Pitch & Putt and Crazy Golf at Shibden Park in Halifax

A look at the Pitch & Putt and Crazy Golf courses at Shibden Park in Halifax.

We visited Halifax in West Yorkshire for the first time on Saturday. We've been meaning to go there since we moved north in 2016 and finally found some time to a look round. We really liked the town and are looking forward to a return visit.

While there we played at the new Galactic Golf indoor adventure golf. Once we'd wandered around the town centre we drove out via Shibden Park where we knew there was a four-hole(!) Crazy Golf course.

Up these steps is the strangest Crazy Golf course we've ever seen

Our friend and minigolf rival Brad Shepherd had played the course in 2015 and we were intrigued by the layout.

It certainly looks a lot different now to the summer of 2015!

Unplayable

Shibden Park is a nice spot and we enjoyed our walk round it. We also found it's home to a miniature railway.

As the park is quite large and we didn't fancy a wild goose chase looking for the Crazy Golf course I called Brad and he told me the course was next to a Pitch & Putt course. Another bonus.

Unfortunately as it's currently out of season neither the Pitch & Putt or Crazy Golf was playable on this occasion.

But the Crazy Golf was certainly a sight to behold!

Blimey!

It looked like a minigolf course graveyard

The Pitch and Putt course at Shibden Park was the 936th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. The Crazy Golf course the 937th.

Pitch and Putt at Ravenmeadow Golf Centre in Worcester

We visited the Ravenmeadow Golf Centre in Worcester last May to play the Jungle Safari Adventure Golf course there.

There's also a nice looking Pitch and Putt course at the venue.

We didn't have time for a game on the Pitch and Putt as well as we were en route to Southampton.

Pitch and Putt at Walton Hall and Gardens in Warrington

We've visited Walton Hall and Gardens in Warrington a couple of times on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The first time was to play the old Crazy Golf course and Putting Green back in 2009.

The second time was in 2016 when we played the new Adventure Golf course.

Next time we'll have to have a go on the Pitch and Putt course there.

Pitch & Putt at Appley Park in Ryde, Isle of Wight

Looking for, but not finding, the Pitch & Putt course at Appley Park in Ryde.

Back in October 2016 we revisited the Isle of Wight on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Our first stop was to the seaside town of Ryde where we had a look at the out of season Pirate Adventure Golf course at Peter Pan's Funfair and Amusements on the Esplanade.

We then headed towards Puckpool Park to play the Crazy Golf course there.

En route we passed through Appley Park and saw a sign for a Pitch & Putt course. However we couldn't find it.

Pitch & Putt was supposedly that way

No Golf allowed

Pitch & Putt Golf at the Lea Marston Hotel in Sutton Coldfield

A look at the Pitch & Putt course at the Lea Marston Hotel.

Back in September 2017 we stayed at the Lea Marston Hotel in Sutton Coldfield. The hotel had an on-site Pitch & Putt course.

The walkway between the hotel and golf course was netted to avoid being hit by errant shots from the driving range

Crazy Golf and Pitch & Putt at Trenance Gardens in Newquay

A look at the Crazy Golf and Pitch & Putt course at Trenance Gardens in Newquay.

During the summer of 2015 we visited 62 miniature golf courses on a two week road trip of the South West of England.

Two of those were at Trenance Gardens in Newquay, Cornwall.

Trenance Gardens is also home to a miniature railway.

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.

Bunkered

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

Pitch & Putt at Crooklets Beach in Bude, Cornwall

I really like seeing golf signs painted on roofs

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

One of those was the Pitch & Putt course at Crooklets Beach in Bude, Cornwall.

A little Pitch and Putt sign

We didn't have time to play it, but did play the Crazy Golf course at Bude Haven Recreation Ground.

Pitch & Putt miniature golf course in Southport

A look at the Pitch & Putt miniature golf course in Southport.

We had a look at the Pitch & Putt golf course while in Southport on Miniature Golf Day.

It looked quite different to when we first visited it in October 2016.

I wonder whether the course opened this season, or if it closed earlier in the year than previously as it looked quite overgrown

Only the 'F' remains on the GOLF sign atop the old Public Conveniences next to the course. All the letters were there the last time we visited
