It's always interesting to see some of the more 'hidden' courses around the UK as generally holiday park courses are only accessible to guests staying at the resort. Although this isn't always the case, so it's worth checking if the holiday camp has a day visitor pass, or if the minigolf course is available to play for non-residents too.

Captain Jack's Adventure Golf in Scarborough

New Adventure Golf course now open in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.


A new Adventure Golf course is now open in Scarborough, North Yorkshire

Captain Jack's Adventure Golf is now open next to the observation wheel in Scarborough's South Bay.

Visit Captain Jack's Adventure Golf website for more information.


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.

Scarborough

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.

Jolly Rodger Crazy Golf at Wonderland Telford

A look back at our visit to the Treasure Island Adventure Golf course at Wonderland Telford.


Adventure Golf at Wonderland Telford

We visited the 500th course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour while en route to Oswestry on Friday 13th July 2012.


Adventure Golf at Wonderland Telford

It was memorable for a number of reasons. As well as being a landmark course visit we clearly remember how bad the weather was on that day. It was tipping it down! We were the only people brave (foolish) enough to play the course. It was also one of the most unique layouts we've played as each of the holes had a different playing surface. Some were concrete, others had felt, others were wooden and some were a mixture!

Adventure Golf at Wonderland Telford
Watering Hole was an incredibly appropriate name for this hole!

Adventure Golf at Wonderland Telford
The obstacle and shape of this hole reminded us of some Swedish Felt Mini Golf courses. Except it had metal rails and a concrete base!

Adventure Golf at Wonderland Telford
That's a huge obstacle in the way!

You wouldn't want to over hit your shot into the end of this hole 

The Treasure Island Adventure Golf course at Wonderland Telford became the 300th course we managed to play on our travels.

Emily won our minigolf match-up on the 9-hole course with a score of 29 to my round of 30.
