A revisit to the miniature golf courses in Littlehampton.
While in West Sussex for the
Splash Point Open minigolf tournament at the course in Worthing we stayed over in East Preston so that we could revisit nearby Littlehampton.

The course has some nice views of the sea too |
I first visited the seaside resort in 2012 when I found all of the courses to be closed, while on a revisit in 2014 we managed to play
Pit-Pat at Western Putting on Banjo Road and the
Sharksville Adventure Golf course at Harbour Park.

Pit-Pat Crazy Snooker - what a game! |
On Saturday 25th July we managed to play the Adventure Golf course at Norfolk Gardens. The holes there are MASSIVE!

In our match-up we drew with scores of 29.

The course became the 381st played on our
Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and we've now visited 661 in total. Check out the photos below to see some of the interesting holes.

A little bit of clever editing |
Looking back through our tour records I noticed that the Littlehampton course is very similar in design and build to the
Adventure Golf course in Scarborough -
55th course we played.

Hopefully on our next visit we'll have more time, and better weather, so we can get to play the Swedish Felt Crazy Golf and grass Putting courses there.

Hopefully we'll have time for a go on the train next time we're in town |
Many of the minigolf courses and leisure facilities in Littlehampton (and nearby
Bognor Regis) are operated by
Inspire Leisure. We've always found them in good condition and received very good service. Check out the
Inspire Leisure website for more info.
