Abandoned Crazy Golf at South Inch Park in Perth

A visit to the derelict Crazy Golf course at South Inch Park in Perth, Scotland.

Perhaps the strangest course we've ever found is the derelict and abandoned Crazy Golf course at Perth's South Inch Park. The layout is one of the biggest we've seen, with some unique hole layouts too. It was so odd to see the course looking so eerie and weird.

The South Inch Park Crazy Golf course was pretty big

We visited South Inch Park during our roadtrip to Scotland and back in 2012. On the journey we were able to play 13 of the miniature golf courses we found, but unfortunately 36 of them were unplayable for one reason or another.

The derelict Crazy Golf course was the 29th visited on the roadtrip on the 8th April 2012. It was the 475th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. South Inch Park also had a grass Putting course, but it wasn't yet open for the season.

Happy February 3rd

Yesterday was Groundhog Day and the world famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and so predicted six more weeks of winter. Quite an interesting day.

Checking the Dull Men's Club's 2017 calendar today is free from any excitement.

Nothing to see here

Although this month's featured Dull Man has quite a story.

Village Water Pump Spotting is a thing

How Dick got started

Emily and I feature in the 2017 edition of the calendar for our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

On our travels we've played Mr Mulligan's Adventure Golf courses in Milton Keynes, Sidcup, Castleford, Woking and Stevenage. We've yet to play his Nottingham Pirate course.

Adventure Golf Putting at Noah's Ark Golf Centre in Perth

Playing the Adventure Golf Putting course at Noah's Ark Golf Centre in Perth, Scotland.

Back in 2012 we visited 49 courses on a BIG minigolf roadtrip exploring the north west of England, some of Scotland and the north east coast. One of these was the half indoors/half outdoors Adventure Golf Putting course at Noah's Ark Golf Centre in Perth.

Much of the course is covered by a barn-style roof

The course starts off indoors

And slowly progresses to become an outdoor layout

The course was the 28th visited on the roadtrip when we called in on the 8th April 2012.

The layout was the 290th played overall on our tour and the 474th visited since September 2006.

Of the 49 courses we stopped at on our roadtrip we managed to play thirteen of them. You can see the list and photos of these in the blog post 'Visiting a further 49 Minigolf and Crazy Golf courses in England and Scotland'.

During the trip we also visited St Andrews in Scotland to play the world’s first Miniature Golf course at The Himalayas Putting Course.

Visit the Noah's Ark Golf Centre website for more information, opening times and prices.

We did indeed

New Adventure Golf course at Tonbridge Golf Centre

A new Jurassic Adventure Golf course is planned for Tonbridge Golf Centre in Kent.

Tonbridge Golf Centre in Kent has announced plans to build a new 18-hole dinosaur themed Adventure Golf course at its venue on Cannon Lane.

Back in 2011 I got lost en route to Hastings and ended up in Tonbridge where I found the Crazy Golf course at Tonbridge Golf Centre. That course was the 218th played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Tonbridge Golf Centre's Crazy Golf course in 2011

On our travels we've played a fair few dino-themed courses and it's certainly a popular style for modern layouts.

The 600th course we visited had a Jurassic theme

The new Adventure Golf course at Tonbridge Golf Centre will be called Dino Putt World and will feature both static and animatronic dinosaurs. For more information visit the Tonbridge Golf Centre website and Facebook page.

Krazy Golf on Porth Island

Playing Krazy Golf on Porth Island, Newquay.

We unexpectedly spotted a Crazy Golf course at Porth Island on our drive from Newquay to Padstow during our South West of England roadtrip in 2015.

The most difficult hole on the course

The course looked interesting, and similar to a Beton Concrete type of miniature golf course.

At the 646th course visited on our tour

However, the playing surface was one of the most bumpy we'd ever played on and coupled with the bouncy golf balls made for one of the most frustrating rounds of minigolf we've ever played. In fact we didn't even manage to finish the round, instead calling it a draw with the score level at 55 shots apiece!

Playing over three cups before a tunnel and the actual final hole on this lane!

Very crazy Krazy Golf

  

The last hole was fairly straightforward...

...but had a funny green...

....with signs of repair...

...and a scary cup that we refused to putt into! Far too many cobwebs for our liking!

The course was the 47th visited on our two-week holiday, the 377th played overall and the 646th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.



You can find the Crazy Golf course next to the Newquay Football Golf layout. Check out the website for more info.

The Porth Island Football Golf course is different to FootGolf...

...most notably because it has a goal!
