Charter member of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour Christopher Gottfried has visited another minigolf course while on holiday, this time in the Netherlands.

While cycling he spotted the flags and sign for the 18-hole Midgetgolfbaan De Leeuwenkuil in Muiderberg.

You can find the 18-hole Midgetgolfbaan De Leeuwenkuil at Nienhuis Ruyskade 3, 1399 GR Muiderberg, Netherlands. The course opened in 1967! Visit the course website for more information.

Christopher has now visited 27 courses on his own branch of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. Emily and I have also visited eight of those courses, but 19 of the courses are from travels to other courses in the UK, Turkey, Majorca, Italy, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, France and Indonesia!

The combined total of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour is now at 909 courses visited!

Crazy Golf at Southampton Outdoor Sports Centre

A visit to the Crazy Golf course at the Outdoor Sports Centre in Southampton.

Our road-trip to Southampton saw us visit 18 more courses. One of which we found during a drive round.

We'd spotted a brown sign for the Southampton Municipal Golf course and went to check it out. While looking on the map Emily noticed that the golf course was next to the Outdoor Sports Centre and wouldn't you know it but there was the outline of a miniature golf course.

Sure enough we found a minigolf course in the grounds of the sports centre and it was surprising to see it was of the mini-Eternit Miniature Golf variety - a smaller version of a minigolf type more commonly found in continental Europe.

We've only seen one course like it before, at Sutton Farm Cheshire at Sutton Weaver Village near Runcorn, Cheshire. That course is located at what was once a Golf Driving Range but is now part of the farm and is being used as a dog training centre!

The Crazy Golf course at the Southampton Outdoor Sports Centre was the 872nd course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. Sadly we didn't have time to play it as we had to get to a wedding!

Minigolf courses at Solna Bangolfklubb in Sweden

A visit to the minigolf courses at Solna Bangolfklubb in Sweden.

In February last year we made a short trip to Stockholm, Sweden and managed to visit nine miniature golf courses in 42 hours.

Two of those courses were at Solna Bangolfklubb in Solna. The venue is home to two minigolf courses - an 'Eternit' Miniature Golf layout and a NIFO Steel Minigolf course.

There are two minigolf courses and a café at the club

What a hot dog!

The two minigolf courses at Solna Bangolfklubb were the 798th and 799th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and the 29th and 30th courses visited overseas.
