Putting Course at Hermitage Recreation Ground in Coalville

In June 2008 we took a road-trip to Northallerton. Our first stop was at the then new UrbanCrazy Minigolf course at Hermitage Recreation Ground in Coalville, Leicestershire.


As well as the new minigolf course there was a Putting Course there too.

The recreation ground is also home to a miniature railway.

Looking through our archives I noticed that we also visited a Miniature Railway there.

From the archives - Coalville Minigolf, Leicestershire (June 2008)

Back on the 14th June 2008 we were heading to Northallerton on a roadtrip (that would also see us play courses in Scarborough and Filey) and were passing by Coalville on our journey up the M1 so decided to look in on the (then) brand new 9-hole hole course.

The course in Coalville, Leicestershire was the 54th we visited on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour at that point.

While we were there we held a three-player Irregular Mini Golf Tour competition that saw me, Emily and our friend Daniel Marsh play a two-round (18-hole) match. The first round was a qualifier, with the top two players then facing off against each other in round two.

In round one Emily scored a 28(+10), to me and Daniel's 23(+5).

In the second round Daniel hit a 24(+6), while I scored a 23(+5) again to just sneak the victory with a two-round +10 score of 46!
