A look back at a snow day on the minigolf courses in Wardown Park, Luton.

| Snow play allowed. This was back in January 2010 |
When we lived down in Luton, Bedfordshire our local park had two miniature golf courses. One was a 9-hole grass Mini Golf layout, the other was a 9-hole fibreglass Crazy Golf course.

| That's hole 1 of the Crazy Golf course under the snow |
The grass course at Wardown Park opened in 1934 and was an interesting one to play. It was too big to be considered to be a Putting Green, but not large enough to be classed as a Pitch & Putt, even though you were issued with an iron and a putter when you played.
 |
| You also received a paper ticket every time you played a round on the courses. A really nice touch and something we've rarely seen elsewhere on our travels |
Sadly both courses are now long gone. Luckily we played a lot of games there in the latter half of the noughties.
The area where the two courses were was turned into a mini meadow in 2015.

There is a new minigolf course near to where the other courses were. We visited it back in 2021.
