Crazy Golf at Beacon Park in Lichfield

Playing the Crazy Golf course at Beacon Park in Lichfield, Staffordshire.


On Sunday 10th September we swung by Beacon Park in Lichfield, Staffordshire for a game on the Crazy Golf course there.

The Crazy Golf course is in a nice setting

The 9-hole Crazy Golf course is of the Eternit Miniature Golf variety, although it has had some modifications from the norm. This was in the form of felt over the thin concrete playing surface as well as a selection of fibreglass obstacles, including a Humpty.



The Crazy Golf course at Beacon Park in Lichfield became the 775th course visited and 461st played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

I'm always happy if there's a Humpty obstacle on a course

In our minigolf match-up I won with a score of 19 to Emily's 23.



It's a good little Crazy Golf layout and we had a fun round on it.

We enjoyed our visit to Beacon Park. The whole area looked nice and the facilities in the park were very good. The Crazy Golf course is next to Pitch & Putt, FootGolf and Disc Golf courses, as well as a Petanque terrain and the park cafe.

Judging by the piece of metal to the left it looks like there used to be a different obstacle on this hole

This was the first time we've seen this variant on the ramp obstacle. Normally the ball is trapped inside the box after putting as a way to collect the ball at the end of a round

Check out the Lichfield Historic Parks and Visit Lichfield websites for more info on Beacon Park and its facilities.
