CLUB GOLF pop-up crazy golf in London

Looking back at the CLUB GOLF pop-up minigolf course at Coal Drops Yard in King's Cross, London.

I was lucky enough to get a game in on the pop-up Crazy Golf course at Coal Drops Yard in King's Cross, London on the 25th February 2020.

It was the last new minigolf course I played before the coronavirus pandemic lockdown hit the UK.

The 9-hole rave-inspired art installation crazy golf course was the 948th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 542nd played.

Artists Baker & Borowski created the 9-hole themed Crazy Golf layout inspired by the rave culture in the King's Cross area back in the 1980's and 1990's.

I shot a round of 23 in my game - the scorecard noted that the maximum score allowed was 63! A seven on each hole.

Putt Putt Social Indoor Minigolf in Gloucester

A visit to Putt Putt Social Gloucester.

The Crazy World of Minigolf Tour visits Putt Putt Social in Gloucester.

I swung by Putt Putt Social Gloucester at the King's Walk shopping centre in Gloucester, Gloucestershire last month.

Putt Putt Social Gloucester is home to two 9-hole indoor crazy golf courses - Tokyo Drift and Zen Garden.

I played both layouts on my visit, tackling the Tokyo Drift course first. The off-peak deal meant that playing both courses was £11 (one course is £9 a game).

I shot a round of 25 on the Tokyo Drift minigolf course at Putt Putt Social Gloucester, and followed up with a score of 19 - including two holes-in-one - on the Zen Garden course.

My brother Christopher played at the Putt Putt Social venue in Norwich on his branch of the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour when the brand was known as Putt Putt Noodle. At Putt Putt Social Norwich you can find the Dragon Quest, Cherry Blossom and Crouching Tiger indoor minigolf courses.
