We last visited Ambleside on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in April 2012 when the location was also home to a Putting layout. That has been replaced by Croquet.

The Pitch N Putt looks like a nice tricky layout and the views and location are very pleasant indeed.

Pitch & Putt at Woodheys Park in Sale

An unexpected miniature golf course visit.

We found another miniature golf course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour while driving to Altrincham this morning!

Pitch & Putt at Woodheys Park in Sale

We took a more scenic route than usual and while driving through Sale spotted a sign for the 18-hole Pitch & Putt course at Woodheys Park.

Naturally, we swung by for a look.

Pitch & Putt at Woodheys Park in Sale - looking quite autumnal already!

The 18-hole Pitch & Putt course at Woodheys Park in Sale became the 998th miniature golf course location visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

We wonder how many other minigolf layouts are lurking in Greater Manchester that we haven't been to yet?

Pitch & Putt at Marine Gardens in Fleetwood

A look at the Pitch & Putt miniature golf course at Marine Gardens in Fleetwood.

We took a look at the Pitch & Putt course at Marine Gardens on our recent trip to the seaside town.

The location is also home to a Crazy Golf course. And the remains of a Miniature Railway!

The Marine Gardens Crazy Golf course and part of the old miniature railway line

There also used to be a Crazy Golf course a stone's throw away at Marine Hall Gardens. We played that course in 2009. Sadly it was removed in 2012.

Old Miniature Railway at Marine Gardens in Fleetwood

There used to be a Miniature Railway at the Marine Gardens Pitch & Putt and Crazy Golf venue in Fleetwood.

We spotted the remains of a miniature railway while taking a walk round the Pitch & Putt and Crazy Golf course at Marine Gardens in Fleetwood.

You can still see - and walk through - the old miniature railway tunnel on the perimeter of the Pitch & Putt miniature golf course

Bruntwood Park Pitch & Putt in Cheadle

Our first miniature golf course visit of the year.

We had a walk round Bruntwood Park in Cheadle on New Year's Day and while there took a look at the Pitch & Putt course.

The layout was the second miniature golf course we visited, and 695th overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, when we moved to Cheadle Hulme back in 2016.

Visit the Bruntwood Park Pitch & Putt website for more information.

Social distancing minigolf

The Bruntwood Park Pitch & Putt course was the first place saw social distancing measures in place in person. That was in May last year.

A look back at 2020

The last course we swung by in 2020 was the grass Putting course at Park Square in Cheadle Heath on the 29th December.

Before the first national lockdown hit and our out-of-home putting was paused we'd visited 948 courses since September 2006.

We had a very strong start to the year and visited 20 courses in the first 20 days of 2020.

We were still able to visit a total of 46 courses in 2020, including revisits. 15 of them were new layouts to us. We've been able to visit eight courses during the pandemic (March to December 2020), playing two of them.

We've now been to a total of 956 courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Miniature Golf in Salford

Finding two minigolf courses in Salford.

We found two miniature golf courses by accident while out on our daily outdoor exercise yesterday afternoon!

Both layouts were in the City of Salford - one was a Putting Green at Victoria Park in Pendlebury, Swinton and the other was a Pitch & Putt course at Buile Hill Park in Salford.

Neither course was open

It's always nice to find minigolf courses we didn't previously know about. It was especially crazy as both are fairly close by!

We've now been to 954 courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.
