Derelict Minigolf course in Ayr

Finding another unplayable miniature golf course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour!

The 230th course NOT played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

When we arrived in Ayr we had a wander around the town and headed for the seafront. It was too late in the day to play the Mini Championship Golf course at Pirate Pete's, or the Crazy Golf and Mini Golf Putting on the seafront, but we scouted them out ready for a play on Monday.

Continuing just along the prom from the Crazy Golf and Putting I noticed a kiosk with a blanked out sign and guessed that it might be another Minigolf course. What I didn't realise was that it'd be a derelict 18-hole course!

On close inspection of the 'ghost sign' on the hut it said "Putting & Crazy Golf"! There was no sign of the Putting on the site anymore

The layout was a Miniaturegolf/Eternit type of course, with felt added to the concrete base. Quite a find!

The derelict Minigolf course in Ayr was the 230th course we've visited but not played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and the 572nd visited overall since September 2006.

Golf Putting in Ayr, Scotland - 18-hole seafront course

Playing the seafront Putting course in Ayr.

After playing the Crazy Golf course on the seafront in Ayr we headed over the fence for the second round of minigolf on the site and the 18-hole Putting course.

In our Putting match-up I defeated Emily by one shot, 42 to 43.

The seafront Putting Green course in Ayr became the 342nd played and 570th visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The course was well maintained and good fun to play. There is also a second-round-half-price deal at the two courses - both are well worth a play if you're in Ayr.

Playing the seafront Crazy Golf course in Ayr.

At the seafront Crazy Golf and Putting courses in Ayr

After playing the Mini Championship Golf course at Pirate Pete's in Ayr on Monday 28th July we headed down to the beach for a walk on the sand, before returning along the promenade to play on the Crazy Golf and Putting courses we'd spotted upon arriving in Ayr on the Saturday.

The Ayr seafront Crazy Golf course looks good and has a mix of wooden and fibreglass obstacles (upon its wooden frame)

The Crazy Golf course is in a great location just off the promenade

Emily plays a shot on the Ayr course. There are some great views from the layout

An unfortunate shot landed me in a tricky spot!

Putting at Ayr Crazy Golf

In our Crazy Golf match on the course I beat Emily 43(+7) to 47(+11).



The seafront Crazy Golf course in Ayr became the 342nd played and 570th visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

I really liked the clubs in use at the course, they were really high-quality putters.

Right next to the Crazy Golf course is a very good 18-hole Putting Course that we played too. The courses have a great deal where your second round (on either course) is half-price.

The seafront Putting course in Ayr lies just beyond the Crazy Golf course

Pirate Pete's Minigolf in Ayr, Scotland

Playing the 9-hole Mini Championship Golf course at Pirate Pete's in Ayr.

On the Mini Championship Golf course at Pirate Pete's in Ayr

The Mini Championship Golf course at Pirate Pete's in Ayr became the 341st played and 575th visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when we had a game there on the 28th July 2014.

The 9-hole course is at Pirate Pete's Family Entertainment Centre at The Pavilion on Ayr Seafront and each of the holes is based on a famous hole in 'big' golf.

 

Our match-up - played over 18-holes as one £4 play of the course allows you two 9-hole rounds - saw me beat Emily 41 to 45.

A nice looking and fun to play course that is well worth a visit if in Ayr.

Golf Putting Green in Prestwick

Visiting Prestwick and the new Miniature Golf Putting Green at Prestwick Beach.

The Putting Green at Prestwick Beach

Having visited Troon earlier in the morning we headed one stop down the train line to Prestwick to visit the new Putting Green at Prestwick Beach.

Outside the Putting Green at Prestwick Beach

Unfortunately, most likely due to the weather, it was also closed when we arrived.

The Prestwick Beach Putting Green costs £2 a round for adults

A shame as it looked like a good spot for a game of Minigolf. The putting surface looked to be on a bit of a slope and with the exposure to the elements would make for an interesting round.

The course became the 574th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 232nd visited but not played.
