Crazy golf has officially arrived to provide some summer entertainment on Ipswich’s Cornhill.
For those that fancy themselves a golfing master or have never teed off before, the town centre has been chosen to host the temporary attraction during this week.
The nine-hole crazy golf course is set up on the Cornhill from Monday, August 15, to Thursday, August 18, opening from 11am daily.

The attraction has been set up as a joint project and was created by Ipswich Borough Council and Ipswich Central.
The attraction is free and also does not require any booking.
The course has obstacles including a helter-skelter, lighthouse, ramps, and the classic windmill.
Chris Barnard, the head of place at Ipswich Central, said: “It is great to see the crazy golf arrive on the Cornhill today.

Ahead of the event, Councillor Sophie Connelly, Ipswich Borough Council portfolio holder for culture, encouraged those around the town to come down to the Cornhill and “have a go”.
She said: “I have seen many things on the Cornhill but I have not seen people playing golf.”
