Swingers Golf

/in /by

There’s quite a few golf pop ups in London and Swingers is one to take note of, as it incorporates drinking into the mix too! Swingers is a crazy golf venue that is located both in the city and also located in London’s west end. To show how crazy this venue is there is only a limited amount of walk up tickets available to punters. For the most part, it is a booking only venue, so make sure you book your tickets to avoid disappointment! One thing to note is that Swingers is an 18+ venue as there is alcohol served on the establishment.

Swingers is a crazy golf club that turns the traditional crazy golf ideology and turns it on it’s head. It has regular crazy golf of course, but it also has street food available to it’s punters and amazing drinks to create one incredible social experience.

Swingers: Venue

It is based on a 1920’s golf-club that was set in the bucolic English countryside. Step into the secret world of old-school clubhouses and enjoy the lush greenery and foliage around the holes. So it’s just like the heart of English countryside, right in the heart of the urban landscape of London’s cityscapes.  Swingers covers a HUGE amount of square feeterage, 16,000sq footage to be exact.

Within this area there are

  • 2 bespoke nine hole crazy golf courses (lighthouse and windmill)
  • Five cocktail bars
  • Three street food vendors
  • Clubhouse with gin terrace
  • Even nightly DJ’s!

This crazy golf venue is definitely is a lot of fun and it’s unlike any other crazy golf experience that we have done before.

Disc Golf

Disc Golf – A unique, exciting sport!

/in /by

Disc Golf is a sport that requires a player to throw a frisbee into a target at a distance in front of them. Most of all the rules of Disc Golf is similar to golf and played on courses of 9 or 18 holes or targets. As a result, players throw frisbees from a tee towards a target in the distance. Throwing multiple times once the frisbee has landed and so forth until the player reaches the target. Therefore as with golf, the player with the lowest number of throws wins the hole.

Disc Golf – The Courses

With 35,600 members of the PDGA worldwide, Disc Golf isn’t as niche as you think!

Average courses range from 200-240ft per hole. Courses are harder to complete with obstacles put in players way. Including many trees, bushes, elevation changes and out of bounds zones amongst others. Also to not drive players of different ability levels, many courses include various tee and target positions.

Played in more natural and less cleaned environments Disc Golf is different to the clean cut Golfing environment. Since safety is paramount to course designers to minimize the risk of being hit by a disc!
