Crazy Golf at Riverside Gardens in Maidenhead

A look at the Crazy Golf course at Riverside Gardens in Maidenhead, Berkshire.

We visited the Crazy Golf course at Riverside Gardens in Maidenhead, Berkshire on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in May 2009.

The 18-hole crazy golf course was similar to the 'Eternit' type of Miniature Golf. However, the concrete playing surface wasn't anywhere near as smooth as an official Eternit Miniature Golf layout.

Many thanks to our friend and minigolf rival James Trubridge for sending us these photos of the Miniature Golf course at Äventyrsgolfen Kärralund in Gothenburg, Sweden from he and his family's summer holiday in Sweden.

Happy National Cheese Day 2025

Today is National Cheese Day!

Did you know there's a minigolf obstacle called Käse? It can be found on Eternit Miniature Golf courses.

The Käse obstacle on the Kelsey Park Mini Golf course in Beckenham

The official name of the obstacle / lane is "Schrager kreis mit hindernis" (Oblique circle with obstacle). Sometimes the obstacle is "schrager kreis mit niere" (oblique circle with kidney).

Miniaturegolf / Miniaturgolf courses (also known as Eternit / Eternite) are a type of course made using a thin concrete material. Courses consist of 18 holes made from a selection of 28 standardised designs.

An official Schrager kreis mit hindernis - this was lane 15 at Tantogårdens Bangolf in Stockholm, Sweden

Checking in the Overview for Beginners to Miniaturgolf booklet, the Käse obstacle is "erstaunlicherweise eher im norden verbreitet" (surprisingly more common in the north of Germany).

We don't have too many Eternit Miniature Golf courses here in the UK and some of those that do exist have been modified over the years.

The Miniature Golf course at Cae Glas Park in Oswestry

We have played two Schrager kreis mit hindernis holes in the UK where the obstacle was Käse. One was at Cae Glas Park in Oswestry, Shropshire, the other was in Kelsey Park in Beckenham, Greater London.

My brother Christopher recently found this cheese obstacle on the 18-hole miniature golf course at Landal Het Vennenbos in the Netherlands.
