Miniature Golf in Denton Gardens, Worthing through the years

Denton Gardens in Worthing, West Sussex has been home to miniature golf for 100 years.


Minigolf was first played in Denton Gardens on Tuesday 1st July 1924.

The gardens next to the seafront are now home to the 18-hole Splash Point Mini Golf course.

The 18-hole Splash Point Mini Golf course was the 181st played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in 2010 and we've returned several times since that first visit. It's one of my favourite courses to play as it's areal test of putting skill and a unique set of holes and obstacles to tackle.

The A-Team van in Worthing

It was absolutely amazing to see The A-Team van while out on a stroll on Worthing seafront at the weekend.

I spotted it cruising down the seafront (see the last pic) and actually managed to track it down better than Colonel Decker ever could.

Minigolf was first played in Denton Gardens on Tuesday 1st July 1924. Since 2010 the area has been home to the excellent Splash Point Mini Golf course.


The first minigolf courses in Denton Gardens were of the grass Putting variety, when both sides of the lawn in the gardens were given over to miniature golf Putting courses.

I've got a few other postcards showing the Putting Green in Denton Gardens, but this is the first one I've got showing this particular angle of the course.
