New Adventure Golf course at Cardiff Golf Centre

There's a new dinosaur-themed Adventure Golf course opening at Cardiff Golf Centre.


We've got a new course to add to our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour 'to visit' list as there's a brand new Jurassic Adventure Golf course opening at Cardiff Golf Centre this week!

The 18-hole dinosaur-themed Adventure Golf course has been created by the team at HM Adventure Golf and will be open very soon. Visit the Cardiff Golf Centre and Tee-Rex Golf websites for more info, opening times and prices.

In April we played one of HM Adventure Golf's creations on a fun visit to Haigh Woodland Park in Wigan. I also had a round on their nice indoor layout in Bolton last December.

We're looking forward to having a round on the new Tee-Rex Adventure Golf course at Cardiff Golf Centre on our next visit to South Wales.

Crazy Golf at Valley Gardens in Harrogate

A look at the Crazy Golf course in Harrogate's Valley Gardens. 


Fellow minigolf golf enthusiasts Alex Hyman and Henri Myers recently sent over some snaps of the Crazy Golf course in Harrogate's Valley Gardens. It looks quite different to when Emily and I played the course back in 2014. Since that visit it's received a refurbishment by the team at UrbanCrazy.

Back in March 2014 the Crazy Golf course at Valley Gardens in Harrogate became the 328th played and 547th visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. Here's a look at some of the holes as they were back then.

Crazy Golf at Coate Water Country Park in Swindon

Playing Crazy Golf at the 750th course on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

On Friday 4th August we hit another big minigolf milestone as the 750th course was visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since our odyssey began back in September 2006.

The Crazy Golf course at Coate Water Country Park was in good condition and proving popular on my visit. It's an older style of course with nods to the continental European 'Beton' style of minigolf. The layout reminded me of the Crazy Golf course at Lister Gardens in Lyme Regis, with some very similar hole designs.

In my round I scored a 48 - 21 out and 27 in. I was close to getting some holes-in-one too.

After my fun round I had a go on the 9-hole Putting Green which was in excellent condition. I scored a 19.

I didn't have time to play the 18-hole Pitch & Putt course on this occasion, but it looked like a superb course.

The 18-hole Crazy Golf course was £3 for a round, the Putting Green was £1 and the Pitch & Putt was £4. Great prices. Check out the Coate Water Country Park website for more information.

There's also a miniature railway at Coate Water Country Park. I didn't have time to see it this time, but look forward to having a go on it in the future.

On the 17th September last year we visited the 700th course on our travels at Vickersway Park in Northwich, Cheshire. 28 of the courses we've visited have been overseas and the 700th visited in the UK was at Haigh Woodland Park in Wigan back in April.
