Southend Pier Crazy Golf

A visit to the Crazy Golf course at the end of Southend Pier.

We had a stroll along the pier while in Southend-on-Sea in April last year. As well as taking in the views and sea air, we wanted to take a look at the minigolf course at the end of it.

The Crazy Golf course on Southend Pier used to live on Boscombe Pier in Dorset! We didn't get a chance to visit it when it was there.

On our last visit to Southend in 2016 we played another course that used to be on the other side of the pier. The octopus on the current course used to be an obstacle on the old course.

The Southend Pier Crazy Golf course was the 1,022nd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Someone ignored the rules on the sign at Lost City Adventure Golf on Paignton Pier!

Jam is a big fan of Paignton and on an trip to the seaside resort earlier this year he saw the course under construction.

It's another new course for us to check out on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

My brother spotted a 9-hole Crazy Golf course on Paignton Pier back in October 2012.

We visited Paignton in 2015, but there wasn't a course there then.
