The team behind DJ's Play is launching a "retro" indoor mini-golf venue in St Albans promising something for everyone.
After buying out DJ's Jungle Adventure in St Albans 15 years ago, husband and wife team Helen and Mark Whittington have gone from strength to strength opening further locations in Hemel Hempstead and Berkhamsted.
In their latest venture the couple have gone for "something different", taking inspiration from the likes of Putt Shack and Boom Battle Bar with an independent twist.
DJ's Play Putt Mini Golf and Bar is set to open at noon on Monday (December 1) catering to families, couples and everyone in between.
"The course is for all generations, they'll be able to spend a happy couple of hours having a drink, something to eat and a round of golf," Helen began.
"It should be quite challenging, but also really accessible to everybody."
Complete with Play Putt branding and plenty of neon, the course features nine unique holes alongside a karaoke room and "street food" menu.
"Think loaded fries, pizza and nachos, and a full selection of alcoholic and soft beverages," Helen commented.
Since teasing the concept 10 weeks ago, the team have worked "tirelessly" to bring Play Putt to fruition with the couple utilising their skills.
Helen explained: "My husband Mark has dealt with most of the interior and building, he's painted everything black and managed all of the suppliers.
"My role has been more logistical, making sure that we're open on time and everything is in order."

"I'm ensuring that we launch on Monday - even if some bits are last minute," she joked.
Everyone who has helped out is being invited down on Monday to check out the golfing spot, with Helen extending a special mention to Myles, who's worked hard with Mark to bring the place to life, lead designer, Ceili, and Liv, the manager of both Play Putt and Play Jungle.
"We've got a great team behind the designs and visuals, everything has been created in-house from the logo to the wall-art," Helen added.
When asked why Play Putt will stand out she said: "It's and independent business, not a huge company, we have built up DJ's Play to different sites and hired people from the local area using all of their talents and skills.
"We want to work hard to bring something new to the St Albans community too."
Play Putt joins Rockin' Romans Golf in Verulamium Park and the newly opened Golfish off the North Orbital Road as the city's crazy golf spots - but it is the only indoor version.
Meanwhile, the Play Jungle nextdoor hosts a playground, café and laser tag. It also operates locations in Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead.
