Minigolf Course Visit No. 149 - Cae Glas Park, Oswestry, England

After nine days in Wales we headed back into England to play the first English Minigolf course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour road trip since the Swedish Felt B-run courses in Oxford on the 13th August.

The 32nd minigolf course visit we made on the Tour was to Cae Glas Park in Oswestry, where we found an 18-hole Eternit Miniaturegolf course.






The 18th-hole didn't actually have a hole in the lane, instead you had to putt through a plant pot!?


Emily celebrates after hitting an Ace on the 17th-hole to win the overall Holes-in-One on the Tour prize.

Minigolf Course Visit No. 148 - Riverside Park, Llangollen

The last course we would play on our 983 mile Crazy Golf road trip around Wales was the 9-hole Minigolf course at Riverside Park in Wales.

A great course, with a course record of 17(-1). We had scores of 24(+6) and 28(+10). With a bit of practice many of the holes could be Aced, but it's still a very tricky course.

Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - Tour of Wales (Final Day)

The final day of our Tour of Wales was on the 21st August and saw us first of all looking for a Minigolf course in Wrexham (Wrecsam). However, we couldn't find it despite a good look.

Our next (and last) stop in Wales was to Llangollen, before heading back over the border into England and a hunt for a course in Oswestry.

Gluten Free Fish & Chips in Colwyn Bay at the Rhos Harbour Bistro

After a heavy day's Minigolf it was time to enjoy some very good Gluten Free Fish & Chips at the Rhos Harbour Bistro in Colwyn Bay.



Rhos Harbour Bistro has an excellent menu for Coeliacs, check out their website here.

Of the 26 seasides visited while in Wales on our Crazy Golf and Minigolf Tour and the 77 seasides we've been to since September 2006 The Rhos Harbour Bistro is only the second place I have found that serves Gluten Free Fish & Chips on the coast. The other was Rossi's Fish & Chips in Swansea.

Minigolf Course Visit No. 147 - Arnold Palmer Putting at Prestatyn

The penultimate minigolf course we would play on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour visit to Wales was the excellent 18-hole Arnold Palmer Putting Course at Prestatyn.

A very well maintained course, with plenty of classic Arnold Palmer obstacles. Great fun, we had to play it twice before we could leave.







In the most random thing to occur while I've been playing a round of Crazy Golf, a cat appeared on the course, and fell asleep on the hole I was about to play!?

Jobbing to Arm Champs - the original Arm Wrestling Arcade Game

While in Towyn I spotted an original Arm Champs arm wrestling arcade game and couldn't resist having a go, despite my previous failures in Great Yarmouth in 2007 and May 2009.

You can see how I got on this time in the video below.

Bowlingo in Towyn

It can never be resisted. A spot of Bowlingo is always a good challenge!

Minigolf Course Visit No. 144 - Knightly's Crazy Golf, Towyn

Mini Golf blog post about our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour visit to Towyn during our tour of Wales in August 2009.




On our way from Llandudno to Rhyl on the penultimate day of our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour visit to Wales we passed through the town of Towyn. At the traffic lights we saw a sign advertising Knightly's Amusements and Fun Park on Sandbank Road and went to have a look.

To our surprise we found that next to the main car park at the bottom of Sandbank Road was a great little 9-hole Crazy Golf course.

As it was so much fun we had two plays on the course. In the first round Emily and I had scored 17(-1) and 18(-2) respectively, and thought we could better the scores with another game.

In round two Emily scored 17(-1) and I scored a 15(-3), but was left to think 'what might have been?' after notching up six holes-in-one and three threes!











Before we went to Towyn we had stopped off at Colwyn Bay's Eirias Park as we had heard there was a Minigolf or Crazy Golf course there. We found it no longer exists.
