Plonk Golf now have miniature golf courses in Dalston/Stoke Newington, Hoxton and Brixton.

A round of Crazy Golf at Plonk! Golf in the Duke of Edinburgh's beer garden in Brixton costs £5 per player. For more information visit the Plonk! Golf website.

We're looking forward to giving the courses a play on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

It's always nice to hear about new mini and crazy golf courses opening in London. There is still a bit of a dearth of permanent Crazy Golf courses in Central London, but Plonk! Golf are helping meet the demand from fans of the miniature game.

It's always great to hear about new Crazy Golf courses in London. The original Plonk Golf course at Efes Snooker Hall in Dalston became the 596th visited and 360th played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in April this year.

You can find the original Plonk Golf course at Efes Snooker Club, 17B Stoke Newington Road, Stoke Newington, London N16 8BH. The nearest station is Dalston Kingsland (Overground). For more information and booking details check out the Plonk Golf website, Plonk Golf Hoxton page and the Plonk Golf Facebook page for news and updates. The new course will be a UV indoor mini golf - great news as there is certainly a lack of indoor black light courses in the UK!

Plonk Golf Crazy Golf at Efes Snooker Hall in London

On St George's Day 2015 I attended the preview launch night of London's newest mini golf course - Plonk Golf.

Along with former minigolf Pro Brad 'The Fist' Shepherd we went along to put the course through its paces ahead of its full launch to the public on Wednesday 29 April.

Hole 7 - the half-pipe-tunnel - looks like an easy ace...it's not

The Crazy Golf course layout is within Efes Snooker Club on Stoke Newington Road and is set-up on either side of the snooker hall with 9 very tricky holes to master.

The second half of hole 5 involves a Pool table!

Plonk Golf has been created from reclaimed materials that have been repurposed to create a very unique miniature golf course. There's a working volcano on the first hole, a birdcage on the hill at the third, a loop-di-loop to tackle on the fourth, and a pool table making up half of the hole on the fifth hole. There are also more pipes and tunnels than you can shake a stick (or golf club) at!

The Plonk Golf course is the brainchild of the team at The House of Revelry and will be open on Wednesdays (6pm to 12.30am) and Thursdays (12pm to 1am) from the 29 April. A round on the course will cost £7.50 per player.

In our match-up on the Plonk Golf course I defeated Brad in round one, scoring a 20 to his 27 and setting the clubhouse record.

Hole 6 was one of my favourite holes

In our second game we both shot scores of 20. we were very happy to both finish with a hole-in-one on the incredibly tricky 'Jump into the bucket' shot on the ninth hole!

The minigolf course will be changing through the duration of its pop-up at Efes, with new obstacles and hole configurations, which'll certainly make it even more crazy.
