PeterJones Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Does anyone have any memory of the Arnold Palmer Putting Course that Sheffield once had? They're the crazy golf courses with obstacles such as windmills, rocketships and watermills usually painted in the original red-and-white, seen around the seaside. There were several built in major cities from 1965 into the '70s, which all seem to have been demolished. I've seen a few topics on this forum about crazy golf but I don't know whether it was at any of the locations mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know there was ever on in Sheff but the one in Cleethorpes is still there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quisquose Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Used to play the one at Bradway many years ago, and push our small friend through the cage to drop our golfballs into the hole on the 18th for a free game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fintious max Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yeah,I used to live near there - it was border of Greenhill and Bradway. Also had a 9 hole pitch and putt. Thinks there's just a driving range there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJones Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks for all the replies. I noticed from a post in another thread from 2004 that it was still there then, a bit neglected. Does anyone remember which obstacles it had? As MonkeyRocks said, Cleethorpes is still there. The majority that were at seaside resorts are still operating, and the one at Hastings hosts the World Crazy Golf Championships each October. Cleethorpes used the same scorecard as the one that was at Withernsea, and there's a postcard of that one here: That one has gone, along with others at Hornsea Pottery and at Scarborough, which I believe was on the site of a care home. I'm not sure about Bridlington. I was told that there wasn't one but I did notice another old post, from perplexed, who mentioned a course there with a windmill.
