Many thanks to our friend and minigolf rival James Trubridge for sending us these photos of the Mini Golf course on Vrångö, in the Gothenburg Archipelago, Sweden from he and his family's summer holiday in Sweden.

It's superb to see different miniature golf courses around the world.

Birdie Barn Putting Range opening on Mersea Island in Essex

A new pop-up indoor minigolf venue is opening on Mersea Island in Essex this summer.

Birdie Barn Putting Range is opening at the West Mersea Marine Boatyard on Thursday 24th July.

Looking on the Birdie Barn Putting Range Facebook Page the course looks very different to your normal minigolf (if there's such a thing as 'normal' in crazy golf!).

Each of the holes looks to be is in it's own little enclosed bay, with putters tied to the range. Each of the holes has a themed obstacle such as pinball, skee ball, roulette, a ferris wheel, pong and more!

Find out more

Visit the Birdie Barn Putting Range Facebook Page for more information.

Other minigolf courses on the Isle of Wight

We've been to the Isle of Wight a few times over the years and have also played the Mini Golf Garden at Puckpool Park and the Pirate Adventure Golf at Peter Pan's on Esplanade in Ryde.

Other minigolf courses on the Isle of Wight include:

Lost minigolf courses on the Isle of Wight

There used to be another adventure golf course in Shanklin too - Jungle Jim's - but that closed a few years ago.

Some of the courses that are on the Isle of Wight now have been built on top of older courses or have totally replaced grass Putting courses that were there before.

It's certainly interesting seeing the changes and developments on the island.

The Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

We've now been to a total of 965 courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

Prison Mini Golf in the Faroe Islands

A look at a very unusual miniature golf course in the Faroe Islands.

A big thank you to my friend, minigolf rival and team-mate Kevin Moseley for sending me these snaps of a remarkable minigolf course he spotted in the Faroe Islands.

Faroe Islands prison minigolf - there's a caption I never thought I'd write when I started blogging in 2006!

The layout is a 6-hole minigolf course at the prison, located in an area called Mjørkadalur on the largest island of Streymoy.

A closer look at the course

The prison holds 12 inmates so the course is unlikely to ever get crowded. Prisoners who are held for more than a year and a half are sent to prisons in Denmark.

I had a look online and the Faroe Islands are home to a couple of other minigolf courses should you be visiting. Layouts can be found at Hotel Vágar and at Eioi Camping.

The Faroe Islands prison minigolf course is definitely one of the more unusual we've seen or heard about. And that includes the course we played with no cups to putt into and Kim Jong Un's Miniature Golf course in Pyongyang, North Korea!

Where's the craziest place you've played minigolf? Do let us know.
