Playing the Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf course in Cleethorpes

A visit to the Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire.

Last May we had a brilliant break in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire. The seaside resort has a number of minigolf courses, one of which is the classic Arnold Palmer Putting Course near the pier.

We'd visited Cleethorpes once before, back in May 2011. Unfortunately the course was closed on that occasion. Luckily the 18-hole course was open this time and I enjoyed a few games on the excellent layout during our few days in town.

Happy 34th Birthday to DK Fibreglass

Congratulations to the team at DK Fibreglass on achieving 34 years in business.

The Crazy Golf course at the MiniLinks in Lytham St Anne's

This week the team at DK Fibreglass are celebrating 34 years in business. In that time they have produced lots of Crazy Golf courses, many of which we've played on our travels.

Playing the Crazy Golf course in Hunstanton

The first DK Fibreglass Crazy Golf course we played was in Verulamium Park back in 2007. That particular minigolf course was replaced by another of the DK Fibreglass range, one which spells out the word 'CRAZY GOLF' in the layout.

Letters / Holes C and G on the Verulamium Park Crazy Golf course in St Albans

When we lived in Luton our local course at Wardown Park was a DK Fibreglass one and we played on it a lot before it was removed in 2015.

Hole 1 of the second DK Fibreglass course we ever played. Our old local course in Luton

One of the trademark obstacles on DK Fibreglass courses is 'Humpty'. I've been photographed with him a lot on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour!

The first Humpty I saw was on the first DK Fibreglass course I played. This was in St Albans back in 2007

Since our Crazy Golf adventures began in September 2006 we've visited 859 courses. Of those 31 have been DK Fibreglass minigolf courses. However, only one of those has been of the special '5 Star Crazy Golf' variety - a course I managed to complete a perfect round on back in 2011.

There are 5 numbered cups on the 5 Star Crazy Golf courses from DK Fibreglass

There are still a number of minigolf courses for us to visit around the country and we know that some of those are DK Fibreglass layouts. One of which is the Crazy Golf course at the Herrings Green Farm Birds Of Prey Activity Centre in Bedford.

Check out the DK Fibreglass website for more information on their products.

New Puttshack indoor high-tech minigolf venue opening at Lakeside Shopping Centre this spring.

The second Puttshack venue is set to open this Spring and will be located at the Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex.

I swung by Puttshack at Westfield London last December. The course is a new concept in miniature golf and features four 9-hole indoor minigolf courses featuring new technology to show real-time leader-boards, video highlights and interactive holes.

Puttshack is a joint venture between ping pong venue Bounce and TopGolf. The team at Puttshack have plans for a third venue to be located in the city of London.
