Despite rain and thunder forcing play to be suspended on several occasions during the first day, the organisers of the tournament ensured that all 12 stroke-play rounds and all match-play rounds were completed during the four days.

There were 170 participants in the tournament, including 123 players representing 16 countries, making it the largest event to date in 2016 that was organised by the World Minigolf Sport Federation (WMF) and its continental federations.

Both team competitions were very close with the German men narrowly beating the Swedish team by two strokes.

The Czech Republic took the bronze medal as Marian Strasko had an amazing run on the course, setting a world record of 87 strokes over four rounds.

The race was almost as tight in the women's division but Germany won by four strokes over Austria.

The Czech women added another bronze for their country.

In the men's individual competition, each of the top spots were determined by only one stroke.

After 12 rounds, Fabian Spies from Austria took the gold medal with a 274 over Markus Nilsson of Sweden who managed a score of 275. 

The bronze medal went to Strasko with a score of 276. 

In the women's tournament, Austria were once again successful as Elisabeth Gruber took the gold medal over Jana Nakladalova of the Czech Republic.

Switzerland managed to gain its first medal when Maja Wicki took the bronze.
