Adventure Golf at Beacon Park in Lichfield, Staffordshire

A look at the new adventure golf course at Beacon Park in Lichfield, Staffordshire.

We swung by the adventure golf course at Beacon Park in Lichfield during an afternoon in the city on the way back home from a trip to visit family and friends in East Anglia.

Back in September 2017 we played the Eternit-style miniature golf course at Beacon Park. That layout became the 461st played and 775th visited on our travels.

The new course replaced the crazy golf course in the park and covers the same location

This particular Eternit miniature golf obstacle has been retained in the new course layout, with some modifications as can be seen below

The new adventure golf course at Beacon Park opened in May this year.

The adventure golf course at Beacon Park is a 9-hole outdoor woodland-inspired adventure golf layout.

It became the 1,129th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since 2006.

Beacon Park in Lichfield is also home to a Pitch & Putt course.

Pitch & Putt Mini Golf at Onchan Pleasure Park on the Isle of Man

A look at the Pitch & Putt Mini Golf course at Onchan Pleasure Park on the Isle of Man.

On 'Minigolf Monday' this week I asked "Where in the world was this Pitch & Putt miniature golf course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour?".

The answer was the Pitch & Putt Mini Golf at Onchan Pleasure Park on the Isle of Man.

We played the course during our holiday on the Isle of Man in 2018.

During our round I managed to score my first ever hole-in-one on a Pitch & Putt course. It came on hole 4.

Onchan Pleasure Park is also home to a 9-hole Crazy Golf course.

Guess the Pitch & Putt miniature golf course location...

Pitch & Putt on the Great Orme in Llandudno

The Pitch & Putt course on the Great Orme in Llandudno, Wales has re-opened.

Find out more.

Visit the Great Orme Golf website for more information on the Pitch & Putt course.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've been to Llandudno and the Great Orme on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour several times over the years. We haven't played the Pitch & Putt before, but have swung by it.

This is a view of part of the course when it was known as Great Orme Family Golf in August 2018

When we first visited the Great Orme in 2009 we didn't realise the Pitch & Putt course was there as we didn't descend the headland on the town side.

It's excellent news to hear the Pitch & Putt course has now re-opened.

The Great Orme headland is also home to two other minigolf courses - one half-way up (Alpine Adventure Golf), and one right at the very top (Rocky Pines Adventure Golf)!

We're looking forward to re-visiting the seaside town and the Great Orme in the future.

Crazy Golf and Pitch & Putt in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall

A look at the Crazy Golf and Pitch & Putt courses in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall.

During our road trip around the South West of England in 2015 we spotted the Crazy Golf and Pitch & Putt courses in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall. The next planned stop after visiting Newquay was Padstow, but we found these bonus minigolf courses en route!

The Crazy Golf looked vintage and must've been there for many years.

Unfortunately the parking in Mawgan Porth wasn't ideal so we were unable to give the courses a play on that trip.

Some interesting looking holes on the old concrete Crazy Golf course

The courses were the 48th and 49th visited on our trip around the South West of England and the 647th and 648th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

It did look like a nice spot for a few rounds of miniature golf

Minigolf at Burrowhead Holiday Village

I recently found out there is a Pitch & Putt course, Crazy Golf, and a Putting Green at the Burrowhead Holiday Village in Cutcloy, Scotland.

It's always interesting finding out about new places to play minigolf. Hopefully we'll get to visit these layouts on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in the future.

We last visited Ambleside on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in April 2012 when the location was also home to a Putting layout. That has been replaced by Croquet.

The Pitch N Putt looks like a nice tricky layout and the views and location are very pleasant indeed.
