Playing the Crazy Golf course at Malkins Bank Golf Club in Betchton, Sandbach, Cheshire.

Last weekend we visited three miniature golf courses, the first of which was the 9-hole Swedish Felt Crazy Golf course at Malkins Bank Golf Club in Betchton, Sandbach.

The course became the 518th course played and 888th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

In our minigolf match-up Emily took the win with a score of 21 to my 22.

We enjoyed playing the course, and while it could've done with a bit of a sweep (much of the course is underneath some trees), we couldn't grumble as it was FREE to play!

It'd be nice to spend a bit more time playing the course as there were definitely some hole-in-one opportunities on the layout.

It was interesting to see the course as it was a mixture of the Swedish Felt format of miniature golf with fibreglass Crazy Golf obstacles.

There was also a nice looking Putting Green at Malkins Bank Golf Club, but we didn't have time for a go on it. The green closest to the Crazy Golf course looked great too.

When we decided to have a day out in Crewe we hadn't expected to play any courses, but Emily had spotted a Mini Golf course at Queens Park in Crewe and then I found out about the course at Malkins Bank Golf Club in a follow-up search!

-----------------------------------------------

When our travels began in September 2006 there were around 600 miniature golf courses in the UK. We've now reached 890 course visits, including 39 overseas.

Do you know of any new courses opening up in your area?

Do you know of an existing or old course that we haven't yet visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour?

Are you planning to open a course?

Then do get in touch and let us know. We'd love to visit and play the course, or advise on your plans.
