The Chrizy Golf Masters minigolf competition in Manchester

I won the Chrizy Golf Masters minigolf tournament in Manchester 13 years ago today!

The first - and to date only - Chrizy Golf Masters minigolf tournament was held on a festive-themed pop-up crazy golf course at Piccadilly Place in Manchester on the 30th November 2012.

The Chrizy Golf course was gone once the 2012 festive season was over and the building remained empty, or used for other pop-ups, until the team at Junkyard Golf made it their home for another minigolf course. That layout was there for a couple of years. They have since moved on and can be found at a permanent venue at First Street in the city.

The Chrizy Golf course was the 313th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We've now been to 1,111 courses since September 2006.

Scoring a hole-in-one on hole 8 of the pop-up Crazy Golf course

Christmas and Crazy Golf comes to Northwich

Christmas Crazy Golf in Northwich

We love Crazy Golf and Christmas, so what better way to spend the last day before the 'real' festive season tees-off than to have a game of Christmas-themed Crazy Golf.

A nice sign to see

Holes 2 and 3 of the set up outside the indoor market

Organised by Visit Northwich, this year's Christmas Extravaganza was held over two weekends in the Cheshire town as the weather was dreadful last weekend and put a halt to the Crazy Golf attraction among others.

The festive obstacle on hole 8

Emily playing hole 3

Luckily today was a lot more pleasant a day, and really quite warm for the time of year, so we headed over to Northwich for a game on the free-to-play pop-up minigolf layout.

Emily putting on the 9th hole

The course from Lancashire Crazy Golf is unusual as it's a 10-hole configuration rather than a 9 or 12-holer. We played our round as a 9-hole match as the 10th hole is quite different in the scoring method applied!

The rules of hole 10

As with most of our games it was very close, but a hole-in-one from me on the 8th hole secured a one-shot victory over Emily.

The Christmas-themed pop-up Crazy Golf course in Northwich was the 1,068th course we've visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and the 580th layout we've played on our travels.

The course was proving popular when we arrived around midday, but luckily the area housing the course had enough space for players to move around and skip any bottlenecks. And we managed to get some nice snaps of the course during some of the gaps in play.

Northwich is home to a pair of permanent miniature golf courses that we've visited several times on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. You can find a Crazy Golf course and Putting course at Vickersway Park next to the town centre. Both are worth a look, and the park is a very pleasant spot.
