Adventure Golf at Beacon Park in Lichfield

Lichfield's Beacon Park is getting a new Adventure Golf course.


Lichfield's Beacon Park is getting a new Adventure Golf course

The new outdoor Adventure Golf course at Beacon Park in Lichfield, Staffordshire is being created as part of improvement works to the facilities at the park.

The park's Pitch & Putt course will also be changed, going from an 18-hole to a 9-hole course, but with improved fairways and greens. Footgolf and disc golf will also be retained.

Check out the Lichfield District Council and Lichfield Historic Parks websites for more information.


The Adventure Golf course at Beacon Park will be a new one for us to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've been to Beacon Park before. Back in September 2017 we played the Eternit-style Miniature Golf course at the park. That layout became the 461st played and 775th visited on our travels.

The team at Love Bebington have started the refurbishment of the abandoned Crazy Golf course at Higher Bebington Park in Birkenhead.

We visited the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in July 2017.

Hole 3

The 15-hole course is a unique layout and we thought it looked like it'd be very interesting to play.

Good luck to the Love Bebington team with their efforts on the Crazy Golf course at Higher Bebington Park.

It'll be nice to revisit the course and actually have a game there in the future.


Check out the Love Bebington pages on Facebook and Instagram to follow the progress of the course refurb.

Hole 3 - The Squid - is one of two holes on the course that has a choice of cups to aim for. A 'Kids' and an 'Adults' version - both were pretty tough!
