Adventure Footgolf at Stonham Barns

Smugglers Pass Adventure Footgolf is opening at Stonham Barns in Suffolk this month.

The team at Stonham Barns Golf Park in Suffolk have created a new way to play 'golf' - Adventure Footgolf!

The game is a cross between Adventure Golf and Footgolf.

Footgolf is already a marrying up of elements of football and golf, and played on Pitch & Putt / Par-3 layouts.

It'll be interesting to see the new invention when we next swing by Stonham Barns.

We've played miniature golf at Stonham Barns on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour several times over the years. The first time was in August 2007 when the old Crazy Golf course became the 33rd place we played.

We've now visited a total of 865 courses since September 2006. When we began there were around 600 courses in the UK. There are now more than 1,000!

Adventure Golf at Stonham Barns in Suffolk

A look at the new Adventure Golf course under construction at Stonham Barns in Suffolk.

Last month we swung by Stonham Barns in Suffolk to take a look at the new Smugglers Bay Adventure Golf course being built at the leisure and retail venue.

The Smugglers Bay Adventure Golf layout replaces the old Crazy Golf course at the site. That course was the 33rd played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in August 2007!

The new Adventure Golf course will certainly be different in style to the old course.

The old Mini Putting course as it was in 2013

We're looking forward to a game on the new Smugglers Bay Adventure Golf course when we next return to Suffolk.

Now up to 815 minigolf course visits

We've just got back from a brilliant long weekend of minigolf fun in the sun.

Having ticked off another five minigolf courses in East Anglia we're now up to 815 visits on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. 777 of them have been in the UK.

It was nice to have a round on the Putting course at Southwold. I managed to shoot the low round of the week and qualify for the course's end of season tournament too! What a nice bonus

During the Bank Holiday weekend we played at Southwold Putting & Cafe on the Green and Jiggers Miniature Golf at Thorpeness Golf Club & Hotel.

We also visited the Crazy Golf course at Southwold Boating Lake, a Putting Green at Thorpeness Golf Club & Hotel and the new Pirate Adventure Golf course at Stonham Barns. The latter of which is still under construction and is replacing the Crazy Golf course we've played before.

More blog posts from our trip to follow soon...

In the meantime, check out the full list of courses we've visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Smugglers Bay Adventure Golf at Stonham Barns in Suffolk

We've heard that Stonham Barns in Suffolk is opening a new Adventure Golf course!

We've played the Mini-Putting course there a few times over the years, as Stonham Barns is close by when we're visiting family in Ipswich.

That course was the 33rd of the 806 we've visited so far on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. The last time we were there was in 2013.

It's interesting to hear about the new Smugglers Bay Adventure Golf course. We look forward to swinging by on a future visit to East Anglia.

The Adventure Golf course will be one of eight elements making up the UK's first Golf Adventure Park located at Stonham Barns.

Looking on the Stonham Barns Golf Centre website I also noticed they have a thing called 'Street Golf'. I'm interested in seeing that too.

A Minigolf Revisit to Stonham Barns

Playing the Mini Putting Crazy Golf course at Stonham Barns, Suffolk.

Having not had the opportunity to play any Minigolf on Miniature Golf Day this year I was pleased to be able to have a round on the 9-hole Mini Putting Crazy Golf course at Stonham Barns Golf Centre in Suffolk on Sunday 22nd of September.

Playing the very tricky 9th hole at Stonham Barns

Back in August 2007 the Stonham Barns Minigolf course became the 33^rd we played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Holing out on hole 3 of the Mini Putting Crazy Golf course at Stonham Barns

In a match against myself I scored rounds of 24(+6) and 20(+2).

 

 

 

 

After some terrible shots on the 9th hole (the hardest on the course) I did manage to Ace it before we left.

The course is £2 a round and while we were there we saw a few other groups and pairs having some games too. Stonham Barns is a nice spot with shops and attractions (including an Owl sanctuary). As a bonus we picked up a ‘Crazy Golf Machine’ board game for a quid at the on-site weekly Car Boot Sale!

Looking on the Stonham Barns Golf Centre website I noticed that they also run regular Footgolf events! Another crazy type of Golf!
