PLANS to build a crazy golf course at a popular farm park have been given the green light.
Families will be able to enjoy a round of golf at the 18-hole course at Barleylands in Billericay.
Basildon Council has approved the plans on Tuesday.
The golf course will feature an array of animal themes including a huge Noah’s Ark built as part of one of the holes on the course.
It will see a jungle, desert, Antarctic, artic, and a farm yard zones all created.

The Noah’s Ark will see both an indoor hole, and part of the course on top.
Some of the holes include water features, an animal raft, an iceberg raft, waterfalls, and caves.
A council report reads: “The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. With the exception of external lighting which is specifically excluded, the development hereby permitted shall be carried out.
“All planting, seeding and turfing comprised in the approved details of landscaping shall be carried out in the first planting and seeding season.”
