Gloputt Mini Golf — Attraction in Devonport-Takapuna

This is, by far, the worst mini golf place I've ever been to. "But Scott," you protest, "you've given it 5 stars!" Well done, oh astute reader. I have, in fact, given 5 stars. Why? Because this dark, poorly made, poorly maintained mini golf cave in some alley in Auckland was the most fun I've ever had mini golfing.
