Crazy Golf at Southport's Botanic Gardens

Playing the Crazy Golf course at the Botanic Gardens in Southport.

We played a round on the Crazy Golf course at Southport's Botanic Gardens to celebrate Miniature Golf Day last Saturday.

We'd first visited the course in November 2016 when it became the 717th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. As it was out of season we didn't get a game on it that time.


The weather was brilliant on Saturday and luckily the course was open so it became the 528th played on our travels.

In our round on the 9-hole course Emily won with a score of 18 - a perfect par of all twos. I shot a 20, including one hole-in-one. Our friend Cat scored 27.

We've now visited 925 courses since September 2006. Five of those have been in Southport.


The Botanic Gardens Crazy Golf course is the sister course to the one in the town's Hesketh Park. We first visited that course in September 2009 and finally played it in October 2016.


We really enjoyed our visit to the Botanic Gardens and the Crazy Golf course. They are worth a visit if you're in town.

Mini Golf Putting Course at Rhyl's Botanical Gardens

A visit to the Mini Golf Putting Course at Rhyl Botanical Gardens.

Last September we visited the Botanical Gardens in Rhyl to have a look for the grass Putting Green.

Our friend and minigolf rival Peter Jones had let us know of the course's existence. We'd been to Rhyl a number of times over the years, but had never been to the Botanical Gardens as it's a bit of a drive from the seafront.

Sadly the course wasn't open when we visited.

The Mini Golf Putting Course in Rhyl's Botanical Gardens became the 839th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Botanic Gardens Crazy Golf in Southport

A visit to the Crazy Golf course in Southport's Botanic Gardens.


The last time we arrived home from Southport we noticed that we'd missed out on visiting another Crazy Golf course. The layout is in the Botanic Gardens and is the sister site to the course in Hesketh Park and they do look very much alike.

Unfortunately we weren't able to have a game on the course as it was closed for the season.

The Lucky Last Hole. I won a free game card when I played at Hesketh Park. It's valid at the Botanic Gardens course too

The Botanic Gardens Crazy Golf course was the 717th course we've visited overall and the 691st visited in the UK.

We very much enjoyed our stroll around the Botanic Gardens and lake. There was lots of wildlife and some hidden tunnels dotted around too. It's well worth a visit.

A Miniature Train Ride was also mentioned on the signs in the park. We couldn't see it though
