North Marine Crazy Golf in Bridlington

Playing minigolf at the North Marine Putting Greens in Bridlington.

Last summer we finally made it to the seaside town of Bridlington. It'd been on our 'to visit' for quite some time.

Unfortunately we only had a couple of hours there so couldn't fully explore - but we did visit the minigolf courses there. And played two of them.

The first we played was at the North Marine Putting Greens, where you can find two grass Putting courses along with a very interesting Crazy Golf course. It's a mixture of holes - with some of them of the Swedish Felt variety, and others are Fibreglass. There are also some unique obstacles dotted around the course.

The Rules

 

The Crazy Golf course at the North Marine Putting Greens became the 383rd course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 663th visited since September 2006.

It was also the first course we've been to that's got a Frankenstein's Monster on it

The course is 15-holes(!?) and in our contest Emily beat me 36 to 41.

Happily we both managed to get a hole-in-one. Well, Emily got three in a row on the final holes!

The pair of Putting Greens looked nice too. We'll definitely give them a play when we're back in Bridlington.

While in Bridlington we also played the Treasure Island Adventure Golf course and had a look at the Crazy Golf course on the Foreshore Sands.

We're really looking forward to a return visit to Bridlington later this year as there's plenty to see and do there.

Mini Golf in Dawlish

A visit to the Mini Golf course in Dawlish, Devon.

The 615th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the Mini Golf layout at Tucks Plot near the seafront, The Strand and gardens in Dawlish, Devon.

The 18-hole course is a Swedish Felt variety of Minigolf

The 18-hole Swedish Felt B-Run type of Mini Golf was the 16th visited our tour of the South West of England during June 2015.

Unfortunately the course was closed when we were in Dawlish on Wednesday 3rd June

Check out photos of the course below.

For more information on the course, opening times and prices visit the Dawlish Mini Golf web page.

The 'Dawlish' sign has been prominent on the course for many years. In older photos of the course the word was spelled out in plants

There's been a miniature golf layout on the site for many years. I've got a number of old postcards dating from the 1930's and 40's through to the 70's and 80's that show a grass Putting course on the spot. It was pleasing to see a couple of postcards showing the current course on sale in the town and I bought a stack of them from the Tourist Information Centre to post out to friends.

Crazy Golf at Mead Open Farm in Billington, Bedfordshire

Playing Crazy Golf on a visit to Mead Open Farm.

On Saturday 18th October we headed to Mead Open Farm for a morning of fun on the farm. And some Crazy Golf!

The course was the 350th we've played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 584th visited overall.

Playing hole 9 of the Mead Open Farm Crazy Golf course

The 9-hole course at Mead Open Farm was the last of the 'local' courses for us to play in Bedfordshire and it was worth the wait. We first heard about the farm about thirteen years ago when there was a very catchy local radio advert for it. We were singing it to ourselves on the drive there!

Play of the Crazy Golf course is included in the entry price and you can have as many goes as you like! Check out photos of the 'Swedish Felt B-run' style of miniature golf course below.

In our minigolf medal match-up played over two 9-hole rounds I defeated Emily with a score of 42(+6) to 46(+10).

Check out the videos of Emily and me scoring some holes-in-one on the course.

There's lots to see and do at Mead Open Farm

We had a great time at Mead Open Farm, there was plenty to see and do (even for big kids like us).

Lots of sheep, lambs and rams at Mead Open Farm

Crazy Goats!

As the 18 October was the first-day of the farm's special Halloween Freaky Fortnight there were ghoulish fun activities too.

Emily doesn't look too happy before we headed into 'The Dark'. I wasn't happy afterwards!

In my element

On the 18 October last year I played at the Putt in the Park Minigolf course in Wandsworth, London, and in 2012 I played the Woolly Golf course in Covent Garden.
