Benches at Vickersway Park in Northwich

A look at the variety of benches at Vickersway Park in Northwich, Cheshire.


On Saturday we revisited Vickersway Park in Northwich to have a look at the Crazy Golf course and Putting Green there.

There are plenty of different benches in the park to have a rest on between walking, exercising and playing miniature golf.

The bench looked different on our last visit in September 2016

Northwich town centre is an interesting place to visit and we found out about the salt mining history of the area - and the problems the town has suffered over the years because of it.

There are plenty of benches around the town to have a nice sit down on between wandering.

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.

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 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.

Southwold Putting Championship 2019

The Southwold Putting Championship takes place this Sunday.


Southwold Putting course
A lovely spot for some miniature golf

Good luck to all of the players in the Annual Southwold Putting Championship taking place in the Suffolk seaside town on Sunday 27th October.


The Southwold Putting course was the 478th played and 811th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in May last year.


Southwold Putting course
I managed to score aces on the 7th and 11th holes. It's always nice to score holes-in-one on grass Putting courses

It's a lovely setting and a really good grass putting layout.


On our visit I shot a 41, the the low round of the week.

Southwold Putting course
The course was a good test of putting skill

The course is well worth a visit. If you gain the lowest score of the week or season you earn yourself a spot in the annual tournament. You can also buy into the two-round competition with a £5 charity donation at the course.

Visit the Southwold Putting & Cafe on the Green on Facebook for more information.

Putting Green in Gorleston-on-Sea

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.
