Tidal Bay Crazy Adventure Golf in Sherfield on Loddon

A visit to the Tidal Bay Crazy Adventure Golf course in Sherfield on Loddon, Hampshire.

Our recent trip to Southampton saw us visit 18 more courses, playing eight of them. One of the courses we had a round on was Tidal Bay Crazy Adventure Golf at the Wyevale Garden Centre in Sherfield on Loddon, near Hook in Hampshire.

We really enjoyed playing the 18-hole Adventure Golf layout. There were plenty of challenging holes and the layout looked nice and played well.

The course has a par of 49 and in our minigolf match-up at Tidal Bay Crazy Adventure Golf Emily won with a score of 48 to my 53.

Check out the Tidal Bay Crazy Adventure Golf website for more information, opening times and prices.

It was the first time we'd seen this particular obstacle on a course - it made for a nice hole-in-one, if you could hit a straight tee-shot!

Hole 18 - a nice 'net' cup to putt into

We'd first heard about the Tidal Bay course from our friends and fellow minigolf explorers Matt and Helen Dodd as it's one of their local courses.

The Tidal Bay Crazy Adventure Golf course was the 515th we've played and the 883rd visited overall. It was the 845th course we've visited in the British Isles.

How many turtles can you spot?

It also became the 900th visited overall - including courses visited by Christopher Gottfried's branch of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - since our aventures began down in Southsea, Hampshire in September 2006.

Christopher has visited 26 courses on their own bit of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. Emily and I have also visited eight of those courses, but 18 of the courses are from their travels to other courses in the UK, Turkey, Majorca, Italy, Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, France and Indonesia!

The combined total of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour is now at a mammoth 905 courses visited!

Our Crazy Golfing adventures are speeding along

A visit to the new Crabstix Adventure Golf course at Cromer Boating Lake in Norfolk.

Charter member of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour Christopher Gottfried has visited the new Crabstix Adventure Golf course at Cromer Boating Lake in Norfolk.

The new 18-hole Adventure Golf course was built by the team at Castle Golf and replaced the old Crazy Golf course that had been at the Boating Lake site for the past 27 years.

We visited Cromer in July 2016 and enjoyed our time in the seaside resort. The old Crazy Golf course at the Boating Lake was the 687th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We've now been to 887 courses since September 2006.

We're looking forward to a return visit to Cromer to play the new Crabstix Adventure Golf course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Adventure Golf at The Leys Recreation Ground in Witney

A visit to the Adventure Golf course at The Leys Recreation Ground in Witney, Oxfordshire.

Our trip to Southampton saw us visit 18 more courses, playing eight of them. One of the courses visited was the Adventure Golf course at The Leys Recreation Ground in Witney, Oxfordshire.

We hadn't expected to be visiting Witney, but as traffic meant our route changed we couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit the course.

Unfortunately we didn't get to have a game on it as it had already closed for the day. Earlier than the sign said.

We arrived in the park at 5.15pm on a Friday

The Adventure Golf course at The Leys Recreation Ground in Witney was the 869th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

It looked like a nice layout.

The 9-hole course was designed and built by the team at HM Adventure Golf and opening in 2018.

 

Visit The Coffee Shed website for more information, opening times and prices for the Adventure Golf course.

Putting Green at Griffin Park in Porthcawl

A visit to the Putting Green at Griffin Park in Porthcawl.

On my way home from the Welsh Mini Golf Club's Doubles Championships in Aberavon I stopped off at Porthcawl as I'd seen there was a Putting Green in Griffin Park. Unfortunately it wasn't yet open for the season and the groundskeepers were working on a few other areas of the park to get it ready for the summer.

We have been to Porthcawl before, although only to Trecco Bay Holiday Park where we played Adventure Golf back in 2009. So it was nice to explore a new seaside resort and play in some new amusement arcades.

Porthcawl beach looked amazing

The Putting Green at Griffin Park in Porthcawl was the 886th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

I also saw a 7D cinema there! Sadly it was closed

A visit to the Adventure Golf course at Romsey Rapids Sports Complex in Southampton.

The sports themed course has a podium on the 18th hole - a very nice touch

Our road-trip to Southampton and back saw us visit 18 more courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. One of them was the Adventure Golf course at Romsey Rapids Sports Complex in Southampton, Hampshire.

Lots of sports are on offer on the minigolf course!

The Adventure Golf course at Romsey Rapids Sports Complex was the 877th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Anyone for tennis?

Or a swim

Rugby too. Not sure if it's Union or League though

Bridge is a sport right?

Emily's at the cricket

Stumped how you'd get a hole-in-one on this hole

I wonder what the best score is on the Romsey Rapids Crazy Golf course

 

The cricket hole

Hole 18 and the podium
