The new Bermuda Falls Adventure Golf course at Perfect Aquatics in Henlow, Bedfordshire has opened.
The 18-hole outdoor Adventure Golf layout is another new course for us to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
A blog about our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. With a sprinkling of nostalgia and urban exploration for good measure.

It's nice to see a disused bowling green put to good use |

When we lived down in Luton, Bedfordshire our local park had two miniature golf courses. One was a 9-hole grass Mini Golf layout, the other was a 9-hole fibreglass Crazy Golf course.
That's hole 1 of the Crazy Golf course under the snow |
The grass course at Wardown Park opened in 1934 and was an interesting one to play. It was too big to be considered to be a Putting Green, but not large enough to be classed as a Pitch & Putt, even though you were issued with an iron and a putter when you played.
You also received a paper ticket every time you played a round on the courses. A really nice touch and something we've rarely seen elsewhere on our travels |
Sadly both courses are now long gone. Luckily we played a lot of games there in the latter half of the noughties.
The area where the two courses were was turned into a mini meadow in 2015.
On our way back from Biggleswade yesterday we revisited the hamlet |
Luton's new Mini Golf Meadows |
The area does look really nice |

I spotted a metal cup from one of the grass minigolf holes sitting on the 'green' of the old Crazy Golf course. As a connoisseur of derelict minigolf courses it was interesting to see what had become of the old holes |
Hole 1 as it used to look |

Hole 8 is no longer this way. You can find plots A-D there though |
Signs of golf still exist 'in the rough' |
