241 Woodhall Spa (Bainland Country Park) - 5 Star Crazy Golf

The 241st course we played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was at Bainland Country Park, near Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire.

The 9-hole '5 Star Crazy Golf' was the first course of its type we have played on our travels. I also managed to score my first ever 'Perfect Round' of minigolf - scoring a Hole-in-One on each of the 9-holes!

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!

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.

Putting and a Pitch & Putt on South Parade, Skegness

Skegness is home to two Pitch and Putt-type Mini Golf courses (that we found).

The Pitch & Putt on the South Parade was closed on our visit on Friday 20th May, but was open on the 21st May. However, with a Crazy Golf course to play in Ingoldmells and a lot of ground to cover on the road to Hunstanton, Norfolk we didn't have time to play it.

As well as the Pitch & Putt, there is also a Putting Practice Area, however, the flags were not out for this, even on the Saturday. Perhaps it was a little too early in the season.
