We played the Adventure Golf course at Four Ashes Golf Centre in September 2017. The layout was the 770th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've visited the Four Ashes Golf Centre a lot over the years to play tournaments on the centre's 12-hole Mini Golf course. It was originally course number 72 visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in September 2008.

We heard today that the course has now been removed.

It was one of the first courses played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and one we played in many tournaments over the years.

It was such a superb test of putting skill.

Adventure Golf at the Four Ashes Golf Centre in Dorridge

Playing the new Adventure Golf course at Four Ashes Golf Centre in Dorridge, Solihull.


Adventure Golf at the Four Ashes Golf Centre in Dorridge

On Saturday 9th September we visited the Four Ashes Golf Centre in Dorridge to play the new 18-hole Adventure Golf course.

On the 18th

It's a brilliant Harris Miniature Golf layout and it looks superb. Even though the weather had been dreadful the course still played really nicely. I shot a round of 41 (the course par is 50). Not bad considering the weather conditions. There are definitely some great hole-in-one opportunities on the course, as well as some potential pitfalls. It's a well designed course and you really need to be on top of your game for some of the second putts as the greens are fairly large for minigolf.

What a lovely setting for a game of miniature golf

The course became the 770th visited and 457th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

It was a very wet Saturday when we called into the Four Ashes Golf Centre in Dorridge

On Saturday 9th September we visited the Four Ashes Golf Centre in Dorridge to play the new 18-hole Adventure Golf course. While there we also had to have a look at the 12-hole Mini Golf course - we've played it so many times over the years.

A nice hole to start your round - but it can be a tough second putt if you don't get your reboud right

The optical illusion can trick you into playing too hard a shot. This will leave you with a tough second putt

Minigolfing in the Midlands

Earlier this month we were at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield to compete in the American Golf Adventure Golf National Championships. Travelling there and back we ticked off a fair few more minigolf courses on our to visit list and we'll have a lot of blog posts about them to come in the next few weeks.
