What ’ s On
Minigolf La Herradura
La Herradura now has its own minigolf course called Minigolf La Herradura which has been built by an ex-golf trainer , a former member of the PGA of America .
The man behind it , Scott Huston , is an American who has lived in several European countries including Germany , Northern Ireland and Denmark . For the last 17 years he has called La Herradura home .
Minigolf La Herradura lies between the main road ( N340 ) and Calle Las Palomas 12 where the entrance is , just one street behind the post office . It has 18 holes and covers a good part of the 1,100 sq / m plot - on the rest of it are two petanque lanes and an area for racquet sports such as mini tennis , air badminton and the new fad of “ Pickleball ”. There is also space for restrooms , administrative reception and a store room .
When asked how he decided on this project , he said he had played minigolf as a kid and often on vacations over the years . “ At 56 years old I decided I had a better chance of scoring well on golf holes measuring four to six metres that 400 to 600 metres .”
He added , “ One thing I ’ d like to make clear , as this is a very novel concept in Spain , is that minigolf is not a short form of the golf you ’ d see on TV , but simply putting the ball into a hole through various obstacles . The holes are made of artificial grass as is the racquet sports area and the course is made from existing land with gravel pathways . No water is required for the entire plot aside for the restrooms .”
