Mini Golf in Windsor

On Saturday 2 May we had a nice day out in Windsor. On our last visit to the town in May 2009 Emily and I played the Eternit-style Miniature Golf courses in the park. Last June I was flying solo and played a round on the new Adventure Golf course.





The 18-hole course can be found in Alexandra Park and is good fun. It's £5.50 a round for adults and £4.50 for children and senior citizens.

I scored 40(+4) this time.

Windsor Adventure Golf

Playing the 18-hole Adventure Golf course at Alexandra Gardens in Windsor, Berkshire.

On Saturday 21st of June 2014 I revisited Windsor for the first time since May 2009. On our last visit we’d played the Eternit-style Miniature Golf courses in the park operated by Extreme Motion.

Since that Crazy World of Minigolf Tour trip the team at Extreme Motion has removed the flat concrete courses and replaced it with a larger 18-hole Adventure Golf course – notable for the castle tower, a nod to Windsor Castle itself.

Hole 11 is the tower hole - a good hole-in-one opportunity if you hit the ball into the hole at the top of the hill. I scored a 3

The new course in Windsor was the 562nd visited and 338th played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

I had an enjoyable round on the pleasing to the eye and high quality course. The surroundings are pleasant and the course is in a good spot in the park.

Windsor's Adventure Golf course

I shot a round of 37(+1), scoring two holes-in-one. A lot of the holes appeared to be very aceable. All in all it was a nice morning in the historic town.

I’m looking forward to heading back Windsor and the course again, with Emily this time. The course was very playable and is worth a visit and a play.

It costs £5.50 per adult for an 18-hole round, with children (under-14's) and senior citizens charged £4.50 a round.

When I arrived in Windsor I was an hour too early to play the Alexandra Gardens Adventure Golf course so I headed into the town for a few hours followed by a nice riverside stroll in the lovely weather before I had my round of Minigolf

The course itself and the equipment (balls and putters) are well maintained and you get a good quality scorecard to mark your round.

The 18th hole

Extreme Motion in Windsor’s Alexandra Gardens is open from 10am everyday and as well as the Mini-Golf course there are a number of children's fairground rides available, along with a bungee trampoline, zorb balls and cycle hire. Plus ice creams and other refreshments from the kiosk on-site.

Crazy Golf at Riverside Gardens in Maidenhead

On Saturday 30th May 2009 we played the Crazy Golf course at Riverside Gardens in Maidenhead. The course became the 97th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.



The 18-hole minigolf course is very similar to the 'Eternit' type of Miniature Golf. However, the concrete playing surface wasn't as smooth as an official Eternit layout.

An interesting bit of minigolf trivia: the course features in the classic Mr Bean episode Tee Off Mr Bean!

But where's the cup!?
