Put simply, no.
It’s not the worst crazy golf I’ve ever done, but in the context of Europa’s very high standards it isn’t great.

That is surprising.
Wow. I envisaged an Alton Towers-eque themed course but 1000% times better. At least I've done my homework, Evening swim it is

I did the golf and it’s perfectly fine, it’s just themed to Wild West but it’s the same kind of course you could find anywhere really, nothing that special about it.

Perfectly fine is generous.
I provide a few examples below, and again for context, this is built by the World’s Best Theme Park.
Notice the poor layout of features. Here the loop is wildly misaligned with the starting point for the hole. If you’re advising by the rules which are set out on the scorecard, it’s nigh impossible to get your ball around the loop from this position:
You’ll notice in the picture above that the surface is strewn with bark from the landscaping. This is the same on every hole and often gets in the way of your ball. It’s seemingly just not being cleaned. Here’s another example:
As for the finishing, there are wires, ducts and unfinished electrics everywhere. It doesn’t look great, but for an area that’s got children everywhere - “won’t somebody please thing of the children…”
And finally, the positioning. It’s not too bad if you’re on the course playing golf, but if you’re trying to relax on your balcony I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be thrilled at one group after another traipsing past your balcony and bedroom window. You’re pretty much on the course:

Hi all, just after your experience and advice please! We are thinking of going to Europa next year but unfortunately it has to be in the summer school holidays. Does anyone know if there is likely to be a quieter time out of the 6-ish weeks we have here in the UK? I have read that end of August is likely to be slightly quieter but then I saw a comment about it being busier! I just want to try and make an informed decision before we book anything. Thanks

12 months ago I was in the same position. A crowd calender will help. You can even look at that site later this month to get an idea of live queue times.Hi all, just after your experience and advice please!

Thank you and have a great time! Be interested to know how busy it is for you this year12 months ago I was in the same position. A crowd calender will help. You can even look at that site later this month to get an idea of live queue times.
The advice I got off this forum was to give yourself plenty of days to enjoy everything.. We went with 4 days in park, 1 day in Rulantica. A few say 2-3 days for the park is ok. But we wanted to really take it in.Europa Park crowd calendar - July 2025
