A look at the miniature golf course in Vickersway Park, Northwich, Cheshire on Saturday 11th January 2020.


Putting Green at Vickersway Park in Northwich

While in Northwich on Saturday we had a walk along the riverside path to Vickersway Park. It's not far from the town centre and is worth a visit.

The park is home to a Crazy Golf course and a grass Putting layout.

The first unplayable course visit of the year.


Putting Green at the Park Square offices in Cheadle Heath

On New Year's Day we walked past the Miniature Golf course at the Park Square offices in Cheadle Heath, Stockport.

It's our nearest course. We've never been allowed to play it as it's for tenants of the offices only.

A look at the Putting Course at the Macdonald Elmers Court Hotel in Lymington, Hampshire.

While we were down in Lymington to play the New Forest Adventure Golf course at Lymington Golf Centre in May we popped over the road to the Macdonald Elmers Court Hotel and Resort as our friend and minigolf rival Ollie Florence had told us there was a Putting Course there.

A look at a pair of Putting Greens in Southampton.


Putting Green at Southampton City Golf Course

Earlier this year we had a great time visiting Southampton.


It was the first time we'd visited the town and surrounding area and we were surprised to find a lot of miniature golf courses, including Adventure Golf and Crazy Golf layouts we were previously unaware of.


Putting Green at Southampton City Golf Course

While driving to check out a Crazy Golf course at the Outdoor Sports Centre we found these two Putting Greens at the very well maintained Southampton City Golf Course.

Back in May 2009 we visited Gorleston-on-Sea in Norfolk for the first time and swung by the Putting Green on the seafront.

It was late in the day when we arrived at the course

When we returned to the seaside town in June 2010 we were able to play the nearby Pops Meadow Putting Green but didn't have time to revisit the Putting Green.


There was also a sign for the Bure Park Pitch & Putt at the Putting Green. That's a course we've got to check out the next time we're in the area.

Not playing the Putting Green at Allen House Grounds in Guildford, Surrey.


Allen House Grounds in Guildford

On a visit to Guildford, Surrey back in April 2012 my friend and minigolf rival Oliver 'The Machine' Florence competed in a number of sports and games. One of those wasn't playing Putting at Allen House Grounds as the course was not yet open for the season.

Putting Greens at Altrincham Golf Course

A look at the two Putting Greens at Altrincham Golf Course.


While in Altrincham back in March 2018 we swung by Altrincham Golf Course as we'd spotted the pub there while driving along the Stockport Road.

Altrincham Golf Course has two Putting Greens, a 6-hole and a 9-hole.

Putting course at the Boating Lake in Perranporth, Cornwall

A look back at our visit to the Putting course at the Boating Lake in Perranporth, Cornwall.


Putting course at the Boating Lake in Perranporth, Cornwall

During our summer holiday around the South West of England back in 2015 we visited 62 miniature golf courses on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Perranporth was one of the nicest seasides we've visited on our travels

One of those courses was the Putting Green at the Boating Lake in Perranporth Gardens, Cornwall.

The course was the 638th visited on our tour.

Fitting 62 course visits into two-weeks was a BIG task and it wasn't possible to stop at, or play all of the Mini, Crazy and Adventure Golf courses, or all the Putting Greens and Pitch & Putts we saw on the trip, or those we'd heard about beforehand.
