Minigolf Course Visit No. 149 - Cae Glas Park, Oswestry, England

After nine days in Wales we headed back into England to play the first English Minigolf course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour road trip since the Swedish Felt B-run courses in Oxford on the 13th August.

The 32nd minigolf course visit we made on the Tour was to Cae Glas Park in Oswestry, where we found an 18-hole Eternit Miniaturegolf course.

The 18th-hole didn't actually have a hole in the lane, instead you had to putt through a plant pot!?

    My fellow Minigolf Golf tourists Paul and Owen Johnson alerted me to a change in the Cae Glas Park minigolf course in Oswestry following another visit they made last week.

    The 18th hole is no longer a 'plant pot' but is now a very crazy wooden box tied down with string!? Photos by Paul Johnson below:

    This has got to be the wierdest hole (in both its past and present forms) in Minigolf!

    In July 2012 we re-visited Oswestry, Shropshire to take part in the 2012 Oswestry Games multi-sport event. The Cae Glas Park Minigolf course was one of the host venues for the Minigolf events.

    We also figured out that hole-18 used to be 'The Net' obstacle.

    The hole at Cae Glas Park currently looks like this. An example of 'The Net' on a course in Stockholm, Sweden can be seen here and here.
