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.

A look at some of our recent minigolf course visits.

We've just returned from a road-trip and visited several miniature golf courses along the way.

Southend Pier Crazy Golf

First up was a Mini Golf course at Horton's in Northampton. This indoor venue was spotted by our friend and minigolf rival Marc 'The Roller' Bazeley. Unfortunately we didn't get to play it as it wasn't open during our time in the town.

Next up was the Urban Street Golf course at Gravity Social at Sol Central in Northampton. We didn't play the course, but we did win the pub quiz at the venue that evening!
