To play golf at home, Gareth Bale set up a perfect 3 holes mini golf course in his back garden. The love of this star soccer player for golf isn’t anything new.

Talking about the golf course at his home Gareth said, “As I moved here I had a lovely bit of land here and I had something. I really wanted to do with it and decided that I would love to make a dream come true and build a mini golf course in my house… It’s a lot better than I ever thought it could be and I’m just so happy I’ve got it here now and so happy that I chose Southwest Greens.”
