Minigolf Course Visit No. 139 - Holyhead Park, Isle of Anglesey/Ynys Môn

On the 19th August we started the day's play on the Welsh leg of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour on the Isle of Anglesey/Ynys Môn.

The first of the Isle's courses to be played (and 19th of the Tour of Wales) was the 17-hole Crazy Golf course at Holyhead Park.

In wet and windy conditions we played a very interesting round on the unique and tough course.









Emily won this leg of the Tour with a 53 to my 66 (which was also the worst score on any course played on the trip to Wales).

Criccieth - no Minigolf, just 'Biggish' Golf

Our last stop on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour of Wales on the 18th August was to the seaside town of Criccieth to look for the two Mini Golf / Miniature Golf courses there.

However, both were found to be (closed for the day) Pitch & Putt courses.

Not playing Minigolf, Crazy Golf or Putting in Porthmadog

Following our visit to the excellent Leisure Park at Tywyn on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour of Wales we set off to visit Criccieth, via Porthmadog.

Whilst driving through Porthmadog town centre we noticed a Crazy Golf course in a park area and set about finding a parking space.

However when we arrived at the kiosk (at 5.30pm) we were turned away from playing as we were told the course closed at 6pm, despite the fact that other people were still playing!? So unfortunately the course lost out on two customers paying to (very quickly) play on their 9-hole Crazy Golf, 9-hole Minigolf and 9-hole Putting Green that all looked to be good fun.






The courses looked good, but unfortunately the customer service was poor.

Minigolf Course Visit No. 138 - Tywyn Leisure Park

Our next stop on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour of Wales was to Tywyn Leisure Park on Marine Parade in Tywyn.

This great venue had a huge range of games and activities including a 15-hole Crazy Golf course, Bowls, Tennis, Skittles and a Putting Course.

We had time on our schedule to play the Crazy Golf course, and as the skittles looked like great fun we had to have a mini competition on those too. Unfortunately we didn't have time to play on the 18-hole Putting course, a shame, but I hope to return and play there in the future.

Minigolf Course Visit No. 137 - Aberdovey (Aberdyfi) Bowling Club - Putting

After our visit to Aberystwyth we headed off to our next destination in Tywyn. However, on the drive along the coast I spotted what looked to be a Putting Course at the Bowling Club in Aberdovey.

I was right.



A very testing course, with some interesting undulating greens. Good putting practice.

No Crazy Golf course at the top of Constitution Hill, Aberystwyth...

...despite what some of the advertising says!?

When I asked a member of staff if there was a Crazy Golf course on Constitution Hill she said that there wasn't but lots of people had been asking about it. I wonder why!

There was however a 9-hole Frisbee Golf course. I played five of the holes and then gave myself sevens for the final four holes as it wasn't anywhere near as fun as Mini Golf and Crazy Golf.

As a sort of very poor consolation 'prize' I did manage to find an out of order 18-hole Putting Challenge Minigolf Arcade Machine in the 'Games Room'.

Minigolf in Aberystwyth

A visit to the minigolf courses in Aberystwyth, Wales.

I had wanted to visit Aberystwyth on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour for some time as I knew there has been a Crazy Golf course on the sea front next to the Old College building for many many years. The course has been depicted on quite a few old postcards.




What I hadn't realised was next to the Crazy Golf course was an excellent 9-hole Putting Course in the castle grounds!






Hopefully we'll get to once again visit Aberystwyth on our travels in the future.

Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in Wales - Day six, 18th August 2009

After a relaxing evening spent in the very nice harbour town of Aberaeron we set off on the next leg of our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in Wales. A stage of the journey that would see us find six new courses (of which three were closed), play five new courses, head up a cliff looking for a course but find it didn't exist and me playing my first (and last) round of Frisbee Golf.

Minigolf Course Visit No. 133 - Henllan Station on the Teifi Valley Railway

The second Crazy Golf course we visited on the 17th August was the 10-hole Crazy Golf course at Henllan Station on the Teifi Valley Railway (near Newcastle Emlyn).

It was free to play, with only a £1 deposit required for the clubs and golf balls.












In winning our match 3&1 at the course Emily won the 'coveted' Teifi Valley Railway Henllan Station Masters title.
