Hotel Putting Greens in Sidmouth

The 608th and 609th courses visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour were a pair of Putting Greens on hotel front lawns in Sidmouth, Devon. They're next door to each other!

The 9th course visited on our tour of the South West of England was the grass Putting Green at The Victoria Hotel.

You can find The Victoria Hotel on The Esplanade, Sidmouth, Devon, EX10 8RY.

The 10th course visited on our tour of the South West of England was the grass Putting Green at The Belmont Hotel.

The pair of hotel miniature golf courses looked in fantastic condition and had great views of the sea.

Both hotels are part of the Brend Group. Towards the end of our road-trip we had a very pleasant stay in The Royal Hotel in Bideford, Devon. The hotel is right next to an interesting heritage railway. Worth a visit too.

The old halt and track bed of the Bideford Heritage Railway is at the back of The Royal Hotel. Can you spot Emily in the photo?

Unfortunately the location and price of the car parking in Sidmouth meant we couldn't spend as long at the seaside as we'd have liked. But the course looked in great condition and was being enjoyed by a number of other players.

You can find the Putting Green and other leisure facilities including tennis and bowls at Coburg Terrace, Sidmouth, Devon, EX10 8NH.

For more information, opening times and prices check out the Leisure East Devon website.

The Sidmouth Putting Green is a sister course of the Grass Putting layout we found at Seafield Gardens in Seaton.
