The Mini Masters miniature golf tournament in Manchester

Looking back at the 'Mini Masters' miniature golf tournament in Manchester.

I won the Mini Masters miniature golf tournament in Manchester back on the 11th April 2009. Time certainly flies!

Mini Master

The Mini Masters was the first of two tournaments I won on the 9-hole Championship Miniature Golf course at what was then Playgolf Manchester. The second event being the Miniature Open in July 2009.

Lining up a big minigolf win

I won the Mini Masters with a three round total of 81 (-24) after scoring 26, 27, and 28.

A long tee-shot over and past several obstacles!

The course was the 84th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. Back then the course wasn't one of our local layouts as we still lived in Luton, Bedfordshire and travelled up for the events.

The Championship Miniature Golf course is no longer at the centre, but you can find an expanded Championship Miniature Golf layout with two 18-hole courses in New Brighton. We've played both layouts there.

The location is no longer a Playgolf venue either. It's now known as the Trafford Golf Centre and is home to two 18-hole dinosaur adventure golf courses. I won the Dino Falls Masters Adventure Golf competition there in 2018 too!

Visit the Trafford Golf Centre website for more information.

I competed in the first-ever Dino Falls Masters Adventure Golf competition at the Trafford Golf Centre in Manchester on the 6th April 2018 - and won it!

The event saw hundreds of players compete.

The venue has been a good spot for me and our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, as I also won the Mini Masters and Mini Open there in 2009, as well as a Midlands Minigolf Club Invitational Tournament, also in April 2008.

The Trafford Golf Centre is home to two 18-hole adventure golf courses. Check out Trafford Golf Centre and Dino Falls Adventure Golf websites for more information on the courses.

Winning the DinoFalls Adventure Golf Masters

Looking back at the 2018 DinoFalls Adventure Golf Masters.

I won the DinoFalls Adventure Golf Masters competition at the Trafford Golf Centre in Manchester back in April 2018 - where has the time gone since then!

The DinoFalls Adventure Golf course was an 18-hole layout when we played the event and has since been joined by another 18-hole course, that one has a volcano theme. The venue is an eye-catching sight from the M60.

I've won four tournaments at the Trafford Golf Centre. In addition to the DinoFalls Masters and the MMGC Invitational I won in 2018, I won the 2009 Mini Masters and Mini Open on the 9-hole Championship Miniature Golf course which used to be at the centre.

In second place with a score of 86 (-19) was the then current BMGA British Number One Chris Harding. Paul Johnson was third with 87 (-18).

A large water hazard on the course!

Winning the DinoFalls Adventure Golf Masters in Manchester

Looking back at the 2018 DinoFalls Adventure Golf Masters.

Two years ago today I won the DinoFalls Adventure Golf Masters competition at the Trafford Golf Centre in Manchester.

The 18-hole DinoFalls Adventure Golf course is a nice layout and is an eye-catching sight from the M60. It's recently been joined by another 18-hole course, that one has a volcano theme.

I've won four tournaments at the Trafford Golf Centre site. In addition to the DinoFalls Masters and the MMGC Invitational I won the 2009 Mini Masters and Mini Open on the 9-hole Championship Miniature Golf course which used to be at the venue. That course was the 84th played on our tour.

Dino Falls Adventure Golf Volcano course

Last night we played the brand new Dino Falls Adventure Golf Volcano course at the Trafford Golf Centre.

Emily playing hole 13

On a very cold but dry night we played a round on the new 18-hole adventure golf course that has been built around the existing and very popular Dino Falls Adventure Golf course at the golf centre in Manchester's Trafford City area.

The original layout has now been named the Rapids course.

Playing hole 16

In our round I managed to grab the win with a score of 43 while Emily hit a 46. We both hit a hole-in-one during our game. The best score of the day and course record was a 42.

The safest place to stand is under an erupting volcano right?

We've been playing minigolf at the Trafford Golf Centre since 2009. Back then we used to travel up to the venue for tournaments I won on the old 9-hole Championship Miniature Golf course. Last year I won the Dino Falls Masters competition on the Rapids course.

Inside the volcano

The new Dino Falls Adventure Golf Volcano course at the Trafford Golf Centre was the 901st course we've been to in the British Isles and the 940th we've visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since 2006.

The Trafford Golf Centre in Manchester has a nice looking Putting area.

It's next to the two 18-hole Adventure Golf courses.

Volcano Adventure Golf at the Trafford Golf Centre

The new Volcano Adventure Golf course at the Trafford Golf Centre in Manchester opens next month.

Work is almost complete on the new 18-hole Adventure Golf course at the Trafford Golf Centre in Manchester.

The Volcano Adventure Golf layout opens on Tuesday 17th December and joins the Dino Falls Adventure Golf course at the centre.

We're looking forward to checking out the new Volcano Adventure Golf course when it opens in December.

Visit the Dino Falls Adventure Golf website for more information.

The existing 18-hole dinosaur-themed course opened at the Trafford Golf Centre in November 2017 and has proved to be incredibly popular.

It was the 476th course played and 792nd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Last April 2018 I won the first-ever Dino Falls Masters Adventure Golf competition at the Trafford Golf Centre.

Hole 1 of the 18-hole Dino Falls Adventure Golf course

Yesterday evening we visited the Trafford Golf Centre in Manchester for a round on one of our local minigolf courses. Our friend and new minigolf rival Celine joined us for the round - and almost won!

In our match-up I took the win with a round of 42. Emily was second on 43, with Celine third on 48. Emily and Celine had both completed the front-9 with scores of 20, while I hit 22.

The team at the Trafford Golf Centre have plans to open a second 18-hole adventure golf course at the site. You can understand why when you see how busy and popular the course is, especially when the sun is out.

Dino Falls Adventure Golf was the 476th course played and 792nd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

New course at Dino Falls Adventure Golf at Trafford Golf Centre

Plans are underway to expand the Dino Falls Adventure Golf course at Trafford Golf Centre.

There are plans for a further 18-holes at Dino Falls

The existing 18-hole dinosaur-themed course opened in November 2017 and has proved to be incredibly popular. The team at Trafford Golf Centre are now planning to add another 18-hole course to the venue.

We played the original Dino Falls Adventure Golf course last April

Dino Falls Adventure Golf is one of our local courses and is just a short drive down the M60. It was the 476th course played and 792nd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

For more information on the new course, and opening times and prices for the existing course visit the Dino Falls Adventure Golf website.

Check out some more photos from our visit to Dino Falls Adventure Golf last year.

Last April I competed in the first-ever DinoFalls Masters Adventure Golf competition at the Trafford Golf Centre in Manchester - and won it!

I added the Dino Falls Masters title to my minigolf resume last season

I've now won four tournaments at the Trafford Golf Centre site. In addition to the DinoFalls Masters and the MMGC Invitational, I won the 2009 Mini Masters and Mini Open on the 9-hole Championship Miniature Golf course which used to be at the venue. That particular course was the 84th played on our tour. It closed in 2013.

We're looking forward to swinging by the new course at Dino Falls Adventure Golf when it opens.
