Q-Golf at The O2 - Minigolf course played #210 on The Crazy World of Minigolf Tour

On the 30th December 2010 we visited and played the final minigolf course of 2010 with a trip to The O2 for a play of the Q-Golf Minigolf Course.

The course is a temporary attraction and has been in place since the 7th December 2010 and will be playable until the 30th January 2011.

When we played the 'Q-Golf' we played with standard Golf Putters and Balls, although according to the website the concept is a mix of Minigolf and Pool!?

The 9-hole set-up was fun to play and the theming of the obstacles was very good.
