Minigolf and Crazy Golf courses in Pub Beer Gardens

Details of Pub Miniature Golf courses we've found on our travels

On our travels around the UK we've found Minigolf and Crazy Golf courses at a few Pubs along the way. Though not as many as we'd have liked!

Here are the links to the Pub Miniature Golf courses we've visited and played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour to date:

Looking at the course lists on the excellent MiniatureGolfer.com website there are a few other Pub courses in England too.

Our friends at The Putting Penguin in the USA have also played some Mini-Golf courses in pubs and have set up courses at the Cambridge House Brew Pub in Connecticut!

Issue 8 (March 2012) of Inapub magazine – a pub trade publication – features Mini Golf as the ‘lesser known pub sport’ in the regular Minority Report section on page 39.

The piece includes the rules of the game, a quote from me, details of the Tudor Rose Inn at Fordingbridge and a link to the BMGA’s website.

The story is in the hardcopy of the magazine.

For fans of seasides, pubs and Minigolf there is great news as the smallest pub on the planet - the Signal Box Inn at Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway - has recently installed a 9-hole Miniature Golf course!

The 9-hole minigolf layout is in the beer garden at The Duke of Edinburgh pub in Brixton.
