We played the Emerald course, which was packed with clever challenges, glowing obstacles, and that signature high-tech scoring that makes the whole thing feel a bit futuristic.
What I loved most was that you are not just wandering around putting, you are fully immersed in the game.

And the best part is that you can order drinks as you go, which only adds to the chaotic joy of lining up a shot with a cocktail in hand.
I should also proudly mention that I finally won, a rare and glorious achievement, and I absolutely did not let my partner forget it for the entire weekend.
Victory tastes even sweeter when paired with bragging rights.

For a London day out, it is surprisingly affordable too.
Mini golf in the capital can easily drift into tourist trap territory, but Puttshack manages to keep things accessible without losing any of the atmosphere.
It also felt genuinely family-friendly, with groups of all ages laughing, competing and snapping photos.

Whether you want a laid-back afternoon or a lively night of friendly rivalry, it really does tick all the boxes.
Because we visited during the festive season, the whole venue was decorated for Christmas with twinkling lights, seasonal decor and a playlist filled with all the classics.
Tee’s the Season is not just a slogan here, it genuinely feels like a winter celebration.
Puttshack’s Christmas specials add even more to the vibe.

The Winter Bellini, a peach and pear blend topped with Prosecco, tasted like Christmas in a glass, and the Christmas Spritz looked so good it demanded a photo before I even tried it.
From the kitchen, The Winter Stack burger was a highlight, rich, messy and layered with truffle garlic mayo, cranberry sauce, gorgonzola and caramelised onions.
Proper festive comfort food.
What also impressed me was how well Puttshack caters for different types of outings.

If you are planning a work Christmas party, their packages and private areas look ideal.
Families are sorted too, especially with Kids Eat Free running from 19 December until 5 January which is a real help during the school holidays.
From the energy on the course to the seasonal treats and winter-themed prizes, Puttshack gets the balance of fun, food and festivity just right.
Whether it is a date, a family trip, or a night out with friends, I left feeling like I had found one of London’s best Christmas activities and with a win I will be reminding my partner about for a long time.
