Nothing is more competitive yet fun than a game of mini-golf with your friends. The game works by taking it in turns, hitting the ball towards the hole with a tiny putter. The player that gets the ball in the quickest (with the least amount of shots) wins. Oh, I forgot to mention the ball may sometimes need to make its way through rotating windmills, red-hot dragons and treacherous jungles. Easy as pie! Here are 10 of the best indoor Mini-golf venues in the UK to really put you and your friends to the ultimate golfing test.
