The indoor Crazy Golf layouts at Swingers have a seaside theme and are set inside a very nice environment to spend a few hours.

We both scored 22 over 9-holes, but as it was my birthday I won.

There were some quite tricky holes, although with a bit of practice most could be aceable. Emily shot holes-in-one on holes 4 and 9.

We've always found Swingers Crazy Golf courses to be extremely well done. From first entering the venue until the point you leave it's a pleasure to be there. The obstacles and greens are well designed and are very pleasing to look at. The putters and balls are high quality and the scorecards are incredibly well done.

We played the first Swingers pop-up Crazy Golf course in Shoreditch back in September 2014. The brand has grown since then, with Swingers in The City opening next to the Gherkin in 2016, a course I played in 2017.

We're looking forward to playing at Swingers Crazy Golf again in the future.
