A rollercoaster minigolf journey!

Looking back at the crazy golf course at Fantasy Island in Ingoldmells, Skegness, Lincolnshire, England.

We've been to some weird and wonderful miniature golf courses in some crazy locations over the last 19 years.

One of the fun and intriguing places we had a game of minigolf was UNDERNEATH a rollercoaster at the Fantasy Island theme park in Ingoldmells, Skegness, Lincolnshire, England back in May 2011!

Sadly this particular crazy golf course is a lost course. Fantasy Island is now home to an 18-hole course called Lava Creek Adventure Golf. It's a course we need to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

At that point the 12-hole outdoor crazy golf course at the Fantasy Island theme park was the 240th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've now been to 1,099 courses overall in the last 19 years, with 1,038 of those locations in the British Isles.

Within the British Isles Emily and I have been to courses in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Jersey and the Isle of Man. We've also travelled to minigolf courses in twelve countries - Australia, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Finland, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, Spain (including Lanzarote and Majorca), Sweden and the USA.

Crazy Golf at the Fantasy Island Theme Park in Ingoldmells, Skegness

A look back at the Crazy Golf course at Fantasy Island in Ingoldmells, Skegness, Lincolnshire.

What a setting for a game of crazy golf!

We played the Crazy Golf at the Fantasy Island Theme Park in Ingoldmells on this day in 2011!

At that point the 12-hole outdoor Crazy Golf course was the 240th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Check out the Fantasy Island website for more information.

National Rollercoaster Day

Happy National Rollercoaster Day.

The 240th course we played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was underneath TWO rollercoasters at Fantasy Island in Ingoldmells, Lincolnshire back in 2011.

Happy National Roller Coaster Day

I heard via The Milky Way adventure park in Devon that today is National Roller Coaster Day. Over the years we've played a few minigolf courses next to, or underneath, roller coasters!

The Crazy Golf course at Fantasy Island in Ingoldmells sits right underneath a giant roller coaster

The two that courses that immediately spring to mind are the Crazy Golf course at Ingoldmell's Fantasy Island and the Pike's Pass Miniature Golf course at Circus Circus Casino in Las Vegas.

Check out the video of me playing the Pike's Pass course right next to the roller coaster.

One of the first unplayable courses we visited on our tour was the Extraordinary Golf course at Alton Towers. Unfortunately it was flooded when we arrived on a rainy day in June 2007 so we were unable to play any of the roller coaster and ride-themed holes.

In 2011 Clacton Pier was home to a minigolf course that sat just along from the thrill rides the pier offers.

We've visited the Aztec and Inca Adventure Golf courses in Southend-on-Sea that are part of Adventure Island, home to some roller coasters and rides.

The Milky Way adventure park itself also has an 18-hole Mini Golf Putting course.

Crazy Golf at Fantasy Island in Ingoldmells, Lincolnshire

After visiting and playing a stack of Crazy Golf, Minigolf and Adventure Golf in Skegness, the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour took us off to Ingoldmells on Saturday 21st May, for a go on the 12-hole Crazy Golf course at the Fantasy Island Theme Park.

The course was the 240th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The course itself sat below the two massive Rollercoasters at Fantasy Island.

In a way the course/location reminded me of the Pike's Pass Miniature Golf course at the Circus Circus Hotel in Las Vegas, not in the course design, but in the fact that it was in close proximity to the Rollercoaster itself!

In our Irregular Mini Golf Tour Match-up Emily defeated me 33-34.

The course was fun to play, reasonably priced and with good equipment. It's worth a visit if you're in the area - even with so much else to see and do at Fantasy Island.

The Fantasy Island Theme Park is also home to the Largest Market in Europe! The site also sits within one of the biggest spreads of Caravan Parks in the UK!

On a Minigolf/Rollercoaster-related note - Back in June 2007 we visited Alton Towers to play the Ride-Themed Extraordinary Golf course - unfortunately it was closed. We've also played next to a rollercoaster at the Pike's Pass Miniature Golf course at Circus Circus Casino in Las Vegas.
