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.

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!

- Update: April 2014 - the course is in Littlehampton.

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).

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