5. Crazy Golf

Colourful, quirky, and just the right level of competitive, Crazy Golf is for anyone who loves a bit of banter with their putt.

Whether you’re on a casual outing or a cheeky team challenge, this course keeps everyone engaged without the pressure of a tournament. Bonus: it’s the kind of activity where accidental sand traps and quirky obstacles become the highlights of the day, not the disasters.
