Swing by Golfbaren minigolf in Stockholm, Sweden

Looking back at our visit to Swing by Golfbaren in Stockholm, Sweden.


Swing by Golfbaren minigolf in Stockholm, Sweden

We visited Swing by Golfbaren in Stockholm, Sweden back in February 2018 to celebrate the first birthday of the course. It doesn't seem like that long ago! It's a superb venue and still going strong. If you're in Stockport it's well worth a visit.

The course has a 1920's theme and is a truly unique layout.

The three 9-hole courses on the adventure through Mr Mulligans Space Golf started at the 'Inventors Hangar', then moved through the 'Cosmic Storm' and onto the 'Lunar Crash'.

The theming at the course was really well done, with my favourite section being the Moon.

Holey Molies Mini Golf in Skelton-in-Cleveland, near Saltburn-by-the-Sea

A look back at our visit to play the Holey Molies Crazy Golf course in Skelton-in-Cleveland.


Holey Molies Mini Golf in Skelton-in-Cleveland

In September 2018 we reached another BIG minigolf milestone as we played at our 500th miniature golf course since our travels began in September 2006.

Holey Molies Mini Golf in Skelton-in-Cleveland

The 18-hole indoor Mini Golf course at Holey Molies Leisure Complex in Skelton-in-Cleveland, Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire was the 845th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 807th in the British Isles.

It was brilliant to finally play the Holey Molies minigolf course as we'd heard so much about it since it opened.

Holey Molies Mini Golf in Skelton-in-Cleveland

One of the main things we'd heard was that the Mini Golf course at Holey Molies Leisure Complex boasted the 'World's Longest Mini Golf Hole' - measuring in at 264 feet!

Hole 1 - the 'longest minigolf hole in the world'. You had to start off upstairs, teeing-off up a ramp and then the ball is carried along the long viaduct before being deposited on the green

We'll need to revisit the course one day as it's undergone several updates and changes over the years. They also create a festive-theme for Christmas, that'd be fun to play.
