Crazy Boules in Shoreditch

There's a Crazy Boules pop up in Shoreditch, London this festive season.

Crazy Boules is a cross between Petanque and Crazy Golf!

The Crazy Boules pop up in Shoreditch is a six hole (or should that be piste?) course (or should that be terrain?).

The Crazy Boules pop-up will be open from Thursday 5th December and runs for eight weeks to Sunday 26th January 2025.

Check out the Crazy Boules website for more information.

Crazy Boules sounds like a lot of fun. We're big fans of Crazy Golf and Petanque, so it could be the perfect combination!

From a minigolf course to a hotel and drive-thru

The site of England's first-ever Crazy Golf course is in the process of being turned into a hotel and drive-thru.

The Original Crazy Golf course in Skegness (2015)

A new Travelodge hotel and Starbucks drive-thru are being built on the location of England's first Crazy Golf course.

The Original Crazy Golf course on South Parade in Skegness, Lincolnshire has been derelict since 2018, and work is progressing on the site with the new businesses set to open in 2025.

The Original Crazy Golf course in Skegness (2015)

England's first Crazy Golf opened on South Parade in Skegness in 1926 and the game has become widely known by that name in the UK. Crazy Golf is seldom, if ever, used overseas except in tourist spots popular with UK holidaymakers.

The Original Crazy Golf course in Skegness (2015)

In May 2015 The Original Crazy Golf became the 363rd course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

It's sad to hear about the loss of this piece of miniature golf history. I'm glad we got to visit the course when we did in 2011 and 2015.

We've also got some nice old postcards of the course in our collection, including this one when it was known as 'Craz-e-Golf'.

Skegness is home to several other minigolf courses. We've haven't been there since 2015, but did visit as many as we could the last time. At least one new adventure golf course has opened there since then.

We'll have to revisit and see what's changed...
