Shed minigolf

Chatting with Andrew Wilcox of Readers Sheds and the Shed of the Year Awards I was reminded of this excellent shed-based crazy golf hole we played back in 2010.

Not only do you putt into a shed, but it's a musical obstacle too. Marvellous.

The garden crazy golf course in East Finchley was the 250th we visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We've now been to 956 courses since 2006.

I thought I was obsessive about something, but this fella Richard is crazy golf nutter putter - also probably the first shed I have seen used as a crazy golf hole and not the place where they give the clubs out from! #shedlove https://t.co/M323OjOUbX

It's National Gardening Week

Happy National Gardening Week.

To mark the occasion here's a look at a garden minigolf course in East Finchley, London.

The innovative back garden minigolf course was created by the team at UrbanCrazy

Garden Minigolf

A look at Putting at Home.

We visited our 250th minigolf course ten years ago and it was one of the most unique layouts we've played.

The first, and to date only, garden shed I've putted into

We've now been to 948 miniature golf courses since 2006.

The 9-hole minigolf course was tailor-made and features some challenging obstacles and changeable holes!

It was built so games can vary from round to round and range from a 6-hole to a 9-hole course.

In 2011 I was runner-up in the London Invitational Tournament held at the course.

The marvellous back garden minigolf course was designed and built by UrbanCrazy, a UK-based minigolf business that designs and builds permanent miniature golf courses, provides portable layouts, supplies equipment and more.

Are you putting at home during the lockdown and isolation of social distancing?

We've seen quite a few indoor and garden crazy golf courses created over the last few weeks.

Our friends Pat and Mandy at The Putting Penguin were quick to organise the Putting Penguin Pandemic Putt Off – a stay-at-home putting competition with entries being submitted from around the world.

Our pals Tom and Robin at A Couple of Putts have also been logging all manner of isolation minigolf courses on their social media.

We've got plans for some indoor minigolf layouts too. We've also got quite a few minigolf games in the Crazy Golf Museum.

While a lot of the minigolf world is out of action, plans are still being drawn up for new courses, work is ongoing to finish courses where permissible, and ideas formulated for when it's safe to get back out on the course. If you'd like to have a chat about minigolf, marketing, minigolf marketing, or competitive socialising please do get in touch.

UrbanCrazy Minigolf Course Party in East Finchley

Visiting the 250th course location on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour!
On Saturday 7th August 2010 Emily and I were guests of UrbanCrazy at the launch party of their latest minigolf course, at the home of their client in East Finchley, London.




The six-to-nine hole minigolf course is a course tailor-made for the customers and features some unique obstacles and some changeable holes! This means that it can vary from round to round and range from a six hole to a nine hole course!

In the practice rounds and various challenge matches against other guests my best score was 12(par). I also managed to Ace every hole bar the 1st and 5th. It's a tricky, interesting and visually pleasing minigolf course. The course was the 190th we have played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and is also the 250th overall course location visited in the four years of the Tour.
