Crazy Golf at Vickersway Park in Northwich

A look at the Crazy Golf course at Vickersway Park in Northwich, Cheshire on Saturday 11th January 2020.

We swung by the Crazy Golf course at Vickersway Park while we were in Northwich at the weekend.

Back in September 2016 the course became the 700th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We have now been to 942 courses since September 2006.

So far this year we've visited nine courses and played at three of them.

Vickersway Park is also home to a Putting course.

On Saturday we revisited Vickersway Park in Northwich to have a look at the Crazy Golf course and Putting Green there.

There are plenty of different benches in the park to have a rest on between walking, exercising and playing miniature golf.

The bench looked different on our last visit in September 2016

Northwich town centre is an interesting place to visit and we found out about the salt mining history of the area - and the problems the town has suffered over the years because of it.

There are plenty of benches around the town to have a nice sit down on between wandering.

Many thanks to my friend Philip Walsh for sending over some snaps of the Mini Golf course and Billiard Golf tables at the shopping centre in Puerto Colón, Tenerife.

The Mini Golf course is of the Swedish Felt variety.

We've seen a few different types of snooker/pool/billiard golf courses and Pit-Pat tables over the years, but the one in Puerto Colón is a new variant of table top miniature golf billiards.
