Playing the Mini Golf course at Clays Golf Centre in Wrexham.

The event took place on the 9-hole Miniature Golf course where each of the holes is based on famous holes from regular golf. The course has some very long and large layouts.


The course became the 725th visited and 425th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.
