Alpine Adventure Golf in Llandudno

A revisit to the Alpine Adventure Golf course on the Great Orme in Llandudno.

Last August we revisited the Alpine Adventure Golf course at the Llandudno Ski and Snowboard Centre on the Great Orme in Llandudno, Wales. We'd originally visited and played the course during our road-trip around the Welsh coast in 2009.

A revisit to the Alpine Adventure Golf course halfway up the Great Orme. It was originally the 142nd course we played

This time we didn't play the minigolf, but instead had a couple of goes on the toboggan run!

What a view

There are three minigolf courses on the Great Orme mountain in Llandudno. In August we also revisited the Rocky Pines Adventure Golf course at the summit, as well as visiting the Great Orme Family Golf course halfway up on the town side for the first time.

Crazy Golf in Prestatyn, Wales

Revisiting the Crazy Golf course in Prestatyn, Wales.

Last September we revisited one of our favourite minigolf courses while on the Holiday on the Buses fan-club weekender in Prestatyn.

Playing hole 3

The Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf course on Bastion Road is a superb layout and a real test of putting skill.

A view of the course

Once again we competed in The Butler Cup Holiday on the Buses Crazy Golf tournament, a title I was defending!

The tournament part of the Holiday on the Buses Weekender in Prestatyn is organised by the On the Buses fan-club and held at the Bastion Road Crazy Golf course.

Teeing-off on hole 6

Prior to 2018 the Butler Cup tournament had two categories - Pro and Amateur - as quite a few professional minigolfers are also members of the fan-club! In 2014 Emily won the first edition to feature the Pro category. Brad Shepherd won the 2015 event, no tournament was held in 2016, while I won in 2017.

Our group won in the On the Buses fan-club Crazy Golf tournament, quiz and raffle

In 2018 57 players competed in a single title 18-hole one round shoot-out with Brad Shepherd once again lifting the title - in a tie with a fellow fan-club member. I was next in the rankings after the joint winners.
