Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - Course Visit #170 - Barnet (Copthall/Metro Golf Centre) - Mini Golf

After visiting and playing the 18-hole Adventure Golf at Broomfield Park, the second minigolf course we visited on the 17th April 2010 was the 9-hole Mini Golf course at the Metro Golf Centre at Barnet Copthall in London.

The course was visit #170 on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

It's a great little 9-hole course, with some good ace opportunities, but some tricky second putts should your ball go 'over the edge'!













The 7th hole was a 9 foot Putt - very short indeed!










In the Irregular Mini Golf Tour Barnet Challenge competition Emily picked up the win with a round of 20(+2) to my 22(+4).

The Metro Golf Centre was also home to a four-hole Putting area.

Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - Course Visit #169 - London (Broomfield Park) - Adventure Golf

On Saturday 17th April 2010 we played two new courses on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour as we headed into London.

First up was a re-visit of sorts. Back on the 1st May 2007 we had visited Broomfield Park in Palmers Green to play the 18-hole Adventure Golf course. However, on that occasion we found the course to be closed (it is open on weekends and holidays only).

Luckily on our visit this time the weather was lovely and the course was doing a roaring trade.














In the Irregular Mini Golf Tour Broomfield Park Challenge I beat Emily by two shots - 41 to 43 (despite getting a horrible four on the 18th).



Sadly neither of us beat the course record of 34 (-2).



After playing at Broomfield Park we headed off to the Metro Golf Centre in Barnet for a game on their 9-hole Minigolf course.

Irregular Mini Golf Tour - East & West Anglia Masters 2010

Having played eight rounds of minigolf during our roadtrip around East and West Anglia the winner of the coveted and inaugural 'East & West Anglia Masters' title on the Irregular Mini Golf Tour was me with an 84-hole total of 239(+71)!

Emily was obviously second, with a score of 289(+121).

Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - Course Visit #168 - Sudbury, Suffolk (Maldon Grey Pub) - Crazy Golf

Just next to Cornard Tye is the town of Sudbury and as we were just driving through I noticed a pub beer garden with some obstacles and a bouncy castle in it. The obstacles looked like it was a Crazy Golf course and I was right, as the pub had a 9-hole course in the beer garden!

The pub is the Maldon Grey in Sudbury, Suffolk and the course was the 168th played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.








In the Irregular Mini Golf Tour Sudbury Masters competition I beat Emily 53 to 59 over two rounds.

Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - Course Visit #167 - Cornard Tye, Suffolk (Old Joe's Driving Range and Golf Course) - Putting

On the way back from Felixstowe we didn't expect to find any minigolf courses but as we were driving the scenic route back home on the 11th April we spotted a sign for a Golf Driving Range in Cornard Tye, Suffolk, and on a hunch we went to investigate.

As luck would have it, we found the Driving Range was also home to a Pitch & Putt course and a 9-hole Putting Course!



The Putting Green course is at Old Joe's Driving Range and Golf Course and was the 167th played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.




In the Irregular Mini Golf Tour Cornard Classic competition I beat Emily 51 to 58 over two rounds.

Felixstowe's new Crazy Golf course - an update

On our visit to Felixstowe at the weekend we saw that the new Crazy Golf course that was being built next to the Grass Putting Course is unlikely to be completed.

The Putting Course itself (course visit #53 on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour) has now been given over to an area for Donkey Rides!

Course Visit #166 (& 6a) - Felixstowe (Ocean Boulevard Golf/Hollywood Holes/Grand Canyon Golf - Sea Front) - Crazy Golf

On the 9th April 2010 we played the 'new' 8-hole Ocean Boulevard Golf course in Felixstowe, Suffolk.

Parts of this course were originally located at the Sea Road Crazy Golf course. And Eight of the former 12 holes of the old Sea Road course, and some of the obstacles, have been moved a little way down the seafront and been renamed 'Ocean Boulevard Golf'/'Hollywood Holes'/Grand Canyon Golf'!

This video shows an overview of the 'new' 8-hole crazy golf course.


The course was the 166th played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour (in addition to being #6a - in its previous incarnation as the Sea Road Crazy Golf course, aka Safari Golf).






In the Irregular Mini Golf Tour event played on the course - The Hollywood Classic - I beat Emily 22 to 32 over 8-holes.
