Rhos on Sea Crazy Golf, North Wales

While on holiday in Llandudno North Wales we took the number 12 bus to Colwyn Bay then walked along the coast to Rhos on Sea. 


It's a small, charming resort with a crazy golf course. 

How could we not stop to play?

The course had nine holes and was relatively easy. 

The course wasn't very well maintained however and could have done with some TLC.  

However we still enjoyed playing here.  It was old fashioned fun.


Some of the holes on the course had two possible holes to score in, something we'd never seen before.  

The score card...


Flaming Nora won this game by 1 point. Final scores were Sunny Jim 34 and Flaming Nora 33.

Enjoyment factor 8/10.

Rocky Pines, Llandudno

On holiday in beautiful Llandudno in North Wales and we took a trip by tramway to the summit of Great Orme where there is an 18 hole crazy golf course.


There's also a cafe and a shop at the summit and some stunning views in all directions.


This might be the highest crazy golf course we've played, or could that have been a course up a mountain in Tenerife? You can read our report on the Tenerife course at:

We certainly enjoyed the Llandudno course. 


It was quirky. 

The holes were challenging too, and meant that queues built up while waiting for the groups in front to finish their turn. 

This caused a few laughs and good camaraderie on the course... always good fun.


It looks deceptively simple on our pictures but it was challenging because some of the holes were on steep slopes.


The price was £5 per person, as at June 2024, which was good value for 18 holes and in such a fantastic location. 


Definitely worth making the tram ride up the Great Orme to play a round, see the views and enjoy coffee and Welsh cakes in the cafe.


Sunny Jim won by 1 point.

Final (very high because of such a tricky course!) scores were Sunny Jim 78, Flaming Nora 79.

Enjoyment 10/10. We loved it.

Treasure Island Mini Golf, Bridlington (again)



Off to Bridlington for a long weekend as Flaming Nora was working there at Bridlington library, giving a talk and then a book signing at The Book Nook bookshop in the Old Town. If you're ever in Bridlington, do visit the Old Town, it's stunning and just a short walk from the seafront.

We've played Treasure Island Mini Golf in Bridlington before in 2018, and you can read our first review here.

Happy to report that not much has changed since our last visit. It's still indoors (yippee for somewhere to go when it rains, which it was when we visited!).  It's £6 each for a round and well worth a visit. It's a fun course which had us chuckling.


Scores were Sunny Jim beating Flaming Nora by 3 points.  A good time was had by all.
