Cheddar Crazy Golf

A look back at our visit to Cheddar Crazy Golf in November 2012.


Cheddar Crazy Golf

On our holiday in Somerset back in November 2012 we spent the day in Cheddar where we had a round on the excellent Cheddar Crazy Golf course.

The 18-hole layout was great fun, tricky and unique - just what we like in a minigolf course.

Not many courses have a secret grotto!

The Cheddar Crazy Golf course was the 311th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Indoor Crazy Golf at Brean Leisure Dome

My blog post about the indoor mini-golf course at Funspot in Laconia, New Hampshire reminded me of our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour visit to the Brean Leisure Dome back in November 2012.

We hadn't expected to find the course on our visit to Brean, so it was a pleasant surprise

Mini Golf course at Vivary Park in Taunton

Playing the Mini Golf course in Taunton's Vivary Park.

The Mini Golf course in Vivary Park, Taunton

The 380th course we played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the 18-hole Mini Golf course at Vivary Park in Taunton, Somerset.

The last stop on our tour around the South West of England last summer

It's a brilliant course that rewards well aimed shots. It's similar to the great miniature golf courses you can find in Dorridge, near Solihull, and Stratford-upon-Avon. Like those two courses Vivary Park has also been the host venue for a tournament - the 2006 British Minigolf Championship, won by Wallsend's John 'Thighs' Moore.



The layout was the 62nd visited and 17th played on our tour of the South West of England in the summer of 2015. It became the 640th we visited in the UK, and the 661st overall.






In our minigolf match at Vivary Park on the 12th June 2015 Emily scored 45 and I shot a par round of 36. We'd definitely play there again. Check out the photos below to see the 18-holes.

























For more information, opening times and prices visit the Tone Leisure website. There's also a regular golf course in the park, as well as a Footgolf layout. As you can see from the photos of the course there's a high ropes centre there too.
