The last time either of us were in Rhyl was when I had a day out there in September 2019! Crazy to think as it's one of our most local seaside resorts.

Many thanks to my friend, minigolf rival and fellow crazy golf enthusiast Martyn Williams of the Welsh Minigolf Club for letting me know about a brand new Mini Golf course that recently opened at Parc Bryn Bach in Tredegar.

It looks like an ace layout and Martyn tells me it plays very nicely indeed.

Mini Golf courses in Rhyl, Wales

A look at the miniature golf courses in Rhyl.


We've been visiting the seaside town of Rhyl in Wales since September 2009 and have been to a number of minigolf courses there.


There are a mix of miniature golf options in Rhyl, with everything from Crazy Golf to Grass Putting to Adventure Golf. There's also a new indoor minigolf course in an amusement arcade.

We revisited the course in September 2014, September 2017 and January 2018.

On our holiday in North Wales we revisited the Welsh Dragon Adventure Golf course at Rhyl Family Fun Fair. As it was out of season the course was closed. It looked in good condition though.

I wonder what's under the green sheet?

On both previous visits I hadn't noticed what the castle was made out of - it took Emily to point it out! Me and my wide-eyed wonder eh!

What a great use of a shipping container!

Welsh Dragon Adventure Golf in Rhyl

A revisit to the Welsh Dragon Adventure Golf course in Rhyl, Wales.

Back in August 2009 we visited and played the 12-hole Welsh Dragon Adventure Golf course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour visit to Wales.

During our holiday in nearby Prestatyn we made a revisit to the course, although as it was an 'out of season' Monday the course was closed. When we'd driven passed the course on the Saturday it had been open and looked nice and busy.
