Playing the Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Whitby

A revisit to the Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf course in Whitby.

We originally visited the Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Whitby in March 2014 and earlier this year had the opportunity to return to the seaside town. Luckily the course was open to play this time!

Playing hole 1

It's a brilliant 9-hole Crazy Golf course with some classic Arnold Palmer obstacles including the Windmill and Waterwheel.

We had a fun and competitive round which ended in a draw after we both shot rounds of 20.

One round was certainly not enough for me though and I had to have another crack at the LUCKY LAST HOLE for a chance to WIN A FREE GAME PASS.

The Lucky 10th Hole

Luckily for me I managed the feat! The 'no expiry' free game card looks amazing and I won't be cashing it in as it's gone straight into my collection of miniature golf stuff.

Another FREE GAME PASS for the collection

My second round was a clean 16 (-2). Nice.

What should be an easy ace opportunity

You can find the Arnold Palmer Putting Course on North Terrace of the West Cliff in Whitby. It's well worth a visit.



The course was the 545th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and became the 385th played.

Mini Golf in London at Birdies Crazy Golf Club

Playing at a new London mini golf course in Waterloo.

Playing the loop-di-loop at Birdies Crazy Golf Club

On Tuesday 10th November we visited the latest Mini Golf course to arrive in London - Birdies Crazy Golf Club.

You can find the 9-hole miniature golf course tucked away in The Vaults underneath Waterloo station.

The first hole features real sand bunkers

Birdies Crazy Golf Club is open six nights a week until the 20th December, with a round of Crazy Golf costing £9 per person, per round.



In addition to the underground minigolf course, food and drink is available from the Caddy Shack clubhouse. On our visit we enjoyed a couple of 'Glory Hole' cocktails there!

The loop-di-loop fourth hole, with one of the two bars in the background - they've got a good range of golf-themed cocktails on offer. The 'Glory Hole' was particularly pleasing!

We really enjoyed our visit and game of Crazy Golf. When we first arrived the venue was heaving and the course packed with Crazy Mini Golfers. Before we left I had a second round on the well designed minigolf course.

A busy Birdies

One of our favourite holes. We actually saw one player get their ball to stay on the top of the ramp, and another land in the area below the holes!

The course has a par of 23 and in our match-up I scored an 18(-5) to Emily's 22(-1). In my solo round I shot a 17 (or a 16 if you count the hole-in-one on the 7th hole as a -1!).

What an achievement!

The Birdies Crazy Golf Club course is nice and playable and I'd love to go back and try to better my score.

Birdies Crazy Golf Club is well worth a visit

It'd be a great location for a minigolf tournament too - perfect for any weather conditions, a tricky and testing course, fun obstacles, a bar, hot dogs and another bar!

You can get Hot Dogs there too

The new London Crazy Golf course became the 672nd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 390th we've played.

Each of the nine holes at Birdies has a 'pro' tip from Tiger Would, here's a selection of them.

A Millport Crazy Golf postcard from the Isle of Cumbrae

Last year we visited the lovely little Isle of Cumbrae to play the Crazy Golf course in Millport, the island's only town. It's a great island to visit and just a short ferry voyage from Largs.

As a big collector of minigolf postcards I had to snap up this brilliant Valentine's "Silveresque" style postcard that shows the Crazy Golf course.

Crazy Golf, Millport, Isle of Cumbrae. A Valentine's "Silveresque" 3059V Style Postcard, published by Valentine & Sons Ltd. Dundee and London. Postally used at 4.15pm on the 4th June 1964 and mailed from Millport itself

The Millport Crazy Golf course was the 339th course played and 564th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. If you take a look at the course photos below you'll see that the course has changed very little since the 1960's. You can still see the very same hole layouts and obstacles!

Emily playing the three tunnel hole that you can see on the postcard

The toughest hole on the course was there in 1964 and it's still there now. You can see it in the background of the postcard

The double humps hole and the ramp & three holes hole can be clearly seen on the postcard

You can still purchase postcards of the course from one of the shops in Millport. We bought a stack of them to post to friends and family on our holiday.

Crazy Golf in Hastings

A look at the Crazy Golf course in Hastings, East Sussex.

Emily playing hole 1 of the course

The 39th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the classic Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf in Hastings, East Sussex back on the 26th of October 2007. Since then we've returned for a number of minigolf, crazy golf and adventure golf competitions in Hastings each year and were recently in town again - this time for the 13th annual World Crazy Golf Championships.

Here's a look at the course as at October 2015. It's well worth a play and is a great piece of seaside heritage.
