Messrs Garrett & Butler Host Crazy9
It all Started with a dream!
The idea of creating a mobile crazy golf course for weddings had been bouncing around Pete’s mind for years. But it wasn’t until a summer family party in 2017 that Crazy9 began to take shape. While chatting with his cousin, Pete shared his vision: a portable crazy golf course that could pop up at weddings and other events, anywhere, anytime. The enthusiastic response spurred him to take action, pouring time into sketches, research, and refining the concept.
By the following winter, Pete had secured a workshop in a historic cotton mill near Manchester. Designing and building the course turned out to be more technical than anticipated—mastering ball dynamics, crafting prototypes, and creating latex moulds for intricate details like the wedding cake obstacle. Even February’s freezing temperatures in the unheated mill couldn’t slow him down!
Nine unique bases were constructed, each paired with beautifully crafted features. Curved plywood was laminated to form smooth, hilly holes, and the entire course was designed to be both elegant and fun. Meanwhile, Philip added his creative flair, crafting eye-catching technological obstacles and even sewing vintage-inspired outfits for the team. After sifting through countless name ideas—like “Tweedle Tee” and “Who’s Your Caddy?”—Crazy9 was born.
With a strong desire to create the best wedding crazy golf hire experience, Pete and Philip tackled branding, marketing, and logistics. From designing websites to securing magazine features, their hard work paid off, bringing their vision of a high-end, mobile crazy golf experience to life.
