Crazier Golf in Eastbourne - How the price works out in real terms
Brighton Tours, Tour Reviews

Crazier Golf in Eastbourne

15.Crazier Golf in Eastbourne

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 41 reviews · 45 minutes (approx.) · from $12Best value

Play one 9-hole round of Crazier Golf at Boom Battle Bar Eastbourne in about 45 minutes. Expect catapults, loops, conveyors, and a bar on site. Choose a weekday timeslot, bring friends or family, and note that the course may take some groups closer to 15 minutes.

“We tried the Crazier Golf experience — it was fun and different, but it only took my family about 15 minutes to complete. At £10 per person, it felt quite expensive for such a short activity. Also, the ball stays in the final hole, so you can’t play again. Overall, it was enjoyable but not really worth the price for the time spent.”
