Crazy Golf at Challenge Point Manchester

There's a new indoor minigolf course in Manchester.

Challenge Point Manchester is now open in Manchester's Northern Quarter. The venue is home to a Crazy Golf course, but one with a difference.

The Crazy Golf course is one of five crazy mini games at the venue. Teams are tasked with trying to win as many points as possible by playing each of the mini challenges in their overall game.

As well as Crazy Golf, competitors need to tackle a Laser Maze, play Tokyo Tanks (remote control tanks), dive into a Ball Pit, and play a shooting game.

Visit the Challenge Point Manchester website for more information.

Charity Crazy Golf at Woburn Sands Emporium, October 2023

Playing the Charity Crazy Golf course at Woburn Sands Emporium in Milton Keynes.

On our recent trip to visit our old home town of Luton we stayed in Milton Keynes and on the drive between MK and Luton stopped off at the Woburn Sands Emporium.

The Woburn Sands Emporium garden centre is home to a Charity Crazy Golf course raising money for Willen Hospice.

It's always fun finding a minigolf course we didn't previously know about. And superb when it's a unique layout. The Crazy Golf course at Woburn Sands Emporium certainly was different, and it was brilliant to play the 7-hole course!

The Charity Crazy Golf at Woburn Sands Emporium was the 1,037th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

Check out the Woburn Sands Emporium website for more information. It's an excellent garden centre with plenty to see and do there.

Treasure Island Adventure Golf in Southsea

We played the Victory Trail course at Treasure Island Adventure Golf in Southsea, Hampshire on this day in 2006 and at the end of our 9-hole round on Saturday 30th September I won a free game by firing the cannon on the lucky last hole!

My free game card from Treasure Island Adventure Golf in Southsea - never used!

We've been putting on our crazy golfing adventures ever since.

When our travels began in 2006 there were around 600 courses in the UK. There are now more than 1,000, and there are lots of new places to play the game opening all the time.

We've now been to 1,030 courses overall in the last 17 years, with 983 of those courses in the British Isles.

You can see all of the courses we've visited on this Crazy World of Minigolf Tour list.

Playing a round at the Lake District Coast Aquarium Crazy Golf course in Maryport.

Crazy Golf at the Lake District Coast Aquarium in Maryport

Back in April 2012 we swung by the Lake District Coast Aquarium in Maryport, Cumbria while en route to Scotland as we'd heard about the minigolf course there. Unfortunately we arrived just after 5pm so couldn't have a game. The Maryport Crazy Golf course was the 469th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
