I grew up in Abingdon and visited Millets Farm a lot in the 80s and 90s. It's good to know the Crazy Golf course is still there. They'll be two more courses to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The 9-hole layout became the 519th course played and 892nd we've visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

It was a fun course and we had it to ourselves as the weather was a little rainy.
