Upminster (Hall Lane) - Crazy World of Minigolf Tour - Course Visit - Derelict Course

On Sunday 11th July 2010 we headed to Upminster on our way home from Southend on Sea.

We had heard from London Minigolf Club member (and St George's Day Classic Champion) Gareth Holmes that there was a 9-hole Miniature Golf / Crazy Golf course on Hall Lane - he had played there last summer.

However, the course was most definitely closed on our visit (and by the looks of it, and the sign on the gate, it had been for some time).
