Clacton-on-Sea - Revisit - Augusta Masters Adventure Golf

A visit to the Augusta Masters Adventure Golf course in Clacton.

On the 23rd May 2009 we also played the Augusta Masters Adventure Golf course in Clacton-on-Sea. It was the 94th course played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. On our revisit yesterday we had another play on it.

Clacton-on-Sea - Revisit - 9-hole Carpeted Miniature Golf

A visit to the minigolf course in Clacton-on-Sea.

Back on the 23rd May 2009 we headed to Clacton-on-Sea in Essex, as part of a Roadtrip around East Anglia. On that occasion we played the 9-hole Carpeted Eternit Miniature Golf course, when it became the 93rd course we played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. On our revisit yesterday the course was not yet open for the season.

Minigolf on Clacton Pier - Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - Course Played #217

Playing minigolf on a pier!

On Sunday 8th May 2011 we headed to Clacton-on-Sea for a revisit to the seaside resort, and also to play the new Adventure Golf course on the Pier!

The course became the 217th we've played to date on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour!

In our Irregular Mini Golf Tour Match-up in Clacton, I just managed to defeat Emily 48-50, with a two on the 17th and final hole!

Clacton-on-Sea was nicer than on our trip there in 2009. A lot of the area seemed to have been given a spruce-up and there were a number of new amusements there. It's well worth a visit.

We've only ever seen one other Minigolf course on a Pier, although that one - in Southsea, Hampshire - was unplayable as there was nowhere to pay to play it!?

Brighton Pier used to have a Crazy Golf course on it too, the sign was still there in July 2008 but the course had been replaced by a Coconut Shy!

Correction (09/01/12) - Sandown Pier on the Isle of Wight also has a Miniature Golf course on it! We actually played there on the 26th July 2008! The setting of it (an indoor 'Lost World' theme) obviously made us forget we were playing above the waves!

216th Course Played - Ipswich - Suffolk Leisure Park - Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

On Sunday 8th May 2011 we visited and played our 216th Minigolf Course on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour!

The 9-hole course was at Suffolk Leisure Park in Ipswich.

It's a great little course, and quite testing on some holes, with a fair few Ace opportunities too.

We had visited the course before, back in December 2010, however the course wasn't yet completed and hadn't had the holes cut out!
