Caddy Shack Mini Golf at Shanklin Seafront

A look at the new Caddy Shack Mini Golf course at Shanklin Seafront, Isle of Wight.

A massive thank you to our friend Philip Walsh for sending over some photos from his round at the new Caddy Shack Mini Golf course during his recent stay on the Isle of Wight.

The Caddy Shack indoor Mini Golf course can be found at Shanklin Seafront.

Visit the Shanklin Seafront website for more information.

Shanklin Seafront is also home to two other outdoor minigolf courses - one is a Pirate-themed adventure golf layout and the other is a Jurassic course.

It'll be brilliant to make a return visit to the Isle of Wight on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We've had some day trips there in the past and played a lot of courses, but need at least a long weekend there to play them all.

Philip has also been to the brand new Shanklin Crazy Golf course, the Putting Course at Luccombe Hall Hotel, Rylstone Crazy Golf and Tea Gardens in Shanklin and the Mini Golf course and Billiard Golf tables in Puerto Colón, Tenerife this year.

Finding out about a hotel Putting Course in Shanklin, Isle of Wight.

A big thank you to our friend Philip Walsh for sending over some snaps of a grass Putting Course he found during his recent stay on the Isle of Wight.

It looks like a nice little course for a putt around.

Visit the Luccombe Hall Hotel website for more information.

We're looking forward to a return visit to the Isle of Wight on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We've had a couple of day trips there in the past and played quite a few courses, but need at least a long weekend to play them all.

Philip has also been to the brand new Shanklin Crazy Golf course, Rylstone Crazy Golf and Tea Gardens in Shanklin and the Mini Golf course and Billiard Golf tables in Puerto Colón, Tenerife this year.

New Crazy Golf course in Shanklin, Isle of Wight

Finding out about a new minigolf course in Shanklin Village on the Isle of Wight.

Many thanks to our friend Philip Walsh for letting me know about a new crazy golf course he found while on a recent trip to the Isle of Wight.

The course can be found at the ice cream/donut/slush cafe opposite the parking in the old village. The finishing touches were being put to the course when he was there so he didn't have the chance to play a round. He did however let me know that the ice cream they served was very good.

The course is a 9-hole layout and costs £3 a round.

We're looking forward to a return visit to the Isle of Wight on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in the future. A number of new miniature golf courses have opened since our last trip to the island.

Philip has also been to the Rylstone Crazy Golf and Tea Gardens in Shanklin and the Mini Golf course and Billiard Golf tables in Puerto Colón, Tenerife this year.

Rylstone Crazy Golf and Tea Gardens in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight

A look at the Rylstone Crazy Golf and Tea Gardens in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight.

Many thanks to our friend Philip Walsh for sending over some snaps of the Rylstone Crazy Golf course at the Tea Gardens in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight.

We first visited the course in 2008 and returned in 2016.

There have been some modifications and additions to the course since our last visit.

Philip told me this was the round killer hole - it certainly looks like it could be tough to play!

We're looking forward to heading back to the Isle of Wight in the future. We've only been there on day trips before, next time we'll have to do a longer trip and take in more of the isle.

Mini Golf and Billiard Golf in Puerto Colón, Tenerife

A look at the Mini Golf course and Billiard Golf tables in Puerto Colón, Tenerife.

Many thanks to my friend Philip Walsh for sending over some snaps of the Mini Golf course and Billiard Golf tables at the shopping centre in Puerto Colón, Tenerife.

The Mini Golf course is of the Swedish Felt variety.

The Billiard Golf tables look great fun to play.

It's always brilliant to see different courses from around the world.

We've seen a few different types of snooker/pool/billiard golf courses and Pit-Pat tables over the years, but the one in Puerto Colón is a new variant of table top miniature golf billiards.

Many thanks to our friend Philip Walsh for sending over these great snaps of the derelict Crazy Golf course at Starr Gate in Blackpool. Philip photographed the course while aboard a tram during a recent tram heritage weekend.

Emily and I visited the remnants of the minigolf course - formerly an Arnold Palmer Putting Course - last October. Luckily we did get to play it once, back in April 2008.

A sad sight indeed
