Golfbaren Bangolf in Kristineberg and Hägersten

Visiting the Golfbaren minigolf courses in Kristineberg and Aspudden.


Last February we headed to Sweden for a mini-minigolfing trip to celebrate the first anniversary of the opening of the excellent Swing by Golfbaren indoor miniature golf course and speakeasy run by our friend and minigolf rival Hans Olofsson.

While in Sweden we managed to visit nine courses in 42 hours. The visit to Swing by Golfbaren was also the 800th course visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Before we left Hans gave us a tour of two of the other courses he owns. Both are outdoor layouts in the Stockholm suburbs - one in Kristineberg and another in Hägersten.

Even though the courses were covered in snow it was was brilliant to see the locations and explore outside of the city centre.

One of those was the Sports World Mini Golf course at O'Leary's bar, restaurant and entertainment centre in the Mall of Scandinavia.

It's a nice indoor venue where each hole is themed on a different sport.
