A look at the Crazy Golf course at Wythenshawe Park in Manchester.
Hole 4 of the 9-hole layout
We visited Wythenshawe Park over the border in Manchester for our daily outdoor exercise yesterday.
On the first course since before the Coronavirus pandemic hit
The 9-hole Crazy Golf course is the first previously played Crazy Golf location we've revisited during the coronavirus pandemic.
The 9-hole course
It was the first time we've been to Wythenshawe Park since we played the course on the 25th July 2009 when it became the 114th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
Bizarre really as technically it's our most local course!
We had asked a number of people if the course was still there since we moved to Stockport in 2016 but nobody knew anything about it, or said it was long gone.
So it was a nice surprise to see it was still there.
The park is also home to a Pitch & Putt miniature golf course. That became the first new course we've been to during the pandemic and the 949th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
The team at MiniLinks Golf organise a number of competitions throughout the year, including four Mini Majors.

The MiniLinks US Open golf trophy
My score of 67(+13) - recorded as a 65(+11) with the Beginner's Handicap taken into consideration - saw me finish in tied 13th place in the MiniLinks US Open tournament. A total of 43 players submitted their scores over the weekend, with the winner scoring a round of 48(-6).

It's not a flat layout! The flag and cup for this hole are on the other side of the hill
A long shot into the corner of the course
You have to putt through a hedge on this hole!
About to score a hole-in-one on the course
The course is nicely laid out and the hole configuration certainly keeps you on your toes
