Many thanks to our friend, minigolf rival and fellow minigolf explorer Matt Dodd for sending over these photos from his recent visit to play the Safari Adventure Golf course at Woodlands Family Theme Park in Totnes, South Devon.

This is an interesting hole as this green is it. There isn't any lane leading up to it. It's also a raised 'volcano' type hole so isn't as flat as it first appears in the photo. Quite strange

It's a course we haven't yet been to on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Crazy Golf at the Pleasure Gardens in Great Yarmouth

A look at the Crazy Golf course at Nelson Gardens in Great Yarmouth back in 1980.


I recently bought 50 more postcards for my collection of minigolf cards and among them was this nice old postcard showing the Crazy Golf course at Nelson Gardens in Great Yarmouth.

We visited and played the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back on the 9th June 2007. The course was the 25th we played.

Unfortunately at the start of the 2008 summer season the 11-hole minigolf course was changed from a Safari Golf to a Segway Grand Prix!

The Pleasure Beach is still home to a 12-hole Adventure Golf course.

From Safari Golf to Segway Grand Prix!

On a trip to Great Yarmouth I found that the Jungle Golf at the Pleasure Beach Gardens is no more - it's now a Segway Grand Prix track! The second course with the jeep is still there though.
