Top Tips

  1. The rule of crazy garden golf is you can only hit the ball along the ground. This means you can hit golf balls in the back garden without breaking windows!
  2. Draw a map of the back garden and decide where to put the holes.
  3. You can use different kinds of balls. We used tennis rackets and camáns as golf clubs.
  4. Design your own holes. We designed a zig zag challenge, a see saw challenge and a slide and water hole.
  5. You can use things lying around to make the holes. A bucket or an old can work perfectly.
  6. Remember to test each hole to make sure you can get the ball in the hole. Then you are ready to play crazy golf in the back garden.
