Many thanks for your comment.
It'...Brilliant.<br /><br />Many thanks for your comment.<br /><br />It's always interesting to hear from people who played at long-lost courses.<br /><br />We're found quite a few abandoned, derelict and lost courses on our travels.<br /><br />Our local park here in Cheadle Hulme used to have a Pitch & Putt course and you can still see the edges of a few of the greens there too.Richard Gottfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251803061638754995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37729425.post-20377431893396753952022-02-09T22:06:29.972+00:002022-02-09T22:06:29.972+00:00I was a regular over at Harrow Lodge Park Mini Gol...I was a regular over at Harrow Lodge Park Mini Golf Course but its heyday, when it still had someone charging you to play was a good 25-30 years ago. From the picture you've taken you'd need to walk about 200 meters more in to the park to get to the end of the front 9 and start of the back 9. If you know where you're looking you can still see the undulations from the edge of the greens on 2 or 3 holes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37729425.post-9925361871207605962012-07-20T14:30:55.156+01:002012-07-20T14:30:55.156+01:00Thanks for the comment.

It looked like a good little course - even through the fence and dereliction!<br /><br />I'd heard via the minigolf 'grapevine' that Havering's Central Park did have a course!?<br /><br />The trip around Hornchurch, Romford and Havering was rather fruitless!<br /><br />Happy Putting!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />RichardRichard Gottfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251803061638754995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37729425.post-25066970238887999202011-01-04T22:09:58.505+00:002011-01-04T22:09:58.505+00:00Hmm, the one in Upminster was definitely still in ...Hmm, the one in Upminster was definitely still in use...erm, 12 years ago. I used to play there as a teenager, some years before that.<br /><br />Don't know about ANY of the others you mention, however. I'm a bit confused by your reference to "Central Park, Havering". The one in Havering is in Harold Hill. (Is there a mini-golf there? Possibly, but I doubt it. too many of the locals would use golf-clubs as weapons.). The one on your map is the (very inappropriately named) Central Park in Dagenham (less rough than Harold Hill, honestly). I think there did used to be mini-golf there, but I have no idea if it continues! <br /><br />Sorry not to be of greater helpDominichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145734042272196687noreply@blogger.com
