Putting Greens at Ardencote Golf Club

While on a spa weekend away in the midlands Emily stumbled upon two grass Putting Greens at Ardencote Golf Club.

The 16th hole at Warwick Adventure Golf

The 18-hole Adventure Golf course at St Nicholas Park in Warwick was the 27th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour way back in July 2007 when we were in town for that year's BMGA English Open tournament.

We revisited the layout in April 2011 and this month Emily gave the course another play while on holiday in the midlands on the 17th of July.

Emily safely on the green on a hole with an interesting water hazard (just ask our friend and fellow Minigolf Pro Jam Trubridge!)

A new addition to the course is a four-hole practice area. It looks great

In the match-up on the 18-hole course Emily played against her sister Jo and niece Kate, with Jo winning with a score of 45. Emily hit a 46, with Kate carding a 50

Designed by UrbanCrazy the course is very tricky indeed and well worth a play.

The Golden Putter Mini Golf course in Warwick has a very nice scorecard and pencil. A nice addition to the Crazy Golf Museum

For more information on the course, opening times and prices visit the Golden Putter website.

We've played the permanent Golden Putter Mini Golf courses in Staines and Wroxham, and their portable course when it was set-up on Clacton Pier. Golden Putter Mini Golf also have courses in Birmingham's Cannon Hill Park and Rotherham's Clifton Park. Both are on our 'to visit' list.

Many thanks to Trevor ‘Lord of Smeeth’ Robertson for sending me this snap of a Wacky Waving Arm-Flailing Inflatable Tube-man, or as he calls it a “windy man”, for my ‘collection’!

It was spotted at the Hilton Hotel in Warwick.

Revisit to the 18-Hole Adventure Miniature Golf Course at St Nicholas Park in Warwick

On Wednesday 4th April 2011 we headed to Warwick for a revisit of the brilliant 18-hole Adventure Golf Course at St Nicholas Park.

We originally played the course in July 2007 when we visited to play in the BMGA English Open minigolf tournament. At that point it became the 27th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Below there are photos of the course as it is now, following an updating of the borders/edges since we last visited in 2008.

The 18-hole UrbanCrazy designed Adventure Miniature Golf course is a very testing one, and is very good fun to play.

In our Irregular Mini Golf Tour Match-up at the St Nicholas Park Minigolf Course it was a tie, with Emily and I both scoring 46(+10)!

Total Petrol, Haven Holidays and Crazy Golf

While in Milverton (between Leamington Spa and Warwick) this evening we spotted that the Petrol Station Company TOTAL and Haven Holidays are using Crazy Golf/Minigolf to advertise a promotion they are running!

Adventure Golf at St Nicholas Park in Warwick

Our first minigolfing visit to Warwick was over the 13th, 14th and 15th July 2007 for the BMGA English Open tournament (we have since played there at the Midlands Invitational 2007, Midlands Open 2007 and the BMGA British Doubles Tournament in 2008).

The 18-hole UrbanCrazy designed Adventure Golf course is a very testing one, and is good fun to play. Fellow Minigolf Tourists Paul & Owen Johnson also told me recently that the course has had its borders/edging repaired, which makes it even better to play.

There was also some World Class Conker Action after the Midlands Open event, as (then) World Conker Champion Chris 'Stretch' Jones (left) was challenged by Brad 'The Fist' Shepherd!
