Manning's Amusements in Felixstowe, Suffolk is getting a new indoor crazy golf course.
Street Golf is planned to open at Easter 2025.
The existing Magical Golf FX course at Manning's Amusements closes for the final time today, Sunday 24th November 2024, after 25 years!
We're looking forward to checking out the new Street Golf course when it opens.
We've played crazy golf at Manning's Amusements in Felixstowe a lot over the years. The first time we played there was back on the 19th November 2006 when it became the fifth course we ever visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. It was also the first indoor minigolf course we played.

Back then it was one of only two indoor minigolf courses in the UK!
We've now been to 1,067 courses (1,009 in the British Isles) and there are a lot more indoor minigolf venues than there were in the mid-noughties.
The Golf FX course was a brilliant layout, with lots of optical illusions and practical effects. It was a unique course and ahead of its time with its sound and light effects. Very few courses have come close to capturing the fun of it.

Since our first visit the course has had a few upgrades, mild refurbishments and name changes - it was called 'Golf FX' when we first played and has been known as 'Magical Golf', 'Magical Golf FX' and 'Harry Putter and the Magical Crazy Golf'!

We hope the new Street Golf course being built at Manning's Amusements upgraded Leisureland at Beach Street is as good as, or better than, the course it's replacing.
Over the last few years the team at Manning's have transformed the amusements and leisure area to incorporate Beach Street - a container yard for dining, drinking and entertainment. You can get lovely sea views from some of the seating and we enjoyed meeting friends for tapas there on our last visit to Felixstowe.
