Grovelands Pitch & Putt Southgate: Mini Golf in London
Grovelands Pitch & Putt is a nine-hole pitch and putt course inside Grovelands Park in Southgate, north London. To be clear, this is short-game golf rather than mini golf or crazy golf, so if you came looking for windmills and ramps you want Broomfield Park instead. What you get here is a relaxed par-27 course on real grass, suitable for weekend golfers, families and anyone who wants to practise approach shots and putting without committing to a full round.
The most useful thing to know is that it is cheap and walk-in friendly. A round costs a few pounds, you can hire a club and ball on the day, and there is a small cafe for food and drinks plus a shop selling ice cream and snacks. It sits in a pretty park, so it doubles as an easy afternoon out.
What you actually get
This is a proper pitch and putt course, nine holes at par 27, laid out on grass in the corner of Grovelands Park. It is built for short-game golf: chipping, pitching and putting over modest distances, rather than the obstacle-course mini golf you might be picturing. That makes it forgiving for beginners and kids while still giving regular golfers a quick way to sharpen approach shots. If you specifically want crazy golf, the nearby Broomfield Park has mini golf instead.
Good to know
Prices are low, roughly £3.90 on weekdays and £4.90 at weekends and bank holidays, with cheaper rates for juniors (6 to 16) and seniors (60+).

There is a cafe for food and drinks and a shop selling ice cream and snacks.
