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.

Bumpy

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.

Quite a labyrinth!

Hole 7

Hole 8

Humpty

Hole 9

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.

A nice bit of history

Petanque at Beacon Park in Lichfield

Finding a Petanque piste at Beacon Park in Lichfield, Staffordshire.

On our recent Midlands road-trip we visited Beacon Park in Lichfield, Stafffordshire to play the Crazy Golf course. After our game we noticed the park was also home to a Petanque terrain. Good to know as we're fans of the game too.

The rules of boules

The area looked in good condition. It was next to the park cafe and also had a nice view of the Crazy Golf, Pitch & Putt, FootGolf and Disc Golf courses too.

As well as Petanque you can play four types of Golf in the park!

Minigolfing in the Midlands

Earlier this month we were at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield to compete in the American Golf Adventure Golf National Championships. Travelling there and back we ticked off a fair few more minigolf courses on our to visit list and we'll have a lot of blog posts about them to come in the next few weeks.

The road to nowhere

Our travels around the UK have certainly taken us to some interesting places and while driving through the Midlands yesterday afternoon we found the road to nowhere!

This doorway in the Aspall Secret Garden at the Bowling Green pub isn't all it seems!

We stopped off at the Bowling Green while en route to Beacon Park where we were heading to play Crazy Golf. The Bowling Green pub is well worth a visit. It's an interesting spot for a drink as the pub sits on the middle of a roundabout!

The Bowling Green pub has a very nice 3D sign

We've seen a few Crazy Golf courses in pub beer gardens in our time. Not nearly enough though.
