Happy new year Richard. I guess with mini golf you're not so worried about frozen greens ? Or are some of the courses on real grass ?
I've played at Jurassic golf in New Malden (Kingston) and apart from that stupid doughnut hole (!) really enjoyed it.

Hello Tim,
Many thanks for your comment and Happy New Year to you too.
Us Crazy Minigolfers tend to play in any weather!
Frozen Greens aren't a problem. Some of the Putting Courses I have played (e.g. Hyde Park) are Grass Putting Style Mini Golf.
Emily always seems to beat me at New Malden :-( It's the Volcano hole that does me in there!
Happy Putting!
Cheers,
Richard

Hello Phil,
Many thanks for the tip ;-)
We'll pop along and check out Metrogolf.
Cheers,
Richard
Two more London Crazy Golf 'courses' visited recently, full details at:
Crazy Golf in Chiswick, London
And
85 Years Too Late to Play a Rooftop Putting Green in London
I've read that Selfridges department store in London is to get a Crazy Golf course and Tea Room on its Rooftop Garden this summer (from the 31st May - 2nd Sept 2012)! More details on a blog post here. The store used to have a Mini Golf course on the Rooftop in the 1920's and 1930's.
I've also heard that a Minigolf is being put up near the London Eye in the city. I'll try and check out this course on my next trip to London.
