However, that can make it a little trickier to get to, and bear in mind any taxi rides if you are tempted by the decent value green fees. I often use a course in Balham which is more easily accessible, but the quality of this course means i will probably be back again. There is also a small food/drinks area which serves an essential cold beer from the tap : )

Even though I really enjoy this public golf course the fact that I had to wait at least 30 minutes for each tee is a downside I just can't deal with. As Derek said it is rather impossible to find your game rhythm when each round exceeds 5 hours.

It was reasonably priced and we enjoyed our lessons. You can go on the range, have a drink in the bar or play 9 or 18 holes. Worth a visit and much cheaper than a Golf Club.

The course, however, is dire. Nine badly designed and maintained holes makes it not worth the money. if you want a round go to Silvermere instead for the same money.

A flat park, with lush green fields, perfect for ball games, flying model airplanes, picnics in summer etc There is a large lake with many ducks who just love to be fed your scraps of bread! Great for the kids There are several intersecting paths for leisurely afternoon strolls, a football club, tennis club, and even a clubhouse cafe for a lazy afternoon of tea and cake. The thing I like about this park is that it isn't really big enough to get lost in, and you can see where you are (for bearings) at all times, because it's flat, unlike Wimbledon Common. Just make sure you don't go off track and end up on the adjoining golf course! There is no way out once you find yourself in and the golf club members don't take too kindly to 'Sunday walkers' getting in!

You realize right away when you enter that this isn't a normal mini-golf course! From the dressed up people, the drinks flowing and the fun and creative course - you are in for a good time! Food is available from lots of little kiosks but be prepared for a decent wait for that or your drinks even with their mobile order system. You can take your drinks on the course (and get refills!) which is fun - but it also means that drink glasses are all over if the staff is behind in picking them up. The biggest negatives are feeling herded through the course quickly and very loud drunk people. But overall it's worth the visit!

We enjoyed snacking on Mexican grub there, such as tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and chips and guac.

Overall a cool place to enjoy an activity or just hang with friends.

At…read morea time of the year when social lives revolve around festive drinks and parties, it's good to get off your bum and do something active. Well, ok, you're hitting a ball at a screen so not walking too far, but at least you're standing up and moving your arms... However, it's not easy. I've not played golf much and this activity requires some level of technique above 'aim and hit'. For a start, you have real clubs so you have to know what the benefit of each number is. Secondly, if you're not very good like me, then your ball will either go into a lake, a sandpit or nothing at all and you will get more shots. This means the embarrassment lasts longer as you take more and more shots to achieve the same distance that your better playing friend hit in one. I also liked the central location as it's inside High Street Kensington Tube station. There's a full bar inside so you can drink while you play, hoping it might relax you into being a better player. Low marks come from the fact that it's more expensive than bowling (£50 per simulator per hour at weekends). For that price, I'd rather bowl as you can get away with throwing hard and a bit of luck, whereas Urban Golf is more technical.

The interface of the simulator is confusing at first but when you realise how it works is easy. Before that I don't even know "the rules" or how to hit the ball properly (well, I still don't know), it was my very first time playing golf (realistic golf, I mean) and it was way too hard, so I think it should be a really good simulator.
