GB golf team open our golf course in the Norfolk Broads
Chris Harding (pictured right) launched the course by beating Richard Tidy (pictured left), golf professional at De Vere Dunston Hall Golf Club in a challenge match, 38 strokes to 43.
The mini adventure golf course, developed by UrbanCrazy, www.urbancrazy.com on behalf of Green Space Leisure, who run the children's funfair at Wroxham Barns, provides a fun sporting challenge for people of all ages and abilities. The course has 18 original holes, each different from the next and is fitted with an all-weather, true-rolling putting surface and smooth borders. It rewards accurate putting and cleverly played rebound shots.
Fairway features include gentle slopes and undulations as well as water hazards, bridge and other obstacles. The site has been landscaped with rockeries and has a 'rushing' watercourse with a central fountain and waterfall. A round of golf costs £3.50 for all ages.
The course has been designed to British Minigolf Association standards, www.bmga.co.uk, and is DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) compliant.
Ian Russell, Director Wroxham Barns said: "Our new adventure golf course is a superb addition to Wroxham Barns. It is visually very exciting and provides a fun challenge for mini golfers of all ages. We are looking forward to getting involved in the mini golf world and hope to host competitions before too long"
Chris Harding said: "Wroxham Barns is a great place to visit. I am sure that the new course, which is an excellent facility, will be enjoyed by mini golfers of all abilities."
