Mini-Golf at Puttshack Bank

Our experience at Puttshack for dates and even double dates has been great! Puttshack is a mini-golf venue located in London that offers a unique and fun experience for visitors of all ages. With its high-tech and interactive course, Puttshack combines the classic game of mini-golf with the latest in gaming and entertainment technology. It had a few branches across London but we love the Puttshack Bank branch. It is very accessible and lit. It literally has a direct entry from the Bank Tube Station!

The venue features multiple game sections and a variety of holes, each with its own unique challenges. In addition to mini-golf, Puttshack Bank also offers a full bar and dining menu, making it a great destination for a date night. 

It’s a great place for a date because of its social, fun and  lighthearted atmosphere. Mini-golf can provide an opportunity for fun, laughter, and playful competition, which can be a great way to break the ice if you’re on a first date,  spend time together and get to know each other better. Whether you’re a seasoned mini-golf pro or a beginner or have never played mini-golf before, Puttshack Bank is the perfect place to have a great time and enjoy a unique twist on this classic game.
