Aces Minigolf Gloucester is growing

The superb 12-hole miniature golf layout at Dobbies Garden Centre in Gloucester is expanding to become an 18-hole course.


We played the Aces Minigolf Gloucester course in July 2021 to play a few rounds and compete in the Aces Minigolf Gloucester Invitational Tournament - that event was the first minigolf competition we'd played in since 2019 and it was fun to be back in action.

The new holes will be on the other side of the fence on the right hand side

It'll be interesting to see what the new 6-holes look and play like.

Krazy Golf Lydney in the Forest of Dean

Playing the Crazy Golf course at Krazy Golf Lydney.


Krazy Golf Lydney in the Forest of Dean

On our Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire road-trip we visited Krazy Golf Lydney in the Forest of Dean.

Krazy Golf Lydney in the Forest of Dean
Krazy Golf Lydney is in a nice spot in the Forest of Dean and can be found just off the A48 next to Taurus Crafts

We received a very nice welcome and it was great to chat to Roger and Georgina about Krazy Golf Lydney and it's history.

Krazy Golf Lydney in the Forest of Dean
There's plenty to do at Krazy Golf Lydney

The course is an interesting 15-hole layout, with a unique setting. We had a feeling the site was previously something else and this was confirmed by Roger who told us the area was once a miniature railway and model village!

Krazy Golf Lydney in the Forest of Dean
This wavy wooden ramp was a tricky hole to play

Each of the 15-holes on the themed Krazy Golf Lydney course is based on tourism in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. You can see the full list of attractions on the Krazy Golf Lydney website.

Krazy Golf Lydney in the Forest of Dean
Hole 1 has a Paintball Combat theme!

Interestingly one of the holes at Lydney is based on the Wye Valle Mini Golf course at Symonds Yat West! That Roman-themed course was the 193rd we played back in August 2010.

Another look at the wavy wooden hole

Krazy Golf Lydney became the 468th played and 787th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We had a hoot playing at Krazy Golf Lydney

A railway hole!

Krazy Golf Lydney in the Forest of Dean
This hole was interesting as the rules state that you must play your ball through at least four of the 'gates' before you could hole out

Krazy Golf Lydney in the Forest of Dean
I got past the four gates in one go. The second putt was a longish one though

Through a maze

There wasn't much room to manouevre for your second shots on this hole

In our match-up on the 15-hole course we tied on 38. However, as Emily scored a hole-in-one she picked up the win.

Emily was the champion at Krazy Golf Lydney in the Forest of Dean
Emily was the Lydney Krazy Golf Champion - what a nice touch to get a certificate. It's proudly displayed on our trophy shelf

As well as the Crazy Golf course you can play Foot Pool, Air Hockey, Pool, Table Tennis and Table Football, and a selection of garden games.

Foot Pool at Krazy Golf Lydney in the Forest of Dean
This was the second version of Foot Pool we'd seen on our recent travels. The first was at Pontins Prestatyn Sands

Krazy Golf Lydney also has a Crazy Golf Pool table game! We hadn't seen or played one on our travels before!
