Holbeck Putting Green in Scarborough

A visit to the Holbeck Putting Green in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

Before we left Scarborough on Sunday 9th June we fully explored the South Bay and South Cliff Gardens, home of the Holbeck Putting Green.

The views from the course are superb

The course was the 901st visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 521st we've played since September 2006.

The next stage of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the journey to 1,000 courses started at the Holbeck Putting Green

It was brilliant chatting to Gerry, the man running the course, as he had an in-depth knowledge of the Putting Green's history, and also that of other courses in Scarborough.

The Holbeck Putting Green was opened in 1925 and was the first Putting Green to be established in the town.

While nowhere near the course record, my score of 44 was the third best of the season so far. The best round in 2019 was a 40, with the second best a 43.

If you're in Scarborough the Holbeck Putting Green is well worth a play.

Looking through my postcard collection I found two cards showing the Putting Green. Both cards are undated.

If I'd had more time I would've had a few more rounds on the challenging links Putting course

Putting Course at Barrow Park

A visit to the Putting Course at Barrow Park in Barrow-in-Furness.

On a recent visit to Barrow-in-Furness we found a Putting Course at Barrow Park. Sadly it was closed.

The course looked like it was ready for play, or at least very nearly ready for the summer season.

Some of the holes looked really good, with plenty of lumps, bumps, twists and turns to tackle.

The course became the 893rd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Barrow Park is also home to a very nice looking model railway.

Terry's Traditional Crazy Golf course and Putting Green in Cleethorpes

Playing Terry's Traditional Crazy Golf and Putting in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire.

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

Luckily the courses were open during our stay so we were able to have a round.

Terry's Traditional Crazy Golf course was the 483rd played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. The Putting Green was the 484th played.

We'd originally visited the two courses in May 2011.

The Putting Green

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
