Adventure Golf at Beacon Park in Lichfield

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.

Minigolf and Pit-Pat at Olympiapark München

A look at the Minigolf and Pit-Pat courses at Olympiapark München.

The Olympiapark München is home to a Miniature Golf course that was set-up in the athletes village for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games.

Our friend Kevin Moseley recently visited Olympiapark München while on holiday in Germany and sent us this snap of the minigolf and Pit-Pat layouts.

You can find more information on the Olympiapark München and the Minigolf & Pit-Pat Olympiapark München websites.

Southend Pier Crazy Golf

A visit to the Crazy Golf course at the end of Southend Pier.

We had a stroll along the pier while in Southend-on-Sea in April last year. As well as taking in the views and sea air, we wanted to take a look at the minigolf course at the end of it.

The Crazy Golf course on Southend Pier used to live on Boscombe Pier in Dorset! We didn't get a chance to visit it when it was there.

On our last visit to Southend in 2016 we played another course that used to be on the other side of the pier. The octopus on the current course used to be an obstacle on the old course.

The Southend Pier Crazy Golf course was the 1,022nd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

My friend and minigolf rival (and sometimes team-mate) Seth Thomas recently swung by the Trowbridge Park Mini Golf in Trowbridge, Wiltshire and sent me these snaps.

It looks to be a type of Eternit-style miniature golf layout.
