Guess the Putting course location...

Where in the world was this grass Putting miniature golf course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour?

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 9-hole Crazy Golf course at the Victorian Pavilion on the seafront in Hunstanton became the 1,116th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since 2006.

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.

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.

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

Old minigolf postcards from Seaton Carew

A look at a pair of old miniature golf postcards from Seaton Carew in County Durham.

Both show the same minigolf course, albeit from slightly different angles. They were both posted in 1966 - one from Consett to Hampshire in August, the other from Hartlepool to Rochester in September.

The course in these postcards are long gone. However, you can still play minigolf in Seaton Carew at Lofty's Crazy Golf.

An old miniature golf postcard from Droitwich

A look at an old miniature golf postcard from our collection.

The Raven Hotel on St Andrew's Street in Droitwich has stood empty for several years. Looking at satellite views of the location it does still look to have a garden area.

A 'new' old postcard of the Putting Green at Denton Gardens in Worthing

A look at a miniature golf postcard showing the Putting Green at Denton Gardens in Worthing.

This old postcard showing the Putting Green at Denton Gardens in Worthing, West Sussex was posted from Worthing to Tunbridge Wells on the 20th September 1950.

PUTTING GREEN, DENTON GARDENS, WORTHING. H.422. Valentine's Post Card. Posted from Worthing to Tunbridge Wells on the 20 Sep 1950

We've got several other old postcards showing minigolf played at Denton Gardens, you can see them in this blog post.

Minigolf was first played in Denton Gardens on Tuesday 1st July 1924.

And it's still played there today! The gardens next to the seafront are now home to the 18-hole Splash Point Mini Golf course.

Check out the Splash Point Mini Golf website for more information.

Prestwick Putting

A look at the Putting Green at Prestwick Beach.

Thanks to our friend and minigolf rival John Moore for sending over this snap of the Prestwick Putting course from his recent trip to Scotland.

He was there a little early in the day so didn't get a chance for a round.

We visited the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour on a very rainy day back in 2014.

Putting Green at Ventnor Park

Taking a look at the Putting Green at Ventnor Park on the Isle of Wight.

Catching up on a Crazy World of Minigolf Tour course visit from the summer of 2021!

Time flies and while we posted about Emily's trip to the Isle of Wight back in June 2021 we didn't get round to covering the individual course visits fully at the time.

This is the Putting Green at Ventnor Park.

Check out the Ventnor Park Putting Green website for further information.

Signs at the Ventnor Park Putting Green

The Putting Green at Ventnor Park was the 964th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've been to the Isle of Wight several times over the years and have been to most, but not all of the courses there. Some of the courses have changed over the years, with at least two of the courses undergoing refurbishments, and one changing twice since we first played it!

It's certainly interesting seeing the changes and developments on the island and we're looking forward to another trip there in the future.

We've now travelled to a total of 1,075 courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. Our adventures began on the mainland side of the Solent at Treasure Island Adventure Golf in Southsea back in September 2006.

The Himalayas Miniature Golf course at St Andrews

A look at The Himalayas putting course in St Andrews, Scotland - the world's first Miniature Golf course.

Playing The Himalayas course at the St Andrews Ladies' Putting Club

The layout was created in 1867 and is the world's first Miniature Golf course.

When we visited there were two courses to play, an 18-hole course and a 9-hole layout. They were an absolute pleasure to play and one of my very best putting experiences.

The two courses at The Himalayas became the 292nd and 293rd miniature golf courses played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Visit the St Andrews Ladies' Putting Club website for more information.

Putting Green at Club de Golf Los Leones in Santiago, Chile

Finding a Putting Green with a view of the Andes.

Emily visited the first of two miniature golf courses in South America on her recent trip to Santiago, Chile.

The first was the Putting Green at Club de Golf Los Leones in Santiago.

Visit the Club de Golf Los Leones website for more information.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

Since 2006 Emily and I have visited 1,064 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, Chile, Finland, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, Spain (Lanzarote and Majorca), Sweden and the USA.

When added to the courses Christopher and his family have visited around the British Isles and Türkiye, Spain (Majorca), Italy, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Indonesia, Croatia and the USA, the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour stands at a combined 1,111 courses visited!

Minigolf at Burrowhead Holiday Village

I recently found out there is a Pitch & Putt course, Crazy Golf, and a Putting Green at the Burrowhead Holiday Village in Cutcloy, Scotland.

It's always interesting finding out about new places to play minigolf. Hopefully we'll get to visit these layouts on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in the future.

Check out the Burrowhead Holiday Village website for more information. 

Putting Green at Station Park in Moffat

A look at the Putting Green course at Station Park in Moffat, Dumfriesshire.

Our friend and minigolf rival John Moore sent us this photo of the Putting Green at Station Park in Moffat. It's not a course we had on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour radar before now!
