This Saturday is National Miniature Golf Day

National Miniature Golf Day is always on the second Saturday in May, this year it falls on Saturday 12th May.

We hope you have a brilliant time wherever you get to play the game.

For some inspiration, why not check out the list of 815 courses we've visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Now up to 815 minigolf course visits

We've just got back from a brilliant long weekend of minigolf fun in the sun.

Having ticked off another five minigolf courses in East Anglia we're now up to 815 visits on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. 777 of them have been in the UK.

It was nice to have a round on the Putting course at Southwold. I managed to shoot the low round of the week and qualify for the course's end of season tournament too! What a nice bonus

During the Bank Holiday weekend we played at Southwold Putting & Cafe on the Green and Jiggers Miniature Golf at Thorpeness Golf Club & Hotel.

We also visited the Crazy Golf course at Southwold Boating Lake, a Putting Green at Thorpeness Golf Club & Hotel and the new Pirate Adventure Golf course at Stonham Barns. The latter of which is still under construction and is replacing the Crazy Golf course we've played before.

More blog posts from our trip to follow soon...

In the meantime, check out the full list of courses we've visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Minigolf in Nittel, Germany

A look for the Minigolf course in Nittel, Germany.

Cheers go to my brother, and Charter Member of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, Christopher Gottfried for sending along this photo of a sign for the Minigolf course in Nittel, Germany.

What a lot of signs

In typical Crazy World of Minigolf Tour fashion he went searching for the Minigolf and the Bürgerhaus, but couldn't find either.

Many thanks to my brother, and Charter Member of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, Christopher Gottfried for sending along these great snaps of the Miniature Golf course on the Esplanade de la Moselle in Remich, Luxembourg!

Minigolf in Remich

The Miniature Golf course is of the 'Eternit' variety

What a view and what a venue - there's minigolf, boules and a miniature railway at Remich Minigolf!

What a brilliant sign

The net - one of the trickiest obstacles in minigolf

I wonder how many more minigolf courses Christopher will see on his bike ride through Europe?

Check out the Minigolf Remich course website for more info.

Adventure Golf at Topgolf Surrey

There's a new Adventure Golf course opening at Topgolf Surrey.

Topgolf Surrey in Addlestone is home to a brand new Adventure Golf course. The 14-hole minigolf course is opening on 11th May.

You can see a overview of the course in this video from Topgolf.



Prices are £6 for adults and £5 for under 16s. More information about the course is on the Topgolf Surrey website.

When we lived in Luton one of our closest minigolf courses was the Adventure Golf course at Topgolf Watford. That one was the 8th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We're now up to 810 courses!

Crazy Golf at Roxy Ball Room in Manchester

Checking out the new indoor Crazy Golf course at Roxy Ball Room in Manchester.

Last week I had a round at a new local minigolf course here in Manchester as Roxy Ball Room on Deansgate has added an 18-hole indoor Crazy Golf course to the pool, beer pong and table tennis on offer at the venue.

The Roxy Ball Room Crazy Golf course was the 810th minigolf course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

It wasn't a particularly easy course and while I managed to get two holes-in-one my total score was 59!

To play the first 9-holes was £9 and it was £15 to play all 18-holes. It was the first time I've seen that pricing system in operation.

There are plenty of other pub sports to play at Roxy Ball Room

We've also played the indoor Crazy Golf course at Roxy Ball Room in Leeds. That course was the 673rd we visited.
