Putting Green and Crazy Golf course in Hunstanton

A look at the Putting Green and Crazy Golf course in Hunstanton, Norfolk.


We spent a couple of hours in the seaside town of Hunstanton on our recent trip to Norwich and Norfolk to visit family and friends. While there we swung by North Promenade for a look at the miniature golf courses.

The last time we visited Hunstanton was in 2011. Back then there was a different crazy golf course on the other side of the path. This new crazy golf course also takes up the lower part of what was a two-tier grass putting green.

Terry's Traditional Crazy Golf in Cleethorpes

Looking back at Terry's Traditional Crazy Golf course in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire.


Terry's Traditional Crazy Golf course in Cleethorpes

On our holiday in Cleethorpes in May 2018 we revisited a number of miniature golf courses, two of which were Terry's Traditional Crazy Golf course and the Putting Green next to it.

When we arrived the courses were closed, as they were when we first visited in May 2011. Luckily the courses were open the next day so we were able to have a round.

It was nice to finally play the traditional seaside Crazy Golf course. It'd had a lick of paint since our last visit

Sadly Terry's Traditional Crazy Golf course has been demolished. We're glad we got to play the colourful and unique crazy golf layout on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Mini Golf in Manchester

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


A look at adventure golf, crazy golf, crazy pool, mini golf, pitch & putt, and putting 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.

Where to play Mini Golf  in and around Manchester.

If you're looking for mini golf, crazy golf and adventure golf courses to play in Manchester and Greater Manchester there are a variety of courses to visit, ranging from traditional crazy golf to indoor minigolf to new adventure golf layouts.

The city centre itself has seen an increase in courses over the last few years.

Here's a list of the Mini Golf courses we know of in Manchester city centre:


Here's a list of the Mini Golf courses we know about in Greater Manchester:


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.

It's brilliant we've got so many places to play mini golf in and around Manchester.

Former Mini Golf courses in Manchester.

  • Alexandra Park in Edgeley, Stockport - an outdoor crazy golf course.
  • Championship Miniature Golf at the Trafford Golf Centre - an outdoor miniature golf course.
  • Chrizy Golf at Piccadilly Place - pop-up Christmas-themed crazy golf course.
  • Junkyard Golf at the Great Northern Warehouse and at Piccadilly Place - indoor crazy golf courses.
  • Kearsley Golf Range - Pitch & Putt and Putting Greens.
  • Mini Golf at Roxy Ball Room Deansgate - an indoor course that was 18-holes, then 12-holes before it was removed to make way for a new Crazy Pool course.
  • Tea Party Mini Golf at Spinningfields, Manchester - a pop-up mini golf course.
  • UV Crazy Golf at One Adventure in Droylsden - an indoor crazy golf course.
  • Walkden Town Centre - pop-up crazy golf course.

Derelict and abandoned Mini Golf courses in Manchester.


Mini Golf courses in development in Greater Manchester.


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!

The National Putting Tour American Dream’s Super Roll of Putting competition will be shown on ESPN8: The Ocho at 10pm on Thursday 31st July.

It's brilliant to see miniature golf feature in the line-up, and there are some other amazing sports, games and pursuits in the schedule too - including Dodgeball.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The Obstacle Golf course at Castle Park in Penrith became the 1,084th course visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006, and the 1,023rd in the British Isles.

We're looking forward to returning to the Lake District in the future and spending more time in Penrith as it's one of the towns there neither of us had been to until Emily visited. We last went there together in the summer of 2023.
