Crazy golf at Scarborough North Bay Crazy golf is an enduringly popular game, forever associated with British seaside holidays. This rather dilapidated hut is at the start of a course sandwiched between the North Bay Miniature Railway and the beach. Apparently it hosted the Yorkshire Championship Crazy Golf competition, the winner scoring a very creditable 32. 'Can you do better?' the sign asks, to which the answer is 'no'.
