A look at the Pitch & Putt and Crazy Golf courses at Shibden Park in Halifax.
We visited Halifax in West Yorkshire for the first time on Saturday. We've been meaning to go there since we moved north in 2016 and finally found some time to a look round. We really liked the town and are looking forward to a return visit.
While there we played at the new Galactic Golf indoor adventure golf. Once we'd wandered around the town centre we drove out via Shibden Park where we knew there was a four-hole(!) Crazy Golf course.
Shibden Park is a nice spot and we enjoyed our walk round it. We also found it's home to a miniature railway.
As the park is quite large and we didn't fancy a wild goose chase looking for the Crazy Golf course I called Brad and he told me the course was next to a Pitch & Putt course. Another bonus.
Unfortunately as it's currently out of season neither the Pitch & Putt or Crazy Golf was playable on this occasion.
The indoor Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf courses in Leeds are now lost courses.
Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf in Leeds
We were in Leeds at the weekend and while chatting to my friend Morrt at the Collectorabilia event I found out that Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf had closed down!
A look back at the old Crazy Golf course at the Abbey Meadows in Abingdon-on-Thames.
One of the courses we've visited and played on our travels but has since become a 'lost' course was the 10-hole Crazy Golf layout at the Abbey Meadows in my home town of Abingdon.
The course was the first one I ever played way back in the early 1980's.
The course had been in the park since the 1950's but was removed at the end of the 2016 season as part of renovations to the area.
It's always sad to see an old miniature golf course removed. Especially so when it's not even replaced by a new one.
