A look back at the Minigolf course in Hastings.

Back in October 2007 the Minigolf course in Hastings became the 40th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. While it looks innocent enough, it was one of the trickiest courses we've ever played!

There are always a lot of seagulls down Hastings seafront!

The course was replaced by a new Pirate Adventure Golf course in May 2011, which we revisited last month.

Visit the Hastings Adventure Golf course website for more information, opening times and prices. You can also download a new Hastings Adventure Golf App for Android and iPhone which allows you to earn rewards each time you play the course.

Minigolf and Crazy Golf in Barnard Castle - Then and Now

Details of the 9-hole Mini Golf course at Scar Top in Barnard Castle, County Durham.

Last July we visited Barnard Castle in County Durham to launch the new Minigolf course in the redeveloped park at Scar Top.

The new Mini Golf course, designed and built by UrbanCrazy with 'A Journey Through Teesdale' theme, replaced an old Crazy Golf layout that had become tired.

Check out the photos of 'Then' and 'Now' below, with the old course photos provided by our friend in the north John 'Man of a Thousand Nicknames' Moore.
