A look at miniature golf courses in Greater Manchester.
There are a lot of options for minigolfing in Greater Manchester, with a variety of courses to play, ranging from traditional crazy golf to indoor minigolf to new adventure golf layouts.
We've been travelling to play minigolf in Manchester since 2009 when I won the Mini Masters and Mini Open at the Trafford Golf Centre. I also won the Chrizy Golf Masters at Piccadilly Place in 2012. We moved to Stockport in 2016 and have continued to compete in events. Emily is the reigning Paradise Island Adventure Golf Open champion, while I won the tournament in 2018. I also won the DinoFalls Masters at the Trafford Golf Centre last year.

Manchester will soon be home to a new minigolf course as Roxy Ball Room opens a new venue at the Arndale Centre this April.
ReplyDeleteWe swung by The Lost Valley Adventure Golf course at Amazonia in Bolton's Market Place shopping centre on Saturday afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI played the 18-hole indoor course back in December 2016. Time flies!

ReplyDeleteIt's another fairly local miniature golf layout for us to visit in the future.
Manor Park in Glossop has an outdoor crazy Golf course. Not been for a while but last time I went it was playable. No equipment hire tho so have to take one's own.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. There is indeed. The park has a nice miniature railway in it too.
ReplyDeleteAs you say it's worth taking your own putter and ball to have a game. It was very tricky, but fun, when we played there a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteIt's just occured to me that Glossop is Derbyshire, not Greater Manchester. oops. lol
I'd still count Glossop as just about GM. It's right on the border where we are in Stockport.
ReplyDeletePlus Glossop railway station is still part of GMPTE and unconnected to any other rail line in Derbyshire so the town should be fully adopted as Greater Manchester.
Hi Richard. I was back at Manor Park at the weekend and the course there is still playable. And rather enjoyable.
DeleteA mini-golf course is opening as part of the new Urban Playground at the Arndale centre in Manchester.
ReplyDeleteHere's a look at the minigolf courses in Manchester city centre.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. I need to get over to Glossop again.
