Putting and a Pitch & Putt on South Parade, Skegness

Skegness is home to two Pitch and Putt-type Mini Golf courses (that we found).

The Pitch & Putt on the South Parade was closed on our visit on Friday 20th May, but was open on the 21st May. However, with a Crazy Golf course to play in Ingoldmells and a lot of ground to cover on the road to Hunstanton, Norfolk we didn't have time to play it.

As well as the Pitch & Putt, there is also a Putting Practice Area, however, the flags were not out for this, even on the Saturday. Perhaps it was a little too early in the season.

There was also no sign of the 'Crazy Pool' that was advertised on the poster/sign down the prom!?

The course on South Parade in Skegness is one of the world's oldest locations to play minigolf and is believed to be the site of England's first miniature golf course. Set-up in the 1920's the date of its establishment varies from 1922 to 1927.

Skegness (Pebble Adventure Golf) - Closed on Visit

Unfortunately on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour visit to Skegness we were unable to play the Pebble Adventure Golf as it wasn't open any of the time we were there. This was quite odd as it sits in a prime location!?

Bottons Pleasure Beach in Skegness

Playing the Gold Mine Adventure Golf course and a ride on the Cactus Canyon River Ride at Bottons Pleasure Beach.

While wandering along the seafront in Skegness on the 20th May I had spotted what looked to be a Minigolf course from the beach, and indeed it was. It was the last of the courses we had seen on the MiniatureGolfer.com list that we had not yet 'scouted out' during our stay.

So, on the 21st we headed to the course for a round of Minigolf and a go on the Cactus Canyon River Ride!

Like all good themed Adventure Golf courses there was some great Pirate-y music playing on the course :-)

The course was the 239th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and in our In our Irregular Mini Golf Tour Match-up...I defeated Emily 19(+1) to 25(+7).

The course was also described as 'Adventure Putting'. The first time we have played a course called this.
