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.

Cardiff's Roath Park is now home to a Crazy Golf course.

The layout was spotted by multiple-time World Crazy Golf Champion Marc 'The Force' Chapman and his family on a recent visit to the city.

It's a fibreglass minigolf course, and has a Humpty obstacle.

We haven't been to Cardiff for a few years now, and we'll have to swing by the park next time we visit.

On holiday - two years ago today

Looking back at our holiday to Lytham St Annes two years ago.


We were on holiday on the Fylde Coast this time two years ago.

How times change.

Playing Crazy Golf at Haigh Woodland Park in Wigan

A visit to the Crazy Golf course at Haigh Woodland Park in Wigan.


Crazy Golf at Haigh Woodland Park in Wigan

On Saturday 8th April 2017 we headed to Haigh Woodland Park in Wigan to compete in the Great Northern Minigolf Open tournament played out on the two miniature golf courses in the park.


The second course played was the old Crazy Golf layout operated by the Friends of Haigh Country Park group.

At just £1 per game the course was the lowest price we'd ever found for an 18-hole course on our travels. Amazing value for money. We still haven't anywhere charging less than a quid.

Celebrating an ace on the labyrinth hole

The 18-holes are a real hotch potch as the courses has been added to and refurbished by different people and groups over the years. It certainly made for a fun and challenging round.

It was also nice to see a Humpty on the course.

Crazy Golf at Haigh Woodland Park in Wigan

The Haigh Woodland Park Crazy Golf course was the 728th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 701st in the UK. It became the 428th played on our travels since September 2006.

We've now been to 948 courses overall.

I'd first visited the Country Park back in December 2012 when the course was partially derelict.
