We were lucky enough to visit Blackpool twice in August last year and that meant we were able to revisit a number of miniature golf courses there. One of those was the Crazy Golf course at Stanley Park.

There used to be a grass Putting course next to the Crazy Golf. That's long gone, as is the Booking Office kiosk.

Unfortunately we didn't have time on either occasion to make the most of a full visit to the Blackpool Tower, so we're saving our visit to play the Dino Golf course there for another day.
