Buccaneer Bay Adventure Golf in Littlehampton

Playing the Buccaneer Bay Adventure Golf course at Norfolk Gardens in Littlehampton.

On Sunday we met up with our friend and minigolf rival 'His Excellency' Anthony Pope for a game at the Buccaneer Bay Adventure Golf course at Norfolk Gardens in Littlehampton.

A wild tee-shot on hole 5!

The course was the 381st played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in 2015 and I first visited it in 2012.

Since then the course has been given a refurbishment, with fresh felt, new borders and a new pirate theme.

Emily on hole 6

The Buccaneer Bay Adventure Golf course is one of the largest miniature golf courses we've played and some of the holes are really long.

And holes out for a 2

In our minigolf match-up on the 9-hole layout I managed to win with a score of 28. Anthony was runner-up on 32, while Emily took third place with a round of 34 having scored a 7 on the last hole.

Unfortunately we didn't have time for a ride on the miniature railway in Norfolk Gardens on this occasion.

There's plenty to do in Norfolk Gardens

The work to upgrade the course and transform it into Buccaneer Bay Adventure Golf was done by the team at HM Adventure Golf.

The Novelty Automation amusement arcade in London

Revisiting the Novelty Automation amusement arcade in London.

On our way back from a trip down to London earlier this month we took a shortcut on our way to the station and noticed we were on the same road as the Novelty Automation amusement arcade. We hadn't visited since it first opened in 2015 so had to go in for a play on the madcap arcade games. The 1st of April was the perfect day to play.

The arcade games at Novelty Automation are from the mind of inventor Tim Hunkin. I enjoyed my game on i-Zombie. There's a nice surprise at the end of the game too!

We first discovered the crazy novelty automation games at the Under the Pier Show arcade on Southwold Pier in Suffolk in 2009.

I really liked My-Nuke when we played at Novelty Automation in 2015

It was brilliant to see some of my favourite games were still there, alongside some new additions.

The Small Hadron Collider hadn't been installed on our last visit 

One of the games is a paparazzi drone simulator!

Marine Gardens Putting course in Worthing

A revisit to the Marine Gardens Putting course in Worthing.

The flags were not out

On Saturday evening we had a stroll along the promenade to visit the Marine Gardens in Worthing.

The cups were in place though

Unfortunately we were a little late to play a game on the course.

Spot the wolf!

We'll play it one day...

It's a lovely looking Putting course 

In 2016 out friend and minigolf rival Trevor 'Lord of Smeeth' Robertson noticed that a quirky Crazy Golf style course had been set up next to the grass Putting Green at the gardens.

Splash Point Mini Golf in Denton Gardens, Worthing

A revisit to Splash Point Mini Golf in Worthing's Denton Gardens.

The early bird... gets the nice and clear course

On Saturday 6th April we replayed one of the trickiest and fun miniature golf courses in the country as we swung by Splash Point Mini Golf in Denton Gardens, Worthing.

Playing the hardest hole on the course

Splash Point Mini Golf is one of my favourite minigolf courses and is a real test of putting skill.

Emily at Splash Point Mini Golf

In our match-up on the 18-hole course I managed to win against Emily with a 47 to 50 scoreline.

Splash Point Mini Golf is a colourful Crazy Golf course  

It's always nice to have one's achievements acknowledged

When we had a wander through Denton Gardens in the afternoon it was lovely to see the course busy with players

In 2010 the 18-hole course in Worthing's Denton Gardens became the 181st course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We're now up to 862 courses, with many many many revisits to courses since we set off on our travels in September 2006.
