London will be home to a new indoor Adventure Golf venue as Jungle Rumble sets up on Putney High Street.
My friend and fellow minigolf enthusiast Simon Dewhurst tipped me off about the course after he saw a banner advertising jobs at the course while down in London recently.
Jungle Rumble was one of the first brands to bring indoor minigolf to shopping centres in the UK. When our travels began in 2006 there were only two indoor courses - in Great Yarmouth and Felixstowe. There are now around 100 indoor courses, with more new places to play opening up in towns and cities every week.
The indoor Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf courses in Leeds are now lost courses.

The new course will replace the Peter Pan's Adventure Golf course on Madeira Drive.
We've also visited and played the other two Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf courses, with both the Bristol and Liverpool courses hosting British Minigolf Association tournaments in recent years.

I recently noticed that Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf has recently created a blog. You can check it out at "Jungle Rumble THE BLOG"
There are two Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf sites, each containing two 18-hole indoor miniature golf courses. One is in Bristol at the Cabot Circus Shopping Centre. When Emily and I visited the courses back in February 2010 they became the 161st and 162nd played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We were in Bristol preparing for the British Minigolf Association's BMGA English Open tournament that was taking place at Jungle Rumble.
