The Crazy Golf course at St Michael's Park in Cirencester

A visit to the Crazy Golf course at St Michael's Park in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.

Here's a look at the 12-hole outdoor Crazy Golf course at St Michael's Park in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.

I arrived shortly after a torrential rain shower hit the town on Wednesday 27th August 2025.

The course became the 1,095th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

It's interesting finding unique crazy golf courses like the one at St Michael's Park. It's not a design or layout I've seen before, and the course certainly has some age to it. I wonder how many rounds have been played on it over the years?

Back in July 2020 our friend, minigolf rival and fellow adventure golf traveller Matt Dodd visited the course - it looked a lot more colourful half a decade ago!

Other games in St Michael's Park.

While the crazy golf course was flooded - and I'd arrived in the early evening when it was closed - the park was a nice spot for a wander, with a café, plenty of green space, tennis courts, and something else that caught my eye - a Petanque Piste!

The sign at the park also showed there's a Pitch & Putt course there, however this wasn't fully cut in, although I did find a few tee-off points dotted around in the grass.

House of Holes Crazy Golf in Derby has closed

The indoor House of Holes Crazy Golf venue in Derby has closed down.


Unfortunately we never made it back to Derby on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since the course opened so were unable to add it to our played list.

Crazy Golf in a Boxing Ring at That Funky Golf Place in Birmingham

A look back at our visit to That Funky Golf Place at Becketts Farm in Wythall, Birmingham.


Our first miniature golf course visit of 2020 took us to That Funky Golf Place at Becketts Farm in Wythall, Birmingham. The indoor venue was home to an 18-hole Crazy Golf course. It became the 942nd course we visited overall since September 2006.

The course is now a lost venue.

Fantasia Adventure Golf in Felixstowe is closing

Fantasia Adventure Golf in Felixstowe, Suffolk is going to be demolished.


The Sea Road Adventure Golf course in Felixstowe will be closed and the site turned into residential properties after plans were approved for the work to go ahead.

It's a shame to see minigolf courses close down. Fantasia Adventure Golf has always been fun to play.

It's one of our most visited courses and was originally the 7th we went to on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We last swung by in August last year.


The course opened in 1997/98 and was one of the first adventure golf layouts to open in the UK.

Lost minigolf courses - Abingdon-on-Thames Crazy Golf

A look back at the old Crazy Golf course at the Abbey Meadows in Abingdon-on-Thames.


Crazy Golf at the Abbey Meadows in Abingdon-on-Thames

One of the courses we've visited and played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour travels but has since become a 'lost' course was the 10-hole Crazy Golf layout at the Abbey Meadows in my home town of Abingdon.

The course was the first one I ever played way back in the early 1980's.

The course had been in the park since the 1950's but was removed at the end of the 2016 season as part of renovations to the area.

It's always sad to see an old miniature golf course removed. Especially so when it's not replaced by a new one.

The last hole of the first course I ever played

In August 2007 the course became the 31st played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
