Anyone inspired by Justin Rose winning the US Open last month can now test out their putting and chipping skills at a new mini-golf course in Wandsworth Park.

The new 12 hole "Putt in the Park" course, which is next to the park’s café, was opened on Friday offering parents and children a great new leisure activity in this popular riverside space.

The dozen putting greens, some with their own mini-bunkers and water features, have been laid out in a newly-landscaped area that was previously occupied by a disused bowling green.

The bowling green was closed in 2004 when facilities in nearby King George’s Park, including the toilets, were refurbished and upgraded.

A round costs from £5 and the course is now open every day from 10am to dusk.
