Top Mini Golf & Crazy Golf Locations in Great Yarmouth

Here's a rundown of some of the best places to test your putting skills:

  • Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf: Situated right on the seafront, near the Pleasure Beach, Pirate's Cove offers an immersive adventure golf experience. Navigate through pirate ships, waterfalls, and caves as you try to conquer the 18-hole course. It's a bit of a walk (around 8 minutes) from St George Hotel, but well worth it for the detailed theming.
  • Lost World Adventure Golf: Another popular choice on the seafront, Lost World features dinosaur-themed obstacles and challenging holes. It's perfect for younger children who love all things prehistoric. This is also near the Pleasure Beach, so consider combining mini golf with a thrilling ride or two.
  • Wellington Pier Amusements: Wellington Pier itself houses a traditional crazy golf course within its amusement arcade. While perhaps not as elaborately themed as the adventure golf courses, it offers a classic seaside crazy golf experience with windmills and other familiar obstacles. Plus, it's right across the road from St George Hotel, making it incredibly convenient!
  • Joyland Fantasy Gardens: While primarily known for its unique rides, Joyland also boasts a small crazy golf course that's perfect for younger children. The course is located within the charming fantasy gardens, adding to the whimsical atmosphere. Joyland is a short walk from the hotel.

Tips for a Great Mini Golf Experience

  • Check the weather: Mini golf is an outdoor activity, so be sure to check the weather forecast before heading out. Sunscreen and hats are essential on sunny days, while a light jacket might be needed on cooler days.
  • Consider the time of day: The seafront can get busy, especially during peak season. Consider playing mini golf earlier in the day or later in the afternoon to avoid the crowds.
  • Bring your camera: Mini golf courses offer plenty of photo opportunities. Capture those fun moments with family and friends as you navigate the quirky obstacles.
  • Book in advance (optional): While not always necessary, booking your tee time in advance, especially for the adventure golf courses, can guarantee your spot and save you time. Check the individual course's website for booking information.
  • Embrace the silliness: Mini golf is all about having fun! Don't take it too seriously and embrace the silly obstacles and unpredictable bounces.
