Playing the Ryder Legends Mini Golf course at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield.
We visited The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield back in September 2017. We were there to play the Ryder Legends Mini Golf course as part of the inaugural American Golf National Adventure Golf Championship.

| Playing hole 3 (inspired by the 17th at Kiawah Island) |
Each of the 12-holes on the Ryder Legends Mini Golf course is based on a famous hole from 'big' golf. It's a tricky layout with some very long holes.
Along with Peter Jones I'd qualified for the grand final of the American Golf National Adventure Golf Championship after winning the Welsh Regional Qualifier in April.
The Ryder Legends Mini Golf course was the 456th course played and 768th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. You can see photos of the holes below and videos of the 12-holes on our YouTube Channel (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12).
