Surfside Crazy Golf at Pensarn Beach in Abergele

Playing the Crazy Golf course at the Surfside Amusements in Abergele.

The second Crazy Golf course we played on our holiday in North Wales was at the Surfside Amusements in Abergele.

The course has 13-holes

The course is a 13-hole layout, with 9-holes of Crazy Golf in a sea world theme, while holes 10-13 are completely different. It's an odd and intriguing layout and was good fun to play.

On Friday 22nd September the Surfside Crazy Golf course at Pensarn Beach in Abergele became the 463rd played and 782nd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

In our match-up on the 13-hole course I won with a score of 17 to Emily's 20.

Numero one in Abergele

We had a great time playing the course. It's a unique layout and it was nice to play a mixture of holes and obstacles - it was like playing two courses in one, especially when you consider how big the 10th hole was!

As a bit of a train nerd it was fun hearing and seeing the variety of trains thundering passed the course too.



The Sea World Crazy Golf course at the Surfside Amusements is well worth a play. On our visit it was just £2 a round. Marvellous fun.

Mini Golf at the Four Ashes Golf Centre in Dorridge

A look at the Mini Golf course at Four Ashes Golf Centre in Dorridge, Solihull.

It was a very wet Saturday when we called into the Four Ashes Golf Centre in Dorridge

On Saturday 9th September we visited the Four Ashes Golf Centre in Dorridge to play the new 18-hole Adventure Golf course. While there we also had to have a look at the 12-hole Mini Golf course - we've played it so many times over the years. It was the 72nd course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in 2008.

Hole 1

A nice hole to start your round - but it can be a tough second putt if you don't get your reboud right

Hole 2

The optical illusion can trick you into playing too hard a shot. This will leave you with a tough second putt

Hole 3

A nice ace opportunity

Hole 4

A nice tester

Hole 5

Another good chance of a hole in one

Hole 6

A good ace hole too

Hole 7

A potential round killer!

Hole 8

You need to play a perfectly paced shot on this hole. The reward is a lovely hole in one

Hole 9

You do not want to end up in the ditch

Hole 10

I don't think I've ever scored a hole in one on this hole

Hole 11

Another potential round ruiner!

Hole 12

A nice way to end your round

Crazy Golf at the Rhos Fynach in Rhos on Sea

Playing the Crazy Golf course at the Rhos Fynach pub and restaurant in Rhos on Sea.

You can find the course on Rhos Promenade

We began our holiday in North Wales at Colwyn Bay and Rhos on Sea on Miniature Golf Day. To celebrate the occasion we teed-off on the Crazy Golf course at the Rhos Fynach pub and restaurant in Rhos on Sea.

Holing out on The Pirates Skull hole

The sign has a nice map of the course

Nice to see a windmill on the course

The Crazy Golf at the Rhos Fynach in Rhos on Sea became the 462nd played and 781st visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The green of the windmill hole has a plateau on it too

In our match-up on the 9-hole course I won with a score of 31 to Emily's 34.

Playing out the windmill hole

Hole 3 - The Squid - is one of two holes on the course that has a choice of cups to aim for. A 'Kids' and an 'Adults' version - both were pretty tough!

The pirate ship on the 6th hole

 

Always nice to see some Crazy Golf advertising

The course has an excellent scorecard with a nice map of the layout.

The course map is a neat touch
