We had a look for the Putting Green at Runcorn Hill Park in Runcorn, Cheshire on our way back from a day out at Chester Zoo yesterday. Unfortunately the course wasn't cut in.
Out of season
You could however still see some of the mounds and bumps of the greens of the layout.

It was still nice to have a wander around a different park, after having traipsed around the same parks and paths for more than a year.
Not a minigolf hole
But it looked a bit like one

We'll be heading back to Runcorn again in the future as we've never been to the town centre. We'll swing by Runcorn Hill Park again and see if the course is there next time.
We had a wander to the cliff
You get some superb views from the top of the Frog's Mouth Cliff!
Playing the Crazy Golf course at Sutton Weaver Village near Runcorn, Cheshire.
Over the years we've played some strange crazy golf courses in weird locations and in July 2017 we were able to add another oddity to our list as we played a round on the miniature golf course at Sutton Farm Cheshire in Sutton Weaver Village near Runcorn, Cheshire.
The course was a mini version of the eternit miniature golf type of course more commonly found in continental Europe.
The course was located at what was once a Golf Driving Range but had been added as part of the farm. The area was being used as a dog training centre while we were there!
Playing Crazy Golf at Sutton Weaver Village near Runcorn, Cheshire.
Over the years we've played some strange crazy golf courses in weird locations and on Saturday 22nd July we were able to add another oddity to our list as we played a round on the miniature golf course at Sutton Farm Cheshire. The farm is at Sutton Weaver Village near Runcorn, Cheshire.
What made the fun experience strange was that the course itself is located at what was once a Golf Driving Range but is now part of the farm and is being used as a dog training centre! Another first for us on our travels.
The course was the 439th we've played
When we arrived we thought the visit was going to be another to add to the 'unplayable' files, or worse the course may have been completely removed. We spotted three of the holes and then, through an archway in the tall hedge spotted other holes. As the course layout looked unlike anything we'd seen before we had to have a game on it. We spoke to the man there, Mike, who told us about the site and that we were welcome to have a game. After grabbing our sticks we jumped on the course for a very fun round of crazy golf.

The course itself is a miniature version of the 'eternit' format of the game. It's obviously seen better days, but was still quite playable.
