Swedish Felt Minigolf at the Askoe Wien Wasserpark in Vienna, Austria

A look at the Swedish Felt Minigolf course at the Askoe Wien Wasserpark in Vienna, Austria.

In March 2010 I visited the Askoe Wien Wasserpark in Vienna, Austria and got to play one of the toughest - and longest - Swedish Felt Minigolf courses in Europe.

The layout was the 163rd course played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Pit-Pat

The Askoe Wien Wasserpark was also the first place I spotted a Pit-Pat course (a cross between Billiards/Pool/Snooker and Minigolf!).

Minigolf Tag

On this day in 2013 it was Minigolf Tag (Minigolf Day) in Austria. The event was organised by the Austrian Minigolf Federation (Österreichischer Bahnengolf-Verband - OBGV).

Each year around 550,000 Austrians (15% of the country's population) play Miniature Golf.

It was an out-of-season visit so I didn't get to play the Miniature Golf course there

Minigolf Course Visit #210(a!?) - Vienna, Austria (Askoe Wien Wasserpark) - pit-pat "Hindernis Billards"!

The Askoe Wien Wasserpark is home to a pit-pat "Hindernis Billards"* course!

It looks like minigolf, on legs, played with cues!





I have heard there is a course in the UK - I will seek it out.
- Update: April 2014 - the course is in Littlehampton.

* "Obstacle Billiards"

Unfortunately on my trip to Vienna the 18-hole Eternit Miniature Golf course at the Askoe Wien Wasserpark was not open (as the minigolf season had not yet started).

Minigolf Course Played #163 - Vienna, Austria (Askoe Wien Wasserpark) - Swedish Felt

While in Vienna, Austria recently I had the chance to play the 18-hole Swedish Felt Minigolf course at the Askoe Wien Wasserpark.



An incredibly tough course, and the longest Swedish Felt course in Europe.
