As much as the experience is great fun, it takes a long time to get to that point, this time it was a four hour wait before we got to play, which is insane. I get that the idea for them, at least, is so make you sit around so you spend more money (great business plan), but four hours to play two games... The chilli cheese dog was awful, red in skin so closer to a savaloy, and the chili wasn't great. I ordered a 2 pint stein, of which they'd apparently run out of yet hadn't mentioned it to me and then served two single pints. Tater tots were decent though. All in all, I like the idea and it's great fun but waiting around that long, alongside the prices of drinks (pretty much London prices) such as 6.20 or so for a pint, plus terrible food, isn't s great experience. *Updated review* We went back as some friends were down and it was an even worse experience and we'll never be back. Pushy service which we then noticed service charges - it's not a posh upscale restaurant, how can you justify a service charge? The food again was average to bad, spicy Mac and cheese was awful and not spicy, tater tots were lukewarm and soggy, wings were fine but not listed as spicy (they are slightly), the burger my friend got was poor and dry. To add to this, they didn't clean and take away plates and glasses for over an hour. We then proceeded to wait 4 and a half hours before getting into a lane, along the way, we got to 1 at in the queue where we waited 45 minutes and saw numerous people go ahead who were further back in the queue... All because they had kids. I don't think breaking the rules because people choose to bring kids down late on a Saturday is very fair on the people who've been there since before 4pm, it was 8.30pm at this point. I was told (which I knew) if you want to get in quicker, book a slot, but that comes at a cost of £39.99, and that doesn't include any games, food or drinks. I then had security speak with me as I was getting agitated and say, well I'm here to 3AM, after I said we'd been there since before 4pm. Honestly, that's not a great response and insulting. You chose this job, not me, it's not my problem you're there until 3am, if you're unhappy, change jobs? Literally, it's nothing like this at the one I'm Las Vegas which I've visited numerous times now. I would avoid this place like the plague, unless you like wasting money and valuable hours of your life. We'll never be back. read more

I had a fantastic time with some mates at Topgolf, this is a brilliant concept where young and old can hit some balls while having some beers and food. I would definitely consider coming back. However there are some downsides which leads me to give Topgolf only three stars: - the wait: we came on a Saturday afternoon and had to wait 4 1/2 hours. 4 and a half hours!!! Since we pre-paid our session and there was a sports-bar showing football, we waited but really... - the food: the menu looks super attractive since I am a big fan of traditional American sports bar food (wings, burgers, nachos). However, all the dishes we had were mediocre at best. Even something simple as loaded nachos were just meh. - the service: the service in their bar was extremely slow, I guess we had plenty of time but the staff was also unaware of the menu. I asked for a Peroni beer and even pointing at it on the menu was not sufficient for the waitress, she asked me to spell it for her sjeesh. So bottomline, the main attraction: the driving range is super fun and good entertainment but the bar is below par (pun intended hehe). read more

I spent a Saturday afternoon here for a round of miniature golf, or Adventure Golf as they call it. 18 holes of pure competitive goodness. It's not the best miniature golf course I've seen, but it does the job. It's £4 for adults and £3 for kids, a really cheap activity to help pass the time. You don't need to be a TopGolf member to play the Adventure Golf course, although members do get 50p off. They have 44 covered bays for the driving range and each golf ball you use has a computerized microchip that tracks your shots accuracy and distance...how cool is that?! I'm definitely going back to have a whack at that some day. They have a full bar and café for food and drinks as well, although I didn't sample any of that. read more

Think 10 Pin bowling in Plus Fours with a beer in one hand. Confused? Essentially it is a driving range where each ball is individually chipped so that you know how far you hit it. The target field is a series of holes in which you can score points adding an element of competition to the occasion. Positives: - Fun, social game - Easy to use and even non golfers can join in with ease - Drinks & Food available whilst you play - Heaters in each bay! - Nice venue, clean and well positioned Negatives: - The cost can be prohibitive - especially as guests have to "join" even for a one off visit. read more

Have you ever been out bowling on a Friday night with some friends and thought to yourself "what else is there where I can get drunk and hit things without getting arrested?" well if you have then get yourself down to a Top Golf centre! A concept dreamed up across the pond (where else!), Top Golf is a great place to go and have a few drinks with your friends whilst you hit the crap out of some golf balls and in the spirit of competition declare one of you the winner at the end of the night. Now I'm not really that into Golf so initially when this idea was suggested I wasn't very interested to say the least but after my first visit I was hooked and have been here many times ever since. I can't say the liquor didn't help but it's a lot of fun. As you walk in there's basically a bar and a driving range and a waitress will come round to take your drink orders. There's many different options for membership but you can just pay per basket of balls and rent some clubs for a few pounds. The cool thing is that the balls have trackers so you check on the screen how far your ball went after you drunkenly hit the crap out of it so you can get some scores taken against your friends as you would do at bowling. Don't worry if you've never been before. You don't really need to know how to play golf to do well so as long as you've had practice in the past with a baseball bar, cricket bat or are just good at hitting stuff then I'm sure you'll do fine! The best part is they have a fully stocked bar and even offer a range of the usual fast food so the waitress will keep the drinks coming and your biggest problem will become trying to stand up and just hit the ball. As long as you aim for the middle one you'll do fine! read more

Arrived and surprised at how spacious it was inside. Nice setup with bar, dining area and then golf range at back. Was a little shocked by the mandatory card purchase on top of the play price. The lifetime card and 4 games for £20 is a good deal. But if you're only playing 1 or 2 games and won't likely go back again you gotta suck it up and pay the extra for the card. Should probably consider a paper ticket rather than actual card as I think it's a waste and bad for environment once you're done with it after the sesh. Anyways the top golf is immensely fun and always a laugh poking at the person who doesn't know what they're doing! (i.e. Me!) Good date spot for couples and accommodating for big groups. Also warning on the salad! Check my pic read more

Fantastic fun for the part time golfer or chance to release the Happy Gilmore in you. Remember late nights sipping on pints as you let a ball fly off into the distance. Thanks to the plexiglass behind the booths on the top floor there is a slight worry not to let go of the club when swinging back. Of course if you're an amateur and easily embarassed, prepare to get a ribbing from fellow mates as your score is displayed on a massive screen above the reception :D read more

This was always fun, but since the little refurb they've had, the bays are much better - more relaxed and comfortable, stylish as well. At first when they introduced their new no-booking policy, we were very skeptical, but it seems to be working well, as since it started we've only waited once for a bay and that was for only about 10 minutes read more

Not the place for the serious golfer wishing to practice although it is fun for a family to go a mess around with a golf club and may encourage some young talent. Crazy golf course there as well. Well stock pro shop but the bar/food service as well as quality are very poor read more

Great place to visit, feels very American which personally I quite like. It's a bit expensive and the queues can be very very long if you chose to go at the wrong time! read more

I've played here with my Bro a few years back and I beat him. It's the kind of game where you don't have to be good at golf to be good at the game. Very enjoyable but as you're a captive audience catering isn't cheap. A lot of fun and well worth checking out if you're in the area. P.S. Kudos to Tom (Owner) for following up and asking what he could do to make it better there! (May 2012) read more

Always fun to go and hit a few balls here. But best to book at peak times, otherwise u will have to drink pints, perform the burger challenge and play some crazy golf on ur head. Entertaining golf games by the Americans to keep you enticed even if ur not reaching the lofty heights of being a pro. Great novelty factor and waiting to head back for some summer and winter fun. read more

A great place for family fun and its hugely entertaining and addictive. Golf not your thing?Take tine out and let dad take the lead on this while you enjoy a bottle of wine in the cafe. read more

If I had to describe it, it's like bowling(!) A driving range which can cater for approximately 40 games at once. There are huge holes scattered around the field and the aim is to hit your ball into theses holes for points - the closer to the centre of the hole the more points you get. You also get to tag your ball so it will tell you exactly where it has gone. It's good fun, but can be pricey depending on the time you go down. read more

The thing i like most about top golf is that it is for everyone. People there are of all levels because it is not you average driving range. With a micro chip attatched to every ball and giant holes to aim for, you recieve points for everball you get in. So not always does the best golfer win, it's the person with the most points! With heating on each bay it makes playing even better. Once you finish playing you can sit down for some food and drink, while playing a game of pool or running around in the arcades. All in all good family fun. read more

Im not a massive golf fan but my partner is. Top Golf is the nearest place for him to go. He loves the fact that you can judge how you are doing because of it scanning the golf balls but when i have been there are always sooo many balls out there that mine bounce off others read more

used too go here all the time, quite improved. even if you are no good at golf, i still enjoyed it! and they have heaters incase it gets cold :P x read more

I'm hooked. Went on a Monday inset day to bond with my 9 year old. He thrashed me. Loved the microchips in the balls keeping track of your score and displaying he distance of your shots on the computer screen. A tad pricey as for £10 we got 20 balls each so ended up playing 2 games. The range is undercover with heaters as exposed to the elements. Food wise I had some tasty bean loaded skins, dough balls (bit over done) and kids meal deal. Good value. Will definitely come again and recommend. read more

It's a good place to have fun and chill out, a bit too expensive for me. But good for a family gathering!

We waited for 2 hours and still didn't get a bay. When the staff were asked why they simply gave one word answers and shrugged us off. Very disappointed. read more

Great fun for all abilities and ages. I take my kids here on weekend. Much more fun than a regular driving range. There is a bar and serve food. Recently refurbished. They have changed it recently that you can not book a slot in advance which is a bit of a pain. There is also a golf shop there, but they do provide you with golf clubs if you do have your own. read more

For some reason you have to have ID to get in on a Saturday night, ridiculous! It makes sense that you would be asked at the bar but it's just a driving range, I'm 20 years old and me and my friends were turned away because I didn't bring my ID to play golf it just doesn't really make sense to me, and it has put me off the place really read more
