Putting and Crazy Golf at the Victorian Pavilion, North Promenade in Hunstanton

We arrived at Hunstanton in Norfolk on Sunday 22nd May 2011 and the first minigolf course we headed to was at the North Promenade.

We'd heard there was a Crazy Golf course there, but as a bonus on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour we also found at there was a two-tiered 18-hole Putting course too!

The service we received was brilliant. Peter in the Victorian Pavilion hut was very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome in Hunstanton. He also gave us information about the other resort amenities, and some history of the area (more of which is contained in a display in the Victorian Pavilion building itself).

An unplayed Minigolf course in Long Sutton, Lincs - The Butterfly & Wildlife Park

We didn't manage to play the Minigolf course at The Butterfly & Wildlife Park in Long Sutton, Lincolnshire as the park was closed at the time we arrived.

The park also charged an £8.50 entry fee - which we would not have made good use of. Instead we headed off in search of more Minigolf and Crazy Golf in Hunstanton!

The course was the first we have ever played that also includes a Quiz!

On each hole there is a different question that tests you on your knowledge of the surroundings you are playing in.
