Swingers Crazy Golf in London

Swingers Crazy Golf teed-off in London nine years ago today.

We played the first Swingers Crazy Golf course back on the 24th September 2014. The indoor minigolf venue was initially a pop-up concept set-up in Shoreditch, London.

We attended the pre-launch event on the 24th, with the course opening to the public for the first time on the 25th September.

The original Swingers Crazy Golf was the 581st miniature golf course we visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We've now been to 1,030 courses since September 2006. When our travels began there were 'only' around 600 courses in the UK - and only two of those were indoor courses!

Since the first pop-up as The Institute of Competitive Socialising, Swingers Crazy Golf has opened two permanent venues in London, with courses now in New York City and Washington DC too. There are also plans for a Swingers Crazy Golf to open MGM's Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

Back in 2012 we played Crazy Golf on the rooftop at Selfridges on Oxford Street as part of the Big British Bang celebrating the summer of sport. The pop-up course was created by renowned jellymongers Bompas & Parr also staged a series of tournaments - in which I came out the champion!

Swingers Crazy Golf in Shoreditch, London

Playing the new Swingers Crazy Golf course in Shoreditch.

A view of the Swingers Crazy Golf course in Shoreditch

Ahead of its full launch today (25 September) Emily and I visited the new Swingers Crazy Golf course in London on Wednesday 24 September.

Swingers - a part of The Institute of Competitive Socialising

It's a really good layout, with some good solid borders, good hole-in-one opportunities

Holes 2 and 3

Playing hole 2 - a couple of ways to play the hole, but watch out for over-hit shots

The course has a par of 21 - with some real par-3 holes, especially the 8th, which features a bridge, dogleg, elevated green and two pipes!

Emily on the tee at hole 8

There's a real party atmosphere at the venue too, with DJ's playing music throughout the night and 'The Royal Shoreditch Golf Club' clubhouse has plenty of alcohol available - with drinking on the course encouraged!

A sand-trap hole!

The 7th hole at Swingers Crazy Golf

Swingers Crazy Golf was the 581st miniature golf course we've visited and 347th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour since September 2006.

Emily playing a shot on hole 2 as one of the Royal & Awesome bedecked course guides/umpires/caddies looks-on. This hole has a tiered green and three routes to the hole

In our match-up Emily won with a score of 21 to my 23 after I scored a dreadful six on the tough water hazard last hole.

I 'decided' to wash my ball on the last hole. For a 6

The current course record is 20(-1) and is held by the course creator - Josh Ford, founder of the Winterwell Festival. We'll be back to have a crack at bettering that score.

Playing hole 6. Noticed the Windmill on the drinks table - there's one for each of the nine holes

In addition to the Crazy Golf course there are two very well-stocked bars - the main Clubhouse and a Freixenet bar - and street food from Patty & Bun and Pizza Pilgrims. Emily tells me the burgers from Patty and Bun are very good. I enjoyed sampling the Freixenet during the round and drowning my sorrows after my loss to Emily with a Gentleman Jack cocktail.

There will also be further pop-up food vendors including When Mac Met Cheese, Butchies and Hix Fishdogs heading to Swingers in the coming months.

There's a unique 'Lucky Last Hole' at the course too. The Freixenet challenge offers the winner a prize if they can knock down the six-pins on the Bowling Alley lane! The closest we got was leaving just one-pin. It's a really nice touch having the hole there as an extra challenge.

Advance booking is necessary to guarantee a round of Crazy Golf at Swingers. The club has seen a huge amount of bookings made already and have already announced that they will be open beyond December, with tickets now available for January, and also for Saturday afternoons.
