Dinosaur Escape is an 18-hole outdoor adventure golf course at the West London Golf Centre in Northolt, built around a prehistoric theme. Life-size dinosaurs are dotted across the holes, and some of them move and growl, which is the bit younger kids tend to remember. It suits families and groups looking for a low-key couple of hours rather than anything competitive.

The most useful thing to know: you do not need to book. Just turn up and play. Opening is from 9am with the last round one hour before sunset, so the closing time shifts with the seasons. A round runs around £8 to £12 a head depending on age, and dogs are welcome on the course. Allow anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours depending on how busy it is.

The mini golf setup

Eighteen holes laid out across an outdoor course with a dinosaur theme running through it. The dinosaurs are life-size, scattered between the holes, and a few are animatronic so they move and make noises as you play. It is not a tricked-out championship layout, it is a fun family round that most reviewers finish in good spirits. Pace varies with the crowd, so a quiet weekday is quicker than a busy weekend. The course sits within the wider West London Golf Centre, which also has a driving range and full-size golf.
