This doesn't look like the most comfortable bit of seating even at the best of times

We saw two other benches in the time of Coronavirus in Colne.

Tee Party Crazy Golf at The Club House in Manchester. July 2016

A look back at the Tee Party Crazy Golf course at The Club House in Spinningfields, Manchester.

It was the 684th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. Sadly I was in the city a day after the pop-up had closed so no clubs or balls were available. At least the holes were still there.

Time certainly flies!


Sadly we couldn't play the indoor Putting Green at the event.

Tee Party Crazy Golf in Manchester

One from the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour archives - Tee Party Crazy Golf at The Club House in Manchester.


Tee Party Crazy Golf at Spinningfields in Manchester

Three years ago we made the move up to Greater Manchester from Luton. Just after arriving I was in Manchester city centre and found a Crazy Golf course at Spinningfields.

Unfortunately I was one day too late to play it!

Luckily the holes were still in place, so I was able to at least look at them in the shopping and dining area.

The Spinningfields Tee Party Crazy Golf course became the 684th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006. We've now been to 911 courses.

Luckily since we've moved up here a number of new permanent minigolf courses have opened up in the city centre, including Junkyard Golf on First Street, Roxy Crazy Golf at Roxy Ball Room on Deansgate and Treetop Adventure Golf at The Printworks.

No Tee Party Crazy Golf for me at The Club House in Manchester

A visit to the Tee Party Crazy Golf at The Club House in Manchester.


I was recently in Manchester and headed along to the Spinningfields area of the city to check out the minigolf course that had been set up there.


Unfortunately the course had closed the day before so I couldn't play it.


Luckily the holes were still there so I had an interesting evening wander hunting out each of the holes that were spread out around the shopping and dining area.








The course became the 684th visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

Luckily earlier this year the team at the course had sent through some of the scorecards from the course to enter the archives of the Crazy Golf Museum.

Tee Party Crazy Golf at The Club House in Manchester

There's a tee party taking place in Manchester.

The team at The Club House at the Spinningfields shopping & dining quarter in Manchester have created a great looking Crazy Golf course to tee-off a great summer of sport. The Club House is a pop-up sports bar that'll be open in Hardman Square until the 31st August.

But if you want a game of Crazy Golf there you'll need to be quick as it closes at the end of June (after being extended from the original end date of May!). It's proven to be incredibly popular since it opened on the 14th April and looks like there'll be a lot more fun to be had on the layout in the coming weeks.

Hole 6 of the 9-hole Spinningfields Crazy Golf course

The unique holes - including a maze, football pitch and a domino layout - on the 9-hole course are dotted across the Spinningfields estate. The green fee is £5, and when your clubs and balls are returned you get £3 back. A bargain!

The course is open from 12pm to 8pm Wednesday to Sunday (and Bank Holidays).

We've always really enjoyed our trips to Manchester - back in 2009 I won the Mini Masters and Mini Open tournament there, and I also became the Chrizy Golf Champion there in 2012!

For more information on the Tee Party course check out the Spinningfields website.
