Mini Golf at Onchan Pleasure Park on the Isle of Man

Playing the Mini Golf course at Onchan Pleasure Park on the Isle of Man.

Last summer we had a holiday on the Isle of Man and visited five more courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. One of which was the Mini Golf (Pitch & Putt) course at Onchan Pleasure Park.

The 18-hole grass Miniature Golf course at Onchan Pleasure Park became the 826th visited and 489th played.

Hole 13 was an interesting one - it was the first time we'd seen a right angle hole on a Pitch & Putt course!

During our round I managed to score my first ever hole-in-one on a Pitch & Putt course. It came on hole 4.

East Park Mini Golf in Southampton

Playing the Mini Golf course at East Park in Southampton.

Our recent trip to Southampton saw us visit 18 more courses, playing eight of them. One of them was the Mini Golf course at East Park in Southampton city centre.

The long 18th hole

The 18-hole course at East Park was the 881st visited and 513th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. 

In our minigolf match on the East Park Mini Golf course I won by 20-shots(!) with a round of 45 to Emily's 65.

Visit the East Park website for more information, opening times and prices.















Prior to our trip we knew the minigolf course at East Park was there. Apart from that we weren't really expecting to do much minigolfing and certainly didn't expect to tick off another 18 courses!

When our travels began in September 2006 there were around 600 miniature golf courses in the UK. We've now reached 895 course visits, including 39 overseas.

Crazy Golf at Mooragh Park in Ramsey on the Isle of Man

Playing the TT Putting Crazy Golf course at Mooragh Park in Ramsey on the Isle of Man.

Last summer we had a holiday on the Isle of Man and clocked up five more course visits on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. One of which was the TT-themed Crazy Golf course at Mooragh Park in Ramsey.

The 18-hole TT Putting Crazy Golf at Mooragh Park became the 827th visited and 487th played on our travels.

Mooragh Park is also home to an 18-hole grass Putting course, that became the 828th visited and 488th played. That was a nice bonus as we were unaware of it before our visit.

Putting Course at Barrow Park

A visit to the Putting Course at Barrow Park in Barrow-in-Furness.

On a recent visit to Barrow-in-Furness we found a Putting Course at Barrow Park. Sadly it was closed.

The course looked like it was ready for play, or at least very nearly ready for the summer season.

Some of the holes looked really good, with plenty of lumps, bumps, twists and turns to tackle.

The course became the 893rd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Barrow Park is also home to a very nice looking model railway.
