Crazy golf

Hole by hole, a touch of ambition, a great deal of laughter: crazy golf works for young and old and calls for no skill whatsoever. An easy, enjoyable afternoon for any group – from a first meeting to a family outing.

Why crazy golf suits almost any group

Hardly any activity bridges the generations as effortlessly as crazy golf. Children are in from the first moment, grandparents play along, and even on a first date the barrier is low, because you have something to do and the tricky holes get you chatting. Nobody has to be athletic, and chance sees to it that beginners win from time to time as well.

How to make an afternoon of it

At most courses you hire clubs and balls right at the entrance. A round of eighteen holes takes one to two hours depending on the size of the group. Keep a small scorecard if you like – but puzzling over the twisting holes together is fun without any competition at all.

Indoors or outdoors

In summer the classic outdoor course among the greenery beckons, often with a kiosk for an ice cream along the way. In bad weather there are indoor versions, some of them with black light and glowing holes – a small experience in its own right.

Tips for getting started

Play in small groups of three to five, then there is no queue at the holes.
Take the tricky holes with humour – frustration only sets in if you take yourself too seriously.
Outdoor courses are at their best on summer evenings, once the worst of the heat has passed.
A small prize for the winner or an ice cream for everyone turns the round into an occasion.
