Lofty's Crazy Golf in Seaton Carew

A return visit to this lovely 9 hole course in Seaton Carew.  It was the second time we'd played this. The first time was back in 2022 and you can read our report here.

It's a smashing little course, very well kept and in a lovely spot by the sea.  Each hole is named after a local landmark. I love it when courses do this.

Neither of us were lucky enough to win a free game, sadly.

All in all, a great game. Sunny Jim Baz won with 25 and Flaming Nora 28.

Lofty's crazy golf at Seaton Carew

Tried a new course today: "Lofty's" on the seafront at Seaton Carew.   

It's not the first time we've played in Seaton Carew, you can read our blog post about the JD Golf Done mini golf here.

And what a little belter it is. It was a really busy little course, 9 holes with beautiful views out over the wide, sandy beach.

Each hole was inspired by a Hartlepool / Seaton Carew landmark such as the train station...

... the HMS Trincomalee ship, which you can view at Hartlepool Marina... 

...and the blue and white stripes of Hartlepool football club. 

We really enjoyed this course. It was fun, friendly and in a beautiful spot. Would highly recommend it.

At the end of the nine holes was a chance to win a free game. Sadly, neither of us won this time.

Scores today were Sunny Jim 29, Flaming Nora 33.  

However, Flaming Nora did get a hole-in-one and Sunny Jim didn't.  

Mind you, Flaming Nora did take 9 shots on one hole, that's why she didn't win. 

Never mind, there's always next time!

JD Golf Dome, Seaton Carew, Hartlepool

We took a trip to Seaton Carew on the Tees coast today. It's a seaside town that both of us had been to before, when we were kids, and we went back today for Glenda's birthday day out. Much fun was had including a chippy lunch in a great pub (The Marine Hotel) on the sea front and an ice-cream to follow, eaten by the magnificent, wide beach.

We also checked out the JD golf dome which we'd found about online.

It probably goes down as one of the most bizarre crazy golf experiences we've ever had - and we mean that in a good way, of course!

The golf dome is a short walk along the sea-front from central Seaton Carew. You can't miss it, it's huge. Inside, the crazy golf course, or golf trail as it's officially known, it was £4 each to play 10 holes.

The greenery isn't real, it's all plastic and the turf is artificial too. But it's a great surface to play on and being in the huge dome made the whole experience something very special indeed, if not a little odd. It was great fun with some tricky holes.

Each hole had two ways to play them - the easy way or the hard way, indicated by a yellow and blue dot at the start of each hole. 

We were also offered, when we went in, the choice of left or right handed clubs! This is something we've never been offered before, and was a first for us both.

All in all, a good game. The staff member was really friendly and helpful and there's a bar inside the dome too.

Final scores?  It was a rare win for Glenda with 31, Barry was on 33.
