The Mount Olympus of crazy golf
Well, what a feast of entertainment we enjoyed on Saturday 7 July. The Crazy Golf Pro Championships on Selfridges rooftop was undoubtedly one of the most eccentric and enthralling events we have ever taken part in. Organised by Bompas & Parr and us here at UrbanCrazy, a field of 30 players made up of BMGA minigolf legends and wildcards competed to become the champion of this quirky minigolf tournament.

This crazy golf course is all Wight!
In this age of ‘staycations’, many British seaside towns are working to capitalise on our nation’s rediscovery of the UK’s beautiful and cherished coastline. And in a drive to boost tourism, the administration for one such seaside town, Sandown on the Isle Of Wight, commissioned UrbanCrazy to regenerate their crazy golf course – a course that has been in existence for close to half a century!

Don’t eat the obstacles
We’ve seen some really ‘crazy’ crazy golf courses in our time, but this one took the biscuit! Food architects Bompas and Parr created a 9-hole cake-themed course on the roof of Selfridges; with such superb obstacles and features in the shape of London’s most famous landmarks, its enough to make your legs turn to jelly. What a treat to go and play on this course – especially as we provided them with all the cups, putters and balls they required, putting the cherry on the cake of one of the most unique mini golf courses we have ever seen. For 10 points, how many puns have you seen in this first paragraph? Read more
A Parrott that was sick as one!
We were delighted to be asked back to The One Show studio, this time to convert one of our portable crazy golf courses into an ultra-long snooker ‘table’. But UrbanCrazy’s Entertainment Manager, Richard, was more excited than the rest of us. Why? Because he’s a snooker fanatic and jumped at the chance of meeting the 1991 World Snooker Champion, John Parrott MBE. Read more
The Emerald Isle(s)
When over 900 delegates turned up to the 2012 Teradata Universe conference in Dublin, they were faced with 7 very different types of ‘Emerald Isles’.
Guests, who had travelled from all over the world to attend the event at the Convention Centre in the heart of Dublin’s financial district, were entertained by UrbanCrazy’s new “Emerald Minigolf Course”. Each of the 7 holes was branded to promote sponsors. Read more

Future crazy golf superstars
It won’t come as a surprise to anyone that portable crazy golf is an excellent way to keep children of all ages entertained. UrbanCrazy was booked to provide one of the main sources of entertainment for the annual Easter Party at the Chelsea Design Centre – famous for also hosting London Design Week 2012.
Within minutes of the party starting, the kids ran to all four corners of the room to explore the activities that had been brought in for them. There was a pen with bunny rabbits and one-day old chicks, a party entertainer, lots of scrumptious food and drinks, an Easter Egg Hunt and of course, UrbanCrazy’s “Designer” crazy golf course.

Minigolf. The perfect cure for IBS!
Earlier this year, Suffolk-based creative agency Poulsen Selleck approached UrbanCrazy to create a 3-hole portable minigolf course on behalf of their client, Ipswich Building Society.
The requirement was for an exciting, attractive, themed course which IBS could take on the road during the summer months, for the public to sample at various community events. In between those events, some of the holes were to be stationed at their branches around Suffolk to give customers something to do whilst queuing for “cashier number four, please”! Read more
