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.
Being careful not to step on the lane
Over a bump
A dogleg
Through the gap
Through a zig-zag
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.
