Landmark Adventure Golf in New Brighton

A look back at our visit to the Landmark Adventure Golf course in New Brighton on National Miniature Golf Day 2017.


After playing the Championship Adventure Golf layout we stepped onto the second of the two 18-hole courses on Kings Parade in New Brighton to tackle the Local Landmarks Adventure Golf course.

The Landmark Adventure Golf course was the 731st visited and 431st played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

In our match on the brilliant Landmark Adventure Golf course I won with a score of 50 to Emily's 53.

A look back at playing the Championship Mini Golf course in New Brighton on National Miniature Golf Day 2017.


The 730th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the 18-hole Championship Adventure Golf on King's Parade in New Brighton on the Wirral peninsula.

The Championship Adventure Golf course was the 730th visited and 430th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back on National Miniature Golf Day in 2017. We had a great time on the well maintained course.

Prestatyn Crazy Golf

A replay of the Prestatyn Crazy Golf course.


I played the excellent Prestatyn Crazy Golf in Prestatyn, North Wales on 'National Miniature Golf Day' back in May.

I managed to capture this shot of the superb course and its classic crazy golf colours during a gap in players on the course during a busy and very warm summer afternoon

The course was originally the 147th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in 2009.

As one of our local seaside towns we used to head to Prestatyn a few times a year. We went there in December 2021 during the pandemic and before that the last visit was in June 2019.

The Prestatyn Crazy Golf course is one of our favourite locations and is an excellent Arnold Palmer Putting Course.

I very much enjoyed my two rounds on the 18-hole layout and scored a 40 (+4) on each round. Not too bad considering how rusty my putting is!

It's a course that is well worth a visit and I'm very much looking forward to another game there in the future.

Each year there are two 'minigolf days', the second of which is Miniature Golf Day. It is always on the 21st September.

The other is National Miniature Golf Day, marked on the second Saturday in May. Planning ahead to next year that will be Saturday 10th May 2025.

Crazy Golf at Stoke Park in Guildford

A look back at our visit to the Crazy Golf course at Stoke Park in Guildford, Surrey on National Miniature Golf Day in 2016.


Back in 2008 the Crazy Golf course in Guildford's Stoke Park became the 75th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. Our visit this time was as part of the Surrey Invitational Minigolf Tournament that took place on National Miniature Golf Day 2016.


The Swedish Felt B-Run course used to be a 12-hole layout. In 2016 it had grown to be a full 18-holes, and had a very different playing surface - with astroturf 'grass' and raised 'bunkers'.


Check out the photos of the new 18-hole Crazy Golf course layout below.















The course was built by City Golf Europe

It's a very tricky layout

This hole was nigh on impossible to play!

This one was trickier now it has thicker 'grass'

The longest hole on the course

A loop-di-loop with felt on the outside of the obstacle!

Another very difficult hole to play
