Missing Wales

It'll be brilliant when it's once again safe for us to visit.

New Adventure Golf for Southport Pleasureland

A new year-round Dinosaur Adventure Golf course is planned to open at Southport Pleasureland


We've really enjoyed our visits to Southport Pleasureland, especially around Halloween.


Southport is one of our local seasides and we've played minigolf there a number of times over the years.

We first visited Southport back in 2009. At that time the old Pleasure Land theme park had recently closed down and therefore we were unable to play the Moroccan Adventure Golf course there.

New Adventure Golf course to open in Harrow

New dinosaur adventure golf course opening in Harrow, London.


There's a new dinosaur adventure golf course opening at Bannister Outdoor Sports Centre in Harrow, London

Plans have been approved for a new dinosaur-themed adventure golf course to be built in Harrow.


The adventure golf course will be at Bannister Outdoor Sports Centre in Uxbridge Road, Harrow.


There's a real minigolf boom in London with lots of Jurassic and jungle-themed adventure golf courses opening up in the last five or so years. There are also a lot of new indoor minigolf and crazy golf courses opening in the city.

When we lived in Bedfordshire and commuted into London there were very few permanent courses in London, with a sprinkling in Greater London.

Back in July 2008 the 9-hole 'Mini Majors' Adventure Golf Course at Northwick Park in Harrow became the 59th minigolf course we played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We revisited in 2010.

At the end of the round I came out the winner by one-shot on 40(+4). Martyn, captain of the Welsh Minigolf Club, and Emily both hit 41(+5) and required a play-off.
