Porth Island Krazy Golf in Newquay
A look at the Porth Island Krazy Golf course in Newquay, Cornwall.
We played the Porth Island Krazy Golf course in Newquay on our road-trip around the South West coast of England back in June 2015.
The course was similar to a Beton Concrete type of miniature golf course and interesting, if a little too difficult, to play.
The course was the 47th visited on our two-week holiday, the 377th played overall and the 646th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
Visit the Newquay Football Golf website for more information on the Porth Island Krazy Golf course.
