Crazy Golf at Higher Bebington Park

The team at Love Bebington have started the refurbishment of the abandoned Crazy Golf course at Higher Bebington Park in Birkenhead.

We visited the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in July 2017.

Hole 3

The 15-hole course is a unique layout and we thought it looked like it'd be very interesting to play.

Good luck to the Love Bebington team with their efforts on the Crazy Golf course at Higher Bebington Park.

It'll be nice to revisit the course and actually have a game there in the future.


Check out the Love Bebington pages on Facebook and Instagram to follow the progress of the course refurb.

NO GOLF at Higher Bebington Recreation Ground on the Wirral

In July 2017 we went looking for a Crazy Golf course at Higher Bebington Recreation Ground on the Wirral. We found it, but unfortunately it was abandoned.

There was an interesting NO GOLF sign on one of the trees at the park.
