the scorecard is operated by Goodtime Leisure. It certainly lived up to its name as we had a good time playing the course and a pleasant and leisurely round of Crazy Golf.

Always pleasing to see a Mini Golf course open

The course became the 370th played since our tour began on the 30th September 2006 and was the seventh played on our tour of the South West of England.

The pleasing 17th hole

A round of Crazy Golf on the layout costs £4 for adults and in our match-up I won with a score of 39 to Emily's 42. It was very pleasing for us both to score aces on the 17th hole.

The Goodrington Sands Mini Golf Champion

While having a wander around Paignton it was great to see the course on a postcard - and you could get 12 for £1! I had to buy some for my collection and to post out.

Overall the 600th course visited on our tour was on Sunday 31st May at the Jurassic Golf course at Santa-Fe Adventure Park in Swanage, Dorset.

Visiting and playing miniature golf courses came about from our love of travelling around the UK. We began going to different seasides when we got our first car in 2006 and after a trip to Southsea, Hampshire we found the MiniatureGolfer website where there were around 600 minigolf courses listed around the UK. Since then we've tried to play as many as we can.
