Playing at Sneaky Links Crazy Golf in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk

We recently played the Sneaky Links Crazy Golf course in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

We met up with our friends Lucy and Paul in Bury St Edmunds last Saturday evening and played a round at Sneaky Links Crazy Golf on Brentgovel Street in the town.

The squad

Emily and I have both previously swung by Sneaky Links Crazy Golf but either haven't had time, or weren't there when it was open, so this was the first chance we'd had for a game.

Yes, this is crazy golf!

Sneaky Links Crazy Golf was the 1,055th course visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and the landmark 1,000th we've been to in the British Isles! It was the 582nd course we've played.

Lucy playing hole 1 - it was a fun hole for some!

It's a unique indoor 9-hole crazy golf course and the layout is very tricky and frustrating in places!

Playing the 9th hole - where the championship title and bragging rights were still up for grabs

Our fun - and very competitive - minigolf match had some ups and downs for each player and it was Paul 'The Challenger' English who emerged as the victor with a round of 24 shots over the 9-holes.

Not too snookered

Emily and I tied for the runner-up spot having both scored 26 - I was happy with that after a disastrous 7 scored on hole 1!

Lucy 'The Blocker' Newton started her game the complete opposite of me, with an excellent hole-in-one on the first and ended with a round of 35.

Sneaky Links Crazy Golf in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk

Spotting signs for Sneaky Links Crazy Golf course in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

Emily swung by the Sneaky Links Crazy Golf in Bury St Edmunds on a flying visit to the town in June this year. We were recently back in the town visiting family and spotted some signs for the course while having a Bank Holiday wander.
