Minigolf course visit 800!

We've reached another big minigolf milestone - the 800th course visit on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

This weekend we were in Stockholm, Sweden to visit our friend, and minigolf legend, Hans Olofsson and help celebrate the 1st anniversary of his 1920's themed indoor minigolf course and speakeasy at Swing by Golfbaren.

Swinging into action on the brilliant indoor minigolf course

The course is one of the best we've ever played, it's a real must-visit venue.

We loved the 1920's theme at Swing by Golfbaren and really enjoyed the big celebration party on Saturday night

Check out the Swing by Golfbaren website for more info.

We had a brilliant time in Stockholm and visited a total of nine courses in 36-hours! What a wonderful trip on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've got LOTS of great photos, videos and blog posts to follow from the trip.

Crazy Golf at Wellholme Park in Brighouse

Playing Crazy Golf at Wellholme Park in Brighouse, Yorkshire.

On Sunday 20th August we reached another milestone on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour as we played our 450th course.

On hole 4

Hole 2 was very tricky

The 9-hole Crazy Golf course at Wellholme Park in Brighouse, Yorkshire was the 762nd course visited overall since September 2006.

Another crazy golf course visited on our minigolfing adventures

Emily on hole 1

We had a fun round on the tricky little layout and in our match-up I picked up the win 19 to Emily's 25.

The slightly uphill 7th hole

The course was well maintained and you get a nice scorecard too. A game was just £2 per player.

Hole 2

The first tunnel was easy(ish), but getting the ball through both tunnels first time would take some effort!

A lovely last hole

For more information on the course and Wellholme Park in Brighouse visit the Calderdale Council website.

Emily playing the 8th

We liked the scorecard too. It's nice, big and colourful and contains some interesting rules i.e. a 10-shot limit per hole!

We've seen similar courses to the one at Wellholme Park in Wimbledon, Motspur Park, Wythenshawe and Tonbridge.

Throughout our travels we've found a number of courses to be unplayable for one reason or another. The reason for not playing the 761st course visited was quite strange indeed. More of that in this blog post.

Crazy Golf at Coate Water Country Park in Swindon

Playing Crazy Golf at the 750th course on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

On Friday 4th August we hit another big minigolf milestone as the 750th course was visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since our odyssey began back in September 2006.

At the 750th miniature golf course on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

The Crazy Golf course at Coate Water Country Park was in good condition and proving popular on my visit. It's an older style of course with nods to the continental European 'Beton' style of minigolf. The layout reminded me of the Crazy Golf course at Lister Gardens in Lyme Regis, with some very similar hole designs.

A look at holes 11-13 at Coate Water Country Park

In my round I scored a 48 - 21 out and 27 in. I was close to getting some holes-in-one too.

Holes 3-5 on the Crazy Golf course

After my fun round I had a go on the 9-hole Putting Green which was in excellent condition. I scored a 19.

On the green

A look at the Putting Green at Coate Water Country Park

I didn't have time to play the 18-hole Pitch & Putt course on this occasion, but it looked like a superb course.

Hole 1 on the Pitch & Putt

The 18-hole Crazy Golf course was £3 for a round, the Putting Green was £1 and the Pitch & Putt was £4. Great prices. Check out the Coate Water Country Park website for more information.

There's also a miniature railway at Coate Water Country Park. I didn't have time to see it this time, but look forward to having a go on it in the future.

On the 17th September last year we visited the 700th course on our travels at Vickersway Park in Northwich, Cheshire. 28 of the courses we've visited have been overseas and the 700th visited in the UK was at Haigh Woodland Park in Wigan back in April.
