Stonehenge The Big Mini Golf in Hemsby, Norfolk

Happy Summer Solstice.

Today marks midsummer and is the 'longest day' and 'shortest night' of the year.

Did you know there's a Stonehenge-themed minigolf course in Hemsby, Norfolk?

Stonehenge - The BIG mini golf in Hemsby, Norfolk

A revisit to the Stonehenge minigolf course in Hemsby, Norfolk.

Last month we swung by the 18-hole Stonehenge-themed miniature golf course in the seaside town of Hemsby.

Stonehenge Big Mini Golf was the 174th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in June 2010 when it was a 15-hole layout. We first visited it in May 2009 when it was a 12-hole course.

My brother and charter member of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour Christopher visited Hemsby in Norfolk yesterday and swung by the Stonehenge Big Mini Golf course.

Stonehenge Big Mini Golf was the 174th course played on our travels in June 2010. We first visited in May 2009.

Our combined total of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour now stands at 983 courses visited.

Crazy Golf course at The Belfry Hotel and Resort

New miniature golf course at The Belfry Hotel and Resort in Wishaw, Sutton Coldfield.

The 'Ryder Legends Mini Golf' is a 12-hole course consisting of holes designed with inspiration from famous Ryder Cup venues. It's open daily from 10am to 6pm with a game for an adult costing £7 and £5 for children.

We played the course in September 2017 when competing in the American Golf National Adventure Golf Championships

You can find more information, opening times and photos of the new minigolf layout on The Belfry Hotel and Resort website and Ryder Legends Mini Golf web page.

We're looking forward to playing the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour as we move towards our 700th course visit!

We've played a few courses on our tour where the layout has been based on famous holes from big golf courses, including the Miniature Golf course at the Celtic Manor Resort in Wales.

Since we began playing LOTS of minigolf in 2006 we've visited a number of courses in the Midlands, while the Midlands Minigolf Club are the current national team minigolf champions.

An overgrown Mini Golf (Pitch & Putt) course at the Erskine Bridge Hotel in Scotland

While in Scotland last weekend I made a flying visit to the Erskine Bridge Hotel ahead of a social event taking place there next year.

While having a wander around my Minigolf-senses and radar were alerted to a patch of land and a sign - which happened to be the former location of a Mini Golf/Pitch & Putt course!

The sign had been covered over as the course is obviously not there/in use any more, but it had been a 9-hole layout.

Link to more information, photos and videos of other course visits on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

One of the Brown Tourist Signs I spotted on the way to play BIG Golf against my rival Simon 'Practice' Hall at Stockwood Park in Luton has made it onto the Follow The Brown Signs Blog.

Stockwood Park Big Mini Golf Match-up - Gottfried vs. Hall

I recently faced-off against fellow Lutonian Simon 'Practice' Hall in a match-up on the 9-hole 'Mini Golf' (Pitch & Putt) course at Stockwood Park in Luton.

In the one-round contest I defeated Simon 35-57 in sunny but slightly windy weather conditions.

One of the Brown Tourist Signs pointing the way to Stockwood Park Golf Centre has taken a bit of a bashing and looks quite different to how it did last week!

The course was the 30th played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in August 2007.

Hemsby Stonehenge BIG mini golf - course revisit - 4th June 2011

On Saturday 4th June 2011 we made a revisit to the 15-hole Stonehenge BIG mini golf course in Hemsby, Norfolk.

Unfortunately as we arrived at the course towards the end of the evening it was closed. However, we did manage to play there last year, when it became the 174th played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The course has some interesting obstacles, one that I particularly like is the 'pole on a gallows' that can help or hinder your shot. I haven't seen this device on any other UK courses we've visited or played to date.

Hopefully we'll get to play there again soon.

When we visited Hemsby in May 2009 we arrived too late to play it too!

Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - course re-visit and played course #174 - Hemsby's Stonehenge BIG Minigolf

While in Hemsby on Friday 4th June we made a visit to the 15-hole Stonehenge BIG Minigolf course for a round. Back in May 2009 we visited the Stonehenge BIG Minigolf course (back when it was only 12-holes) but it was closed for the evening.

The course has some very interesting obstacles, including the swinging poles on the first hole! I ended with a three on the hole, but Emily hit a hole-in-one with a beam-assist!

Another closed course – Stonehenge, Hemsby

While in Hemsby I was unable to play on the Stonehenge BIG Mini Golf course as it wasn't open.

12-holes in-between ‘Stonehenge’ type rocks. I will play there on my return to Hemsby.
