Playing Minigolf in the towns of Tywyn and Towyn in Wales

Visits to the Welsh towns of Tywyn and Towyn on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

A recent BBC news report told how a sat-nav mistake saw a driver take a school bus 80 miles in the wrong direction ending up in Towyn rather than Tywyn!

On our roadtrip of Wales in 2009 we managed to visit 43 Miniature Golf courses and play 28 of them. We also managed to play Crazy Golf in both Tywyn and Towyn.

The 138th course was a 15-hole Crazy Golf course at Tywyn Leisure Park on Marine Parade in Tywyn. The Leisure Park was an excellent set-up and there was also Bowls, Tennis, Skittles and a Putting Course to play. We only had time on our visit to play the Crazy Golf and the Skittles. It’s well worth a visit.

On the road to Rhyl we found what would be the 144th course played. The 9-hole Crazy Golf course at Knightly's Amusements and Fun Park on Sandbank Road was a surprise as we hadn’t planned to visit the town of Towyn. We had spotted a sign advertising Knightly’s and decided to have a look. We were glad we did as it was a bustling street full of seaside fun!

Both Tywyn and Towyn are well worth a visit, whether you find yourself in the wrong place or not I'm sure you'll find plenty to do.

Jobbing to Arm Champs - the original Arm Wrestling Arcade Game

While in Towyn I spotted an original Arm Champs arm wrestling arcade game and couldn't resist having a go, despite my previous failures in Great Yarmouth in 2007 and May 2009.

You can see how I got on this time in the video below.

It can never be resisted. A spot of Bowlingo is always a good challenge!

Minigolf Course Visit No. 144 - Knightly's Crazy Golf, Towyn

Mini Golf blog post about our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour visit to Towyn during our tour of Wales in August 2009.




On our way from Llandudno to Rhyl on the penultimate day of our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour visit to Wales we passed through the town of Towyn. At the traffic lights we saw a sign advertising Knightly's Amusements and Fun Park on Sandbank Road and went to have a look.

To our surprise we found that next to the main car park at the bottom of Sandbank Road was a great little 9-hole Crazy Golf course.

As it was so much fun we had two plays on the course. In the first round Emily and I had scored 17(-1) and 18(-2) respectively, and thought we could better the scores with another game.

In round two Emily scored 17(-1) and I scored a 15(-3), but was left to think 'what might have been?' after notching up six holes-in-one and three threes!











Before we went to Towyn we had stopped off at Colwyn Bay's Eirias Park as we had heard there was a Minigolf or Crazy Golf course there. We found it no longer exists.

Minigolf Course Visit No. 138 - Tywyn Leisure Park

Our next stop on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour of Wales was to Tywyn Leisure Park on Marine Parade in Tywyn.

This great venue had a huge range of games and activities including a 15-hole Crazy Golf course, Bowls, Tennis, Skittles and a Putting Course.

We had time on our schedule to play the Crazy Golf course, and as the skittles looked like great fun we had to have a mini competition on those too. Unfortunately we didn't have time to play on the 18-hole Putting course, a shame, but I hope to return and play there in the future.
