Crazy Golf on Sea Road in Felixstowe, Suffolk

A look back at the crazy golf course on Sea Road in Felixstowe, Suffolk.

Last week I asked the question "Where in the world was this crazy golf course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour?".

The answer was the crazy golf course on Sea Road in Felixstowe, Suffolk.

We first visited the 12-hole crazy golf course on Sea Road in Felixstowe on the 19th of November 2006.

We played it several times before parts of it (some of the holes and obstacles) were moved to the Ocean Boulevard minigolf course along the Seafront to make up an 8-hole crazy golf course in 2010. That course is now long gone too.
