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.

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.

Aces Minigolf Gloucester at Gloucester Garden Centre

The Aces Minigolf Gloucester course at Gloucester Garden Centre recently reopened and is now open every day.

British Garden Centres have taken over the running of the garden centre and the established Aces Minigolf Gloucester course can be found outdoors at the rear of the store.

We visited the Aces Minigolf Gloucester course in July 2021 to play a few rounds and compete in the Aces Minigolf Gloucester Invitational Tournament - that event was the first minigolf competition we'd played in since 2019 and it was fun to be back in action. When we played the layout it was a 12-hole course. It's since been upgraded to an 18-hole course.

Check out the Aces Minigolf Gloucester website for more information, opening times and prices for the 18-hole outdoor course.

Aces Minigolf Gloucester was the 967th course visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 550th played since September 2006.

The Hole In Wand Wizard Golf in Chester has reopened

The Hole In Wand Wizard Golf in Chester has reopened after a refurbishment following flood damage to the venue.

Good luck to the team at The Hole In Wand in the refurbished venue following the flood damage caused to the property.

Tredegar Park Mini-Golf has reopened

The Tredegar Park Mini-Golf course in Newport, Wales has reopened.

The course was damaged in an arson attack earlier this year and has managed to re-open following the damage caused.

The course and new hut/kiosk is looking very good. You can find out more on the Tredegar Park Mini Golf Facebook Page.

The Tredegar Park Mini Golf course was the 192nd played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in August 2010. It was one of the courses played as part of the 2010 Cystadleuaeth Minigolff Cymraeg (Welsh Minigolf Tournament).

Hole 9 on the course was an absolute round killer back in 2010! I wonder what it's like now...?

It'll be interesting to see how the course plays all these years later. From the photos on the course's Facebook Page it looks in nice condition - and from what I've heard is still a great test of putting skill.

Tredegar Park Mini Golf re-opening

The Tredegar Park Mini Golf course in Newport, Wales re-opened today.

The course suffered damage at the hands of arsonists earlier this year and has been closed since while work was done to get the course ready.

Check out the Tredegar Park Mini Golf Facebook Page for more information.
