Crazy Golf in Church Stretton, Shropshire

A look back at our visit to the crazy golf course in Church Stretton, Shropshire.

We visited Church Stretton while en route to Wales in August 2019. While there we swung by the 9-hole crazy golf course in the main town park.

There are quite a few activities to do in Church Stretton Park

Here's a full list of games and prices (as at 2019)

A nice sign at the course

The 9-hole course was the 913th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

It looked like an interesting layout and one we'd liked to have played if it was open.

A view of a couple of holes

It appeared to be a mixture of 'Eternit' miniature golf and 'Beton' concrete styles, types more commonly found in continental Europe.

Hole 9 - I bet that concrete block can collect a lot of minigolf balls!

Minigolf at the Askoe Wien Wasserpark in Vienna, Austria

A look back to my visit to the Swedish Felt Minigolf course at the Askoe Wien Wasserpark in Vienna, Austria.

I visited the Askoe Wien Wasserpark in Vienna, Austria in March 2010 and got to play one of the toughest - and longest - Swedish Felt Minigolf courses in Europe.

The layout was the 163rd course played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The Askoe Wien Wasserpark was also the first place I spotted a Pit-Pat course (a cross between Billiards/Pool/Snooker and Minigolf).

The club is also home to an 'Eternit' miniature golf course.

It was an out-of-season visit so I didn't get to play the miniature golf course there

Crazy Golf at Riverside Gardens in Maidenhead

A look at the Crazy Golf course at Riverside Gardens in Maidenhead, Berkshire.

We visited the Crazy Golf course at Riverside Gardens in Maidenhead, Berkshire on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in May 2009.

The 18-hole crazy golf course was similar to the 'Eternit' type of Miniature Golf. However, the concrete playing surface wasn't anywhere near as smooth as an official Eternit Miniature Golf layout.

Tee Off Mr Bean.

The crazy golf course at Riverside Gardens in Maidenhead was made famous in the classic episode of Mr Bean - 'Tee Off Mr Bean' - which was filmed at the location!

Playing the course.

No cups on this hole!?
