Top Mini Golf Courses in London

London’s mini-golf venues range from landscaped park courses to late-night bars where putting is only one part of the evening. The experience differs substantially between technology-led indoor golf, cocktail-focused crazy golf, outdoor park courses and full 18-hole family attractions.

The seven venues below cover those different formats without treating them as directly interchangeable.

What distinguishes a suitable mini-golf venue?

The right choice depends on course length, indoor or outdoor setting, age policy, accessibility, atmosphere and whether golf is the main attraction or one activity inside a larger bar.

Before booking, check whether the ticket covers nine or 18 holes, whether the selected time is an arrival slot or tee-off time, the final checkout price, under-18 restrictions, group size limits and weather or cancellation terms.

Prices, opening times and family sessions can change by day, so the live booking page should be checked before travelling.

At a glance

The quoted price is not always the final checkout total. Booking fees, peak pricing and optional packages can apply.

How much does mini golf cost in London?

A standard nine-hole indoor game typically costs around £9–£15 per person. Outdoor courses and full 18-hole attractions generally cost around £11–£15 for an adult, with lower child prices. Packages combining golf with drinks, food or other games may cost £20–£50 or more.

Before comparing prices, check:

• whether the ticket covers nine or 18 holes;
• whether an online booking fee is added;
• whether peak and off-peak rates differ;
• whether children have a separate price;
• whether food or drink is compulsory;
• whether a second course is discounted;
• whether the booked “time slot” is the actual tee-off time;
• whether refunds are offered for bad weather.

Puttshack Bank

Address: 1 Poultry, Queen Victoria Street, London EC2R 8EJ
Phone: 020 3912 9400
Opening: Generally 11am or noon until late evening, with day-specific closing times
Published price: £14 per adult aged 13+ and £9.50 for children aged 12 and under; online bookings receive a £1 discount
Age policy: Under-18s are not permitted after 7pm; children aged 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult
Website

Puttshack Bank is a technology-led mini-golf venue using automated scoring. Each ball is linked to the player, allowing the system to record shots, award points, apply penalties and display the result without a paper scorecard.

The Bank venue has three nine-hole courses. A round for two players typically takes around 30 minutes, although larger groups and busy periods take longer. The games include bonus opportunities and hazards, so the result is not based solely on the lowest number of strokes. Traditionalists may prefer a straightforward scorecard, but the format works well for mixed-ability groups because the technology keeps the competition moving.

The venue is also a full restaurant and bar, making it practical for work socials and birthday groups. Event packages combine one round with reserved space, food and drinks, but package pricing is considerably higher than a normal golf ticket and minimum group sizes can apply.

Puttshack advertises unlimited golf on selected Sunday-to-Thursday dates. It can be good value for people who genuinely want several rounds, although course access remains subject to availability.

Pros

• Automatic scoring removes the need to track strokes manually
• Three courses provide replay value
• Central location close to Bank and Monument
• Junior, standard and selected unlimited-golf prices are published

Best for: Groups wanting high-tech scoring and a central restaurant-and-games venue.

Planning tip: Book online for the lower rate and arrive early enough to check in before the allocated game.

Swingers West End

Address: 15 John Prince’s Street, London W1G 0AB
Phone: 020 3846 3222
Opening: Monday from 3pm; Tuesday and Wednesday from 1pm; Thursday to Saturday until midnight or later; Sunday daytime and evening
Published price: Live prices vary by date and time and should be checked in the booking system
Age policy: Under-18s are welcome during family sessions before 6pm, with last entry at 5pm; children must be at least seven to play
Website

Swingers West End combines crazy golf with a stylised seaside setting, street food, bars and a separate carnival-games area. It has two nine-hole courses, and at least one is designed to accommodate wheelchair users when arranged in advance.

Swingers West End uses a 1920s British seaside theme and adds carnival games, making it a broader competitive-socialising venue than a straightforward golf course.

Golf bookings use 30-minute arrival slots rather than guaranteed immediate tee times. Guests are asked to arrive at least 15 minutes before the booked slot and are assigned a tee-off after check-in. At busy periods, the nine holes usually take around 30–40 minutes once play begins.

The venue becomes adults-only from 6pm. Families therefore need a designated daytime session, while evening visitors should carry original photo identification if they may be challenged under the venue’s Challenge 25 policy.

Pros

• Central Oxford Circus location
• Crazy golf can be combined with carnival games and food
• Published off-peak and peak reference prices
• An accessible course is available when arranged ahead

Best for: Dates and groups wanting golf, street food and additional games in one West End venue.

What to confirm: Contact the venue after booking if anyone needs the wheelchair-accessible course.

Putt in the Park Battersea

Address: Battersea Park, Albert Bridge Road, London SW11 4NJ
Phone: 020 7228 4946
Opening: Monday to Friday, 9am–7pm with last tee-off at 6pm; Saturday and Sunday, 9am–8pm with last tee-off at 7pm; weather permitting
Published price: £14 adults, £11 children under 15, £46 family of four and £12 students; online prices exclude a 10% booking fee
Course: 12 outdoor holes
Website

Putt in the Park Battersea is an outdoor alternative to London’s bar-based courses. Its 12-hole layout uses slopes, rocks, planting and water features rather than neon screens or nightclub-style effects.

The park setting makes it suitable for a broader day out. The clubhouse serves food and drink, including pizza from a wood-fired oven, and Battersea Park provides playgrounds, walking routes and other activities nearby. Dogs are welcomed at Putt in the Park, subject to sensible control around the course and café.

The course is not floodlit, so the final tee time is earlier than the closing time. Play is weather-dependent. Online booking secures a slot but adds a 10% fee, while some concessions are available only to walk-in customers.

The operator describes its venues as wheelchair accessible but notes that the nature of the golf course can limit access for some people with mobility difficulties. Anyone concerned about slopes, narrow points or specific obstacles should contact the course before travelling.

Pros

• Outdoor landscaped course in a major London park
• More family-oriented than the late-night indoor venues
• Adult, child, family and student rates are published
• Café and pizzeria support a longer visit

Best for: Families, daytime dates and anyone who prefers outdoor putting to a games bar.

Planning tip: Check the weather and final tee-off time rather than relying only on the stated closing time.

Ted’s Crazy Golf London

Location: Shoreditch end of Worship Street, London
Former name: Junkyard Golf Club London
Published price: Current London page lists £14 for one nine-hole course and £24.50 for two courses
Age policy: Restricted under-18 sessions apply; verify the permitted days and final tee time before booking
Website

The Shoreditch venue is scheduled to move from the Junkyard Golf Club identity to the Ted’s Crazy Golf brand from 1 August 2026. Until that change is completed, customers may encounter both names across booking pages, social profiles and venue signage.

Junkyard Golf Club has operated neon-heavy, prop-filled nine-hole courses with a bar-led atmosphere. Ted’s promotes a darker theatrical concept with two nine-hole courses and a retro diner. Because the transition affects course names, design and potentially opening arrangements, customers should rely on the final booking confirmation rather than older descriptions.

The live London landing page currently lists nine- and 18-hole prices. Family tickets are offered on selected days, but under-18 restrictions are stricter than at a dedicated family attraction. Anyone booking around the rebrand should use the live checkout and confirmation email as the source of truth.

This remains a better fit for social groups than for people seeking a quiet, traditional putting course.

Pros

• Distinctive themed indoor format
• Nine- and 18-hole prices are published
• Shoreditch location is convenient for Liverpool Street
• Two-course ticket is available for groups wanting a longer game

Best for: Friends wanting theatrical indoor crazy golf and a late-night Shoreditch atmosphere.

What to confirm: Check the current brand, course choice, address, under-18 policy and opening hours on the final booking screen.

Dinosaur Safari Adventure Golf

Address: A1 Golf Activity Centre, Rowley Lane, Arkley, Hertfordshire EN5 3HW
Phone: 020 8447 1411
Opening: Daily, 9am–7.30pm, with last tee time at 6.45pm
Published price: £13 adults, £10.50 ages 5–16, £4 ages four and under, and £37 for a qualifying family ticket
Course: 18 outdoor, floodlit holes
Website

Dinosaur Safari is included for families who want a fuller adventure-golf course rather than a short central-city activity. It sits near Barnet at the northern edge of Greater London and contains 18 holes among large dinosaur models, rocks, streams, lagoons and planting.

The full course makes the journey more worthwhile for families than travelling to a nine-hole bar venue. It is also floodlit, reducing the dependence on daylight that affects park-based golf. The location is easiest by car, and it is less convenient for tourists relying entirely on central London public transport.

Prices are clearly published, including several group rates. Carers accompany a paying adult free of charge, and tee slots are limited to five players. Children’s party packages are also available, but minimum group numbers and optional extras apply.

Although marketed for all ages, the dinosaur theme is naturally strongest for younger children. Adult groups wanting cocktails and nightlife will find the central indoor venues more suitable.

Pros

• Full 18-hole course
• Clear adult, child and family pricing
• Floodlighting extends playable hours
• Carers can attend free with a paying adult

Best for: Families wanting a substantial dinosaur-themed course rather than a short city-centre game.

Planning tip: Allow for travel time and book adjacent tee slots if the group has more than five players.

Boom Battle Bar Oxford Street

Address: Oxford Street, London; confirm the unit in the booking confirmation
Format: Crazier Golf within a multi-activity bar
Published price: £9 per person for golf; current bundles combine a 55-minute game, drinks and food from around £33
Age policy: Strictly over 18 after 7pm
Website

Boom Battle Bar’s “Crazier Golf” is useful when mini golf is only one part of the plan. The Oxford Street venue also offers activities such as augmented-reality darts, shuffleboard and beer pong, with food and drinks available on site.

At £9 per person, the standalone golf activity is one of the lower published central-London prices in this guide. However, it should not be mistaken for a long landscaped course. The activity is designed to fit into a broader games-bar visit, and bundles may be better value only for groups who want the included drinks and food.

The venue becomes adults-only after 7pm. Earlier family access and individual activity rules should be checked in the live booking flow because not every game has identical age restrictions.

This is a practical choice for groups with different interests: people can combine golf with other bookable games rather than expecting every participant to spend the whole visit putting.

Pros

• Low published standalone golf price
• Central location
• Several other games can be booked in the same venue
• Food-and-drink packages are available

Best for: Groups wanting a short golf game alongside several other competitive activities.

What to confirm: Check the length of the golf session, group capacity and whether each participant must buy the same bundle.

Lost Jungle London

Address: Formerly associated with the Hounslow and Twickenham area; confirm the current entrance and travel directions before visiting
Course: Two 18-hole adventure-golf courses
Published price: Confirm through the current booking system
Website

Lost Jungle offers 36 holes across two adventure-golf courses, making it one of the more substantial family formats in the London area. It is intended as an attraction in its own right rather than an accessory to a bar.

The two-course setup is useful for repeat visits or groups that want more than the usual nine holes. The tropical-adventure styling, larger outdoor footprint and family orientation distinguish it from Puttshack and Swingers.

Current public information is less transparent than at several other venues in this guide. Stable pricing, full opening times, accessibility information and precise transport instructions are not all presented clearly enough to quote without qualification. Readers should therefore complete the booking journey and confirm the latest details directly before making a special trip.

Its outer-London location also means travel may account for more of the day than it would for a central course. That can be worthwhile for 18 or 36 holes, but less so for a brief spontaneous activity.

Pros

• Two full 18-hole courses
• Family-oriented adventure-golf format
• Longer playing experience than most central venues
• Suitable for groups wanting golf as the main activity

Best for: Families and groups prepared to travel for a longer adventure-golf outing.

What to confirm: Verify the entrance, parking or public-transport route, opening hours, weather policy and total ticket price before travelling.

Comparing mini-golf tickets properly

Two prices are comparable only when they cover the same course length and booking conditions.

Ask each venue to show:

• Nine or 18 holes
• Arrival or tee-off time
• Peak supplement
• Booking fee
• Child price
• Family ticket
• Second-course discount
• Group size
• Food or drink requirement
• Weather policy
• Cancellation terms
• Complete checkout total

A low nine-hole bar ticket should not be compared directly with a full outdoor 18-hole attraction.

Choosing between venue formats

Different formats suit different plans:

• Technology-led indoor golf: automatic scoring and short central sessions.
• Cocktail-led crazy golf: social atmosphere, food and late opening.
• Outdoor park course: daylight, open air and a broader park visit.
• Family adventure golf: longer courses and themed outdoor play.
• Multi-activity bar: golf combined with darts, shuffleboard or other games.

The most suitable venue depends on the group rather than one universal ranking.

Which course suits which type of visit?

Best for a first date

Puttshack and Swingers work well because a nine-hole game leaves time for food or another activity. Swingers has the more theatrical social setting; Puttshack offers clearer game technology and scoring.

Best for children

Putt in the Park, Dinosaur Safari and Lost Jungle are the strongest family choices. They operate as daytime attractions rather than primarily licensed bars. Check minimum ages and adult-to-child supervision rules.

Best for a corporate social

Puttshack provides automated scoring and established event packages. Swingers and Boom Battle Bar are also practical where food, drinks or multiple games are part of the plan.

Best for traditional outdoor play

Putt in the Park Battersea is the most accessible central option. Dinosaur Safari and Lost Jungle offer longer adventure-style courses but require more travel.

Best for nightlife

Ted’s Crazy Golf and Swingers suit groups who regard the bar and atmosphere as equally important as the course. Both apply stricter age rules later in the day.

Sensory environment

Indoor bar-led venues can use loud music, low lighting, flashing effects, fog and crowded waiting areas. Families and visitors with sensory sensitivities should ask whether quieter daytime sessions are available.

Check:

• Lighting
• Music volume
• Flashing effects
• Fog or haze
• Queuing
• Seating
• Escape routes
• Staff support

Outdoor courses may be calmer but can involve uneven surfaces, weather and longer walking distances.

Accessibility

“Wheelchair accessible venue” does not always mean every hole can be played without assistance. Ramps, narrow turns, raised edges and decorative obstacles may limit some courses.

Before booking, ask:

• Is every hole step-free?
• Is there an accessible route between holes?
• Are accessible toilets available?
• Can a wheelchair user play from an adapted position?
• Is seating available around the course?
• Are carers admitted free?
• Are flashing lights, loud music or fog effects used?
• Can a quieter session be arranged?

Swingers asks wheelchair users to contact the venue after booking so they can be allocated to the accessible course. Putt in the Park states that its venues are accessible but also warns that golf-course access may be limited for some mobility needs. Dinosaur Safari publishes free carer entry with a paying adult.

Outdoor-course planning

For Putt in the Park, Dinosaur Safari and Lost Jungle:

• Check the weather forecast
• Wear suitable footwear
• Confirm last tee-off
• Allow for wet surfaces
• Bring sun or rain protection
• Check whether food and toilets remain open
• Review refund or rebooking terms

Outdoor courses may continue in light rain but close where conditions become unsafe.

Booking and cancellation terms

Indoor venues commonly sell timed, non-refundable tickets. The time selected may represent arrival or check-in rather than the exact moment play begins.

Outdoor operators may cancel or shorten hours because of weather, waterlogging or low light. Check whether a weather cancellation results in a refund, credit or rebooking.

For group bookings, confirm:

• maximum players per tee time;
• whether the group will be split;
• how far apart tee times are;
• whether all players must arrive together;
• whether late arrivals lose their place;
• whether food packages require a minimum group size;
• whether one person can change or cancel separately;
• whether a booking fee is refundable.

Under-18 policies

London’s licensed indoor courses often change to adults-only venues in the evening.

Puttshack permits under-18s until 7pm, with a last tee time of 6pm; children aged 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Swingers provides family sessions before 6pm and requires golfers to be at least seven. Boom Battle Bar becomes over-18s after 7pm. Ted’s applies restricted family periods that should be checked at booking.

Do not assume that a child ticket means children are allowed at every session. Book the correct family slot and bring proof of age where requested.

Course etiquette and safety

Players should:

• Wait until the group ahead has cleared
• Keep putters below waist height
• Avoid stepping onto moving obstacles
• Supervise children
• Follow one-way routes
• Respect maximum group sizes
• Keep drinks away from putting surfaces where required
• Follow staff instructions

Venues may stop play where behaviour becomes unsafe.

Food, drink and alcohol

At bar-led venues, drinks may be carried close to the course, but rules vary. Excess alcohol makes putting less safe and can lead to refused entry or removal.

Outdoor family courses generally have simpler cafés or nearby park facilities. Putt in the Park Battersea has a clubhouse café and wood-fired pizza, while Dinosaur Safari operates within a wider golf activity centre.

Check allergy information directly with the food operator. Street-food traders and menus can change more frequently than the golf course itself.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a round take?

Nine holes usually take around 30–45 minutes. Eighteen holes may take 60–90 minutes, depending on the course, group size and people ahead.

Do I need golf experience?

No. Putters and balls are provided, and mini golf is designed for beginners. Outside clubs are often prohibited.

Can I walk in without booking?

Sometimes, but central venues frequently sell out at evenings and weekends. Outdoor courses may accept walk-ins subject to weather and capacity.

What happens if it rains?

Indoor venues continue normally. Outdoor venues may remain open in light rain but close in unsafe or waterlogged conditions. Check the operator’s policy before travelling.

Can a large group play together?

Usually not on one hole. Venues divide large parties into smaller groups with consecutive tee times. Dinosaur Safari limits a tee slot to five players, while other operators often use groups of four to six.

Is mini golf suitable during pregnancy?

It is generally a low-impact activity, but bending, standing and uneven outdoor surfaces may be uncomfortable. Ask about seating, steps and accessible routes.

Are there hidden booking fees?

Some venues add them. Putt in the Park states that its online prices exclude a 10% booking fee. Other operators show the complete charge during checkout.

Choosing with confidence

Puttshack Bank offers technology-led scoring, Swingers West End combines golf with food and carnival games, and Putt in the Park Battersea provides an outdoor park setting.

The Shoreditch Junkyard-to-Ted’s transition requires visitors to verify the current brand, courses and access rules. Dinosaur Safari and Lost Jungle provide longer family formats, while Boom Battle Bar works where mini golf is one element of a multi-game outing.

Choose according to format: nine or 18 holes, indoor or outdoor, family session or adults-only evening, and golf-focused attraction or bar with a course attached.
