Emily has visited the 689th and 690th courses on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - the Putting Green on the cliffs and Pitch & Putt at The Meadow in Cromer, Norfolk!
BIG Golf minigolf is open every day. Just not in the evening
A look at the courses in Cromer
The rules
We do like a BIG sign for minigolf of any type
Unfortunately the Pitch & Putt course wasn't open at the time of her evening visit.
The course is open during the week too (see the blackboard on the first photo) but opens at 11am at weekends
The Putting Green however was open on Emily's visit. But she saved her game for when she could face me - or so she says. I'll wager she mapped out some sneaky ace lines on her first viewing of the links putting course.
A lovely day in Cromer
A nice selection of putters
Always nice to see a Putting Green sign - especially when it says 'OPEN' too!
A lovely bit of signage
Another view of the course
Emily tells me she had a nice welcome from the man at the course
A revisit to Adventure Island Mini Golf in Southend on Sea.
On Saturday 25th June we swung by Adventure Island Mini Golf in Southend. It's had a few updates since we first played the Aztec and Inca courses there. Not least the addition of dinosaurs!
The courses were actually the very first Emily and I ever played on together! That was way back in 2003.
A visit to the Tee Party Crazy Golf at The Club House in Manchester.
I was recently in Manchester and headed along to the Spinningfields area of the city to check out the minigolf course that had been set up there.
Unfortunately the course had closed the day before so I couldn't play it.
Luckily the holes were still there so I had an interesting evening wander hunting out each of the holes that were spread out around the shopping and dining area.
A visit to Mr Mulligan's latest Adventure Golf course.
You can't miss the entrance to the Lost World Golf!
Last year we heard about a new minigolf venue opening in Stevenage and Mr Mulligan's latest course - Lost World Golf - opened at Stevenage Leisure Park earlier this year.

We've been itching to get along for a game and earlier this week we had a round on the two nautical themed courses. We loved it.

The courses became the 685th and 686th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and were the 403rd and 404th played.

The 16th hole in the Jungle
Our group hit the Jungle Explorers course for round one and followed this with a game on the Ocean Adventurers layout.

There is some excellent theming throughout the indoor Adventure Golf venue - not least the giant wooden submarine that sits in the middle of the two courses!
Local competitor Simon Hinton and the wooden submarine
What an obstacle/hole/feature!
The inside of the submarine contains a very very tough hole to play!
There's a real mix of obstacles and hole types and there's even a section of holes where you are plunged into blacklight - one of my favourite types of minigolf environments to play in.
