Hyde Park's Miniature Golf Course

Minigolf Putting Course in Hyde Park, London.

London's Hyde Park is home to a 9-hole Putting Course. Emily and I played the course in August 2010 and yesterday I passed by the Games Pavilion. The course is quite hidden and not many people I've spoken to know the course is there. It's worth a play.

The site now has a website - www.willtowin.co.uk - and the course is still £5 a round. Details of the Golf Putting Green at the Pavilion can be found here.
