Crazy Golf at the Sun Parlour Cafe in Ripon's Spa Gardens

There's a new Crazy Golf course at the Sun Parlour Cafe in Ripon's Spa Gardens.

We played the original layout at the Spa Gardens on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in June 2009! The new course looks very interesting, with some interesting obstacles and tricky holes.

The course has been updated for the 2021 season. Here's what it looked like earlier this year.

The new layout itself is very different to the large old concrete course we played.

It'll be nice to revisit Ripon and have a game on the Spa Gardens Crazy Golf course.

The new Adventure Golf course is located where the Futurist Theatre once stood.

On our travels we see minigolf courses everywhere - even where there aren't any. Last June I took this photo of the empty plot of land and we thought it'd be an ideal location for a course.

Minigolf in Scarborough

Last summer we revisited Scarborough and had a brilliant long weekend playing minigolf on the seaside resort's courses.

The North Bay Crazy Golf course was the 900th course we've visited overall and the 861st in the British Isles.

Scarborough's two bays have got a lot of choice for fans of minigolf, with a nice mix of Crazy Golf, Putting Greens, Pitch & Putt and Adventure Golf.

We're looking forward to returning on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in the future.

Back in June 2008 the course became the 55th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Unfortunately time and the weather were not on our side so we didn't get a chance to play the course for a second time.

An old postcard from Bridlington

A look at an old miniature golf postcard from Bridlington.

One of the old postcards I found at the last postcard fair I attended before the pandemic lockdown was this one showing Bridlington Princes Parade and The Spa Boating Lake. It was published by Photochrom Co. Ltd. and is unposted and undated.

I'd guess that it's from the late 1920's or early 1930's.

Interestingly the minigolf course being played looks to be a portable layout.

Portable and pop-up minigolf courses are very often seen as a modern thing. However there have been a number of seasonal set-ups at seaside locations over the years.

We've really enjoyed our visits to Bridlington. It's a nice seaside town and we've had some fun games of minigolf there. One of those was a temporary course at the Foreshore Sands.
