Gottfried's Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - 100 Minigolf Courses visited to date!

Mini Golf blog post about the visit to the 100th course on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

While I haven’t been able to play them all, due to closure/dereliction/flooding and visits ‘out of season’, to date I have visited 100 Minigolf courses around the UK, with a few played in Finland and the USA.

Number 100 was the 9-hole Arnold Palmer course at Pops Meadow Putting Green in Gorleston-on-Sea on Sunday 10th May 2009.
