Swing by Golfbaren minigolf in Stockholm, Sweden

Looking back at our visit to Swing by Golfbaren in Stockholm, Sweden.

We visited Swing by Golfbaren in Stockholm, Sweden back in February 2018 to celebrate the first birthday of the course. It doesn't seem like that long ago! It's a superb venue and still going strong. If you're in Stockport it's well worth a visit.

The indoor minigolf course and speakeasy was the landmark 800th course visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and our 31st overseas.

The course has a 1920's theme and is a truly unique layout.

There's an 'upstairs' 12-holes open for all to play, while hidden 'downstairs' are a further 6-holes which can be booked for private events.

Snowy minigolf

Is there any snow where you are?

The Eternit Miniature Golf course at Solna Bangolfklubb in Sweden

There's none in Stockport - we seem to have missed it so far.

Thankfully there are now plenty of indoor courses to get your minigolf fix while you wait for some sunny weather.

When our travels began in 2006 there were only two indoor minigolf courses in the UK. There are now around 100 indoor miniature golf courses.

In February 2018 we visited Sweden and managed to visit nine minigolf courses in 42 hours. A lot of those were covered in snow.
