New minigolf courses in the UK

I'm always on the lookout for new minigolf courses.


Richard Gottfried at Pirates Cove Adventure Golf course at Kingswood Golf Centre near Doncaster

I post about new places planned, in development and opening using the 'New course' tag here on the blog.

If you know of a new minigolf, crazy golf, or adventure golf course opening please do get in touch.

How many minigolf courses are there in the UK today?

As of July 2025, our research indicated there were approximately 1,436 minigolf courses around the UK (and the British Isles including Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, and other islands). This figure included public courses, as well as those at pay-to-enter attractions, holiday parks, hotels, and other 'non-standard' locations. Some of these courses were also under construction / in development. Over time some locations have also been partially or fully refurbished, while others have completely swapped out an old course for a new one in the same spot. Since our last update we've also discovered and unearthed several courses we didn't previously know about that have opened in the last year or so!

Darts at Queen's Market in Rhyl, Wales

Playing Darts at Queen's Market in Rhyl, Wales.


Darts at Queen's Market in Rhyl

We called into the new Queen's Market in Rhyl on a recent daytrip to the seaside town. Queen's Market has reopened as a food & drink venue and events space following a full rebuild. While Emily was having lunch there we spotted that there were dartboards and shuffleboard up on the mezzanine. So after a nice wander around the town we popped back for a drink and a few games before we headed home.

Pitch & Putt on the Great Orme in Llandudno

The Pitch & Putt course on the Great Orme in Llandudno, Wales has re-opened.


The Pitch & Putt course on the Great Orme in Llandudno, Wales has re-opened

Great Orme Golf has re-opened the Pitch & Putt course on the Great Orme in Llandudno. The miniature golf course is a 9-hole Pitch & Putt layout with holes ranging from 40 to 81 yards.

Find out more.

Visit the Great Orme Golf website for more information on the Pitch & Putt course.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've been to Llandudno and the Great Orme on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour several times over the years. We haven't played the Pitch & Putt before, but have swung by it.

Pitch & Putt on the Great Orme in Llandudno
This is a view of part of the course when it was known as Great Orme Family Golf in August 2018

When we first visited the Great Orme in 2009 we didn't realise the Pitch & Putt course was there as we didn't descend the headland on the town side.

It's excellent news to hear the Pitch & Putt course has now re-opened.

The Great Orme headland is also home to two other minigolf courses - one half-way up (Alpine Adventure Golf), and one right at the very top (Rocky Pines Adventure Golf)!

We're looking forward to re-visiting the seaside town and the Great Orme in the future.

Mini Golf on the Saundersfoot Harbour Coastal Schooner

There are plans to create a mini golf course on Saundersfoot Harbour’s Coastal Schooner.

The Coastal Schooner is a replica of a traditional vessel which would have operated in the area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The schooner is home to a museum and the new indoor mini golf course would become part of the attraction.

The mini golf course onboard the Saundersfoot Harbour Coastal Schooner would be a new one for us to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We visited Saundersfoot on our travels back in 2009 where we played a Crazy Golf course just off the main promenade, and found a minigolf putting course at The Merlewood Hotel.

Miniature Golf on Constitution Hill in Aberystwyth

There's a crazy golf course at the top of Constitution Hill in Aberystwyth, Wales.


There's a crazy golf course at the top of Constitution Hill in Aberystwyth, Wales

Our friend and minigolf rival David Hartley recently found that there's a minigolf course on Constitution Hill in Aberystwyth, Wales.

The miniature golf is a 9-hole outdoor course and is a Swedish Felt B-Run type of layout.

It looks superb.

Checking out the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway website you can see a nice overhead view of the course, hill and seaside town below. A really great touch is that there's a solid fence built around the minigolf course. This will help with playability, as we've found that wind can be a real challenge when playing minigolf on top of hills and up mountains!

Find out more.

Visit the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway website for more information.

Visiting Constitution Hill in Aberystwyth on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We visited Aberystwyth on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in 2009 and it's long overdue for us to revisit the town and Constitution Hill.

Access to the hilltop - and minigolf course - is via a funicular railway!
