Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've been to Llandudno and the Great Orme on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour several times over the years. We haven't played the Pitch & Putt before, but have swung by it.

This is a view of part of the course when it was known as Great Orme Family Golf in August 2018

When we first visited the Great Orme in 2009 we didn't realise the Pitch & Putt course was there as we didn't descend the headland on the town side.

It's excellent news to hear the Pitch & Putt course has now re-opened.

The Great Orme headland is also home to two other minigolf courses - one half-way up (Alpine Adventure Golf), and one right at the very top (Rocky Pines Adventure Golf)!

We're looking forward to re-visiting the seaside town and the Great Orme in the future.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Many thanks to the team at MiniLinks for letting us know about the Night Golf event. We're yet to make it back over to Fleetwood since MiniLinks took on the site on the Esplanade. We have previously visited the Pitch & Putt and Crazy Golf courses there, but that was when they were abandoned. MiniLinks Golf has spend a lot of time and effort getting the venue and its courses up and running. We're looking forward to giving them a play on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

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?

Videos of the St Michael's Park Crazy Golf course in Cirencester.

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.

Mini Golf in Manchester

A look at Mini Golf courses in Manchester & Greater Manchester.

Mini Golf (also known as Crazy Golf and Adventure Golf) is an incredibly popular leisure and sporting activity for all ages, and we're seeing an exciting boom in new courses opening up across the UK.

While minigolf was traditionally a seaside summer pastime in the UK, the last decade or so has seen its growth into more urban settings, with many venues now catering to a late night audience. It can be the perfect activity for groups of friends, families, and young and old alike. The game continues to evolve and captivate players all year round.

Minigolfing in Manchester on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've been travelling to play minigolf in Manchester on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since 2009 when I won the Mini Masters and Mini Open at the Trafford Golf Centre. I also won the Chrizy Golf Masters at Piccadilly Place in 2012.

We moved to Stockport in 2016 and have continued to compete in events. Emily won the Paradise Island Adventure Golf Open in 2019, while I won the tournament in 2018. I also won the DinoFalls Masters at the Trafford Golf Centre in 2018.

Do you know of other Mini Golf courses in Manchester?

Please do get in touch and let us know of any other mini golf, crazy golf, adventure golf, pitch & putt, or putting layouts we don't yet know about in the area.

Planning to visit a Mini Golf course - check ahead of time.

Where possible please do check that the course is still there and open before travelling to it. The online presence of courses is improving, and the way businesses market themselves is always evolving, so it's becoming somewhat easier to find the opening and closing times of courses. That said, we've spent the last two decades attempting to play as many courses as possible, and even we've ended up finding courses to be derelict, abandoned or unplayable when we've arrived!

Crazy Golf course opening in Fleetwood

A Crazy Golf course is opening at the MiniLinks in Fleetwood, Lancashire.

MiniLinks has moved and is re-opening the Pitch & Putt miniature golf layout on the seafront in Fleetwood on the Fylde coast.

We've played MiniLinks courses before - including Mini Majors competitions - and are looking forward to checking out the two new MiniLinks courses at Marine Gardens in Fleetwood.

As well as the larger miniature golf layouts, the team at MiniLinks are working on a Crazy Golf course.

Visit the MiniLinks website for more information about the courses and the plans the team there have for events.

We've visited the Fylde coast a fair bit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour over the years and have visited several minigolf courses in Fleetwood. The Crazy Golf course at Marine Gardens in Fleetwood had been abandoned for quite a long time and we'd never seen it open since we've been visiting. We hadn't played the Pitch & Putt there either - it looks like a BIG and long miniature golf course! There used to be a Crazy Golf course at the nearby Marine Hall Gardens in Fleetwood too, we played that way back in 2009.

Crazy Golf at Wythenshawe Park, Manchester

A revisit to the Crazy Golf course at Wythenshawe Park in Manchester.

One of our local minigolf courses can be found at Wythenshawe Park in Manchester. Unfortunately it's been closed for many years and has fallen into disrepair.

We swung by the course for another look last weekend.

We last visited the layout in June 2020.

We actually did play the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour way back in 2009.

Wythenshawe Park is/was also home to a Pitch & Putt course. This too has not been open for some time, but you can still see the course layout - mainly by the bunkers dotted around the field.

Pitch & Putt and Putting at Bantock House Museum & Park in Wolverhampton

There's a Pitch & Putt layout and Putting course at Bantock House Museum & Park in Wolverhampton. 

As big fans of minigolf, and curators of the Crazy Golf Museum, it's always interesting seeing minigolf/museum crossovers.
