The Lost Valley Adventure Golf at Amazonia

A look at The Lost Valley Adventure Golf at Amazonia in the Market Place shopping centre in Bolton.

It was the last course we visited before the social distancing lockdown commenced.

Back in December 2016 it became the 420th course played and 720th visited overall on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've now been to 948 courses since September 2006.

I wonder where number 949 will be?

Anyone for snooker?

The last new minigolf course played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the pop-up rave-inspired art installation Crazy Golf course at Coal Drops Yard in King's Cross, London.

It was the 948th course visited on our travels since September 2006.

Anyone for snooker?

One of the 9-holes was snooker-themed.

A visit to The Lost Valley Adventure Golf course in Bolton's Market Place shopping centre.

We swung by The Lost Valley Adventure Golf course at Amazonia in Bolton's Market Place shopping centre on Saturday afternoon.

I played the 18-hole indoor course back in December 2016. Time flies!

The course was built by the team at HM Adventure Golf.

It's a nice layout and I really liked the attention to detail with the themed pathway on the course.

Visit the Amazonia website for more information, opening times and prices.

Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf in Bristol

A look at Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf in Bristol.

Many thanks to our friend and minigolf rival Cat Patterson for sending over some photos of Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf in Bristol.

Cat played the Jungle course, one of two 18-hole layouts at the indoor venue in the city's Cabot Circus shopping centre.

We first visited Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf in Bristol back in February 2010. Back then each of the 36-holes had green felt. The course looks a lot more colourful with the new mix of green, blue and red carpets.

Check out the Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf website for more information about the Bristol courses and other venues in Brighton and Glasgow.

Jungle Rumble was one of the first brands to bring indoor minigolf to shopping centres in the UK. When our travels began in 2006 there were only two indoor courses - in Great Yarmouth and Felixstowe. There are now around 100 indoor courses, with more new places to play opening up in towns and cities every week.

Hole 1 by night

Artists Baker & Borowski created the 9-hole themed Crazy Golf layout inspired by the rave culture in the King's Cross area back in the 1980's and 90's.

There are a lot of signs for the course directing people all the way from King's Cross station

Players can tee-off on the course midday to 8pm Monday to Saturday, with games costing £5 (under 12s play for free). The layout opened on the 19th February and will close on the 29th March.
