A visit to Mr Mulligan's Adventure Golf in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.

The Enchanted Forest course at Mr Mulligan's Adventure Golf in Milton Keynes

We swung by Mr Mulligan's Adventure Golf in Milton Keynes earlier this month.

Mr Mulligan's Adventure Golf in Milton Keynes

Mr Mulligan's Adventure Golf can be found in the Theatre District of Milton Keynes and is home to two 12-hole indoor courses.

We played both - there's a discount when playing both layouts - teeing-off on the Enchanted Forest course, before tackling the Underwater Kingdom.

In our minigolf match-up Emily shot a 27 to defeat me and my 29 on the Enchanted Forest. I won the round on the Underwater Kingdom with a score of 27 to Emily's 33, to also give me the overall victory 56 to 60.

We've played several of the Mr Mulligan's brand of minigolf on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, including the outdoor Pirate Golf Mr Mulligan's at the Abbey Hill Golf Centre also in Milton Keynes.

The theming on the courses was excellent. We both agreed that the Enchanted Forest was our favourite of the two challenges.

The giant Venus Fly Trap was my favourite hole on the course - I managed to get a hole-in-one on it too

The Enchanted Forest course at Mr Mulligan's was the 1,032nd course visited and 570th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006. The Underwater Kingdom was the 1,033rd visited and 571st played.

You can find Mr Mulligan's minigolf courses in Basildon, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Bristol, Cheltenham, Milton Keynes, Newcastle, Norwich, Nottingham, Romford, Sidcup, Stevenage, Tonbridge, Woking, and Worcester.

As Curators of The Crazy Golf Museum it's nice to see another museum including minigolf as an interactive exhibit to facilitate learning.

We visited Cumbria earlier this year, but didn't have time to visit Whitehaven. Hopefully we'll get to have a game on the Mini Golf Cumberland Edition course at The Beacon Museum on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Robotazia - a robot-themed restaurant in Milton Keynes

On our recent trip to Milton Keynes we spotted a robot-themed restaurant in the Theatre District.

Sadly it was permanently closed.

What a concept though.

Winning the Weymouth Mini Golf Open

I won the Weymouth Open minigolf tournament on this day in 2008.

The inaugural Weymouth Open minigolf competition was held on the 18-hole Pirate Adventure Mini Golf course at the Weymouth Sea Life Centre at Lodmoor Country Park in Weymouth, Dorset on Sunday 12th October 2008.

I had an excellent career record in Weymouth Open events. As well as winning the individual title in 2008, my team-mate Chris Harding and I were the Weymouth Open doubles champions in 2011.

I was also runner-up in the 2009 and 2011 events and seventh in 2010. In the 2009 tournament Kevin Moseley and I were tied after two rounds and it took 4-holes of a sudden-death play-off to separate us.

The Pirate Adventure Mini Golf course was the 77th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We've now been to 1,037 courses since September 2006.

'Pop Up' Summertime Fun in Luton

We missed it.

We revisited our old home town of Luton last weekend and spotted this poster in the window of the old Debenhams advertising the 'Pop Up' Summertime Fun event in Luton's Wardown Park earlier this year. It included free Crazy Golf!

We've spent a lot of time in Wardown Park. The park has had some different courses over the years - including a fibreglass Crazy Golf layout, and a Putting/mini-Pitch & Putt course. It's currently home to an Adventure Golf course.

Wardown Park's first miniature golf course opened on the 19th June 1934 - so our visit in 2021 came 87 years to the day since the first putt was taken in the park!

Aces Minigolf Gloucester is growing

The superb 12-hole miniature golf layout at Dobbies Garden Centre in Gloucester is expanding to become an 18-hole course.

We played the Aces Minigolf Gloucester course in July 2021 to play a few rounds and compete in the Aces Minigolf Gloucester Invitational Tournament - that event was the first minigolf competition we'd played in since 2019 and it was fun to be back in action.

The new holes will be on the other side of the fence on the right hand side

It'll be interesting to see what the new 6-holes look and play like.

Aces Minigolf Gloucester

Aces Minigolf Gloucester was the 967th course visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 550th played since September 2006.

Charity Crazy Golf at Woburn Sands Emporium

A look at the Charity Crazy Golf course at Woburn Sands Emporium in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.

Charity Crazy Golf at Woburn Sands Emporium

We recently found that the Woburn Sands Emporium garden centre was home to a Charity Crazy Golf course, so we had to head along for a game.

It's always fun finding a minigolf course we didn't previously know about. And superb when it's a unique layout.

Emily tees-off

The Crazy Golf course at Woburn Sands Emporium certainly was different, and it was brilliant to play the 7-hole course!

The Charity Crazy Golf at Woburn Sands Emporium was the 1,037th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

A combined 1,037 miniature golf courses visited

A view of the course from hole 7 (the flag is from when the course had 9 holes)

In our minigolf match I took the win with a score of 17 to Emily's 18. It had been close for the first six holes, with Emily ahead by one shot. But the final hole was a round wrecker and game killer. Emily played first and shot a 6, while I was able to hit a 4 and take the win.
