The Crazy Golf course at St Michael's Park in Cirencester

A visit to the Crazy Golf course at St Michael's Park in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.

Here's a look at the 12-hole outdoor Crazy Golf course at St Michael's Park in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.

I arrived shortly after a torrential rain shower hit the town on Wednesday 27th August 2025.

The course became the 1,095th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

Closing in on our 1,100th minigolf course visit!

It's interesting finding unique crazy golf courses like the one at St Michael's Park. It's not a design or layout I've seen before, and the course certainly has some age to it. I wonder how many rounds have been played on it over the years?

You can watch some video Shorts of the course on my YouTube Channel too.

Crazy Golf at St Michael's Park in Cirencester in 2020.

Back in July 2020 our friend, minigolf rival and fellow adventure golf traveller Matt Dodd visited the course - it looked a lot more colourful half a decade ago!

Other games in St Michael's Park.

While the crazy golf course was flooded - and I'd arrived in the early evening when it was closed - the park was a nice spot for a wander, with a café, plenty of green space, tennis courts, and something else that caught my eye - a Petanque Piste!

The sign at the park also showed there's a Pitch & Putt course there, however this wasn't fully cut in, although I did find a few tee-off points dotted around in the grass.

Crazy Boules in Elephant & Castle

There's a Crazy Boules venue opening in Elephant & Castle, London in April.

Crazy Boules is a cross between Petanque and Crazy Golf!

The Crazy Boules venue in Elephant & Castle follows the brand's pop-up in Shoreditch where they had a six hole (or should that be piste?) course (or should that be terrain?).

The Crazy Boules course in Elephant & Castle will be open from Friday 4th April.

Check out the Crazy Boules website for more information.

We're big fans of Crazy Golf and Petanque so Crazy Boules sounds like a lot of fun.

Crazy Boules in Shoreditch

There's a Crazy Boules pop up in Shoreditch, London this festive season.

Crazy Boules is a cross between Petanque and Crazy Golf!

The Crazy Boules pop up in Shoreditch is a six hole (or should that be piste?) course (or should that be terrain?).

The Crazy Boules pop-up will be open from Thursday 5th December and runs for eight weeks to Sunday 26th January 2025.

Check out the Crazy Boules website for more information.

Crazy Boules sounds like a lot of fun. We're big fans of Crazy Golf and Petanque, so it could be the perfect combination!

New pétanque piste in Felixstowe

A pétanque piste is one of the features of the new activity park on Sea Road in Felixstowe, Suffolk.

It was nice to see the new pétanque piste on Felixstowe sea front. We'll have to remember to take our boules with us next time we visit.

Minigolf at Leopoldpark in Blankenberge, Belgium

A visit to Leopoldpark in Blankenberge, Belgium.

Emily visited three courses and a new country on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when she went to Blankenberge, Belgium back in 2016

What a sight for minigolf fans

The seaside resort is home to a Minigolf course, a Crazy Golf and a Snookergolf layout. The three 18-hole courses at Leopoldpark became the 710th, 711th and 712th visited on the tour.

Since 2006 Emily and I have visited 1,045 miniature golf courses around the UK and overseas on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. As well as playing minigolf in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Jersey and the Isle of Man we’ve travelled to minigolf courses in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, Spain (Lanzarote and Majorca), Sweden and the USA.

We've got some great old postcards from Blankenberge that show the miniature golf courses which used to be at Leopoldpark. It's great to know there are still courses on the same spot today.

The whole place looks marvelously bright and colourful.
