Crazy Golf at Malkins Bank Golf Club in Sandbach, Cheshire

Playing the Crazy Golf course at Malkins Bank Golf Club in Betchton, Sandbach, Cheshire.

At our 888th miniature golf course visit since September 2006

We weren't expecting to visit any courses on our trip to Sandbach and Crewe on Saturday, but ended up visiting three!

The 9-hole Swedish Felt Crazy Golf course at Malkins Bank Golf Club in Betchton, Sandbach became the 888th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Visiting Bangolf Vasaparken in Vasastan, Stockholm

A visit to the Swedish Felt minigolf course at the Vasaparken in Vasastan, Stockholm.

In February last year we made a short trip to Stockholm, Sweden and managed to visit nine miniature golf courses in 42 hours.

At the fifth of nine minigolf courses we visited in Sweden

Bangolf Vasaparken in Vasastan, Stockholm became the 802nd course visited overall on our tour, and the 33rd overseas. It's a nice looking Swedish Felt minigolf course.

However, as it was out of season and very snowy we couldn't play it.

 

The course has a bit of a dubious claim to fame and I hadn't put two and two together until our friend Hans told us, but the course was the location of this infamous minigolf viral video!

During our trip to Sweden we made the BIG 800th course visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. That was at Swing by Golfbaren in Vasastan.

Crazy Golf in Maryport

Visiting the Crazy Golf course at the Lake District Coast Aquarium in Maryport.

On our big minigolf roadtrip to Scotland and back in 2012 we visited a lot of courses. One of those was the Swedish Felt B-Run type of Crazy Golf course at the Lake District Coast Aquarium in Maryport. Unfortunately we arrived ten minutes after it closed at 5pm so didn't get to play.

The sign for the course is made out of the 'green' of one of the holes - we hadn't seen that before, or since

The Maryport Crazy Golf course became the 469th course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when we visited on the 5th April 2012.

Hellas Mini Golf course in Lardos Village, Rhodes

Earlier this year my cousin Elaine and her family had a holiday in Rhodes, Greece and while there had a game of Crazy Golf on the 18-hole Hellas Mini Golf course in Lardos Village, near Lindos.

Hellas Mini Golf is an 18-hole Swedish Felt Miniature Golf course - one of the toughest types of course to master

In the Lindos Rhodes Minigolf Championship my cousin Ronnie won, with cousin Ronnie runner-up, Jamie 3rd and Elaine picking up the wooden spoon.

Minigolf in Sweden - Mariefred and Siggesta Gård, Värmdö near Stockholm

John Snelgrove has sent over some more great photos from two more miniature golf courses he's spotted from his travels in Sweden. Both are close to Stockholm.

The first minigolf course is in Mariefred. John tells me its a picturesque town on Lake Mälaren and in addition to the minigolf there is a miniature railway too. Sounds marvellous and it looks great there.

What a nice setting for a game of minigolf

The miniature railway looks great too

The course is a Swedish Felt type

The second course is in Siggesta Gård, on Värmdö and is more of a fantasy course compared to the Swedish Felt layout in Mariefred. It also looks brilliant and a course I'd definitely like a round or two on.

The course looks quite tricky, with some long holes

Quite a u-turn!

A fenced off feeding cow as an obstacle!

Followed by a GIANT teacup and saucer

Quite a normal hole after the teacup

The course looked like it was proving popular

A road bridge takes you to the green on this hole

A building you play into / out of!

Earlier this year John sent me some great snaps of the snow covered 'Bangolf' minigolf course at the Hellasgården in Nacka, Sweden and courses in Sandhamn and Sigtuna. It's always lovely to see different courses from around the world.

In 2011 Emily and I viisted Sweden to play for the Great Britain team in the WMF Nations Cup international tournament in Stockholm.
