Charity Crazy Golf course at Woburn Sands Emporium

A look back at our visit to the Charity Crazy Golf course at Woburn Sands Emporium in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.

Charity Crazy Golf at Woburn Sands Emporium

Last year we heard that the Woburn Sands Emporium garden centre was home to a Charity Crazy Golf course, so we had to head along for a game when next in the area.

It's always fun playing a minigolf course we didn't previously know about. And excellent when it's a unique layout.

The Crazy Golf course at Woburn Sands Emporium certainly was different, and it was fun to play the 7-hole course!

The Charity Crazy Golf at Woburn Sands Emporium was the 1,037th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

A combined 1,037 miniature golf courses visited

In our minigolf match I took the win with a score of 17 to Emily's 18. It had been close for the first six holes, with Emily ahead by one shot. But the final hole was a round wrecker and game killer. Emily played first and shot a 6, while I was able to hit a 4 and take the win.

Caddies Crazy Golf in Southend-on-Sea

Playing at Caddies Crazy Golf in Southend-on-Sea, Essex.

Caddies Crazy Golf is home to two 9-hole indoor courses.

Each has a distinct design and style, with one course using a fantasy minigolf style, while the other utilises Swedish Felt B-Run 'lanes' as the base for the course. It's a unique set-up and looks very nice.

The Blue course at Caddies Crazy Golf became the 1,020th visited (564th played) while the Red course was the 1,021st visited (565th played) on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Check out the Caddies Crazy Golf website for more information, opening times and prices. As well as the Southend venue you can also find Caddies Crazy Golf in Crawley.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

Arnold Palmer Mini Golf course in Southend

Here's a look at the Arnold Palmer Mini Golf course in Southend-on-Sea, Essex.

We revisited the 18-hole Arnold Palmer Mini Golf course on the Esplanade in Southend-on-Sea on our trip to the seaside town in April 2023.

The course was originally the 16th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in March 2007 and we've returned a number of times since then.

The layout at the site is the 'East course' and is one of what were two courses there. When we first visited the remains of the 'West course' could still be seen.

Southend Pier Crazy Golf

A visit to the Crazy Golf course at the end of Southend Pier.

We had a stroll along the pier while in Southend-on-Sea in April last year. As well as taking in the views and sea air, we wanted to take a look at the minigolf course at the end of it.

The Crazy Golf course on Southend Pier used to live on Boscombe Pier in Dorset! We didn't get a chance to visit it when it was there.

On our last visit to Southend in 2016 we played another course that used to be on the other side of the pier. The octopus on the current course used to be an obstacle on the old course.

The Southend Pier Crazy Golf course was the 1,022nd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
