Putting Greens at Southampton City Golf Course

A look at a pair of Putting Greens in Southampton.

Earlier this year we had a great time visiting Southampton.

It was the first time we'd visited the town and surrounding area and we were surprised to find a lot of miniature golf courses, including Adventure Golf and Crazy Golf layouts we were previously unaware of.

While driving to check out a Crazy Golf course at the Outdoor Sports Centre we found these two Putting Greens at the very well maintained Southampton City Golf Course.

East Park Mini Golf in Southampton

Playing the Mini Golf course at East Park in Southampton.

Our recent trip to Southampton saw us visit 18 more courses, playing eight of them. One of them was the Mini Golf course at East Park in Southampton city centre.

The long 18th hole

The 18-hole course at East Park was the 881st visited and 513th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. 

In our minigolf match on the East Park Mini Golf course I won by 20-shots(!) with a round of 45 to Emily's 65.

Visit the East Park website for more information, opening times and prices.















Prior to our trip we knew the minigolf course at East Park was there. Apart from that we weren't really expecting to do much minigolfing and certainly didn't expect to tick off another 18 courses!

When our travels began in September 2006 there were around 600 miniature golf courses in the UK. We've now reached 895 course visits, including 39 overseas.

Our recent trip to Southampton saw us visit 18 more courses, playing eight of them.

One of the courses we played was the 9-hole Crazy Golf course at the Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley, Southampton.

The course was the 879th visited and 512th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

I scored a 20 in my round on the Crazy Golf course - 2, 3, 4, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2 and 2.

Always nice to see Humpty on a course

As a bonus we also had a ride on the miniature railway in the busy country park.

Pitch & Putt course at the On The Water Cafe in Southampton

A visit to the Weston Shore Pitch & Putt course at the On The Water Cafe in Southampton.

On our way from Netley to Southampton we drove through Weston Shore and were surprised to see a sign for a Pitch & Putt course on Weston Parade. We had to stop for a look.

The Pitch & Putt course can be found at the On The Water Cafe.

It looked like a nice layout, but sadly we didn't have time for a round on this trip.

The Weston Shore Pitch & Putt course at the On The Water Cafe in Southampton became the 880th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Adventure Golf at Romsey Rapids Sports Complex in Southampton

The sports themed course has a podium on the 18th hole - a very nice touch

Our road-trip to Southampton and back saw us visit 18 more courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. One of them was the Adventure Golf course at Romsey Rapids Sports Complex in Southampton, Hampshire.

Lots of sports are on offer on the minigolf course!

The Adventure Golf course at Romsey Rapids Sports Complex was the 877th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Anyone for tennis?

Or a swim

Rugby too. Not sure if it's Union or League though

Bridge is a sport right?

Emily's at the cricket

Stumped how you'd get a hole-in-one on this hole

I wonder what the best score is on the Romsey Rapids Crazy Golf course
