A brilliant place to go with the family
We have been here a few times with the kids to play mini golf, football golf and used the driving range. It’s a great place. Lovely and clean. Staff are friendly and very helpful. There’s a good selection of alcohol, ice cream and food. I would highly recommend.
We love Hounslow Golf Park - we have visited many times since they opened and have enjoyed the adventure golf park, the driving range and foot golf. All the staff are very friendly, the cafe has plenty of options and we always have a great time.
Would love to give it a higher score, but one big issue needs fixing. The new membership options that kind of suck!! Pros - facilities good, prices fairly reasonable (expect the issue with the badly implemented memberships) and staff are fantastic throughout (reception, mini golf and cafe staff have always been friendly and helpful). Cons - decided I'd like to start attending more regularly and notice they now offer a membership scheme. The price is fairly reasonable but not designed to encourage members to bring visitors as you would expect (as this would generate more revenue) nor does it grow and change with the golfer. The range membership is single user bays only, so apparently if you want to bring friends or family member down to experience the place then you have to pay again to visit with them rather than just paying for more individuals on the bay. I don't get it, surely family and friends of members should be welcomed, not only would this mean more revenue as more people paying to play on the bay but it's also likely to mean more money spent in cafe too. It could be limited to members have to have a certain percentage of visits for single bay use as I appreciate this is what the membership is meant to encourage. But making member pay again to attend if they occasionally want to bring other people with them seems a little strange. The times I visit the place seems very quiet so I could easily have single user bay and request others who come along go on the next bay but that seems unnecessarily complicated simply to avoid paying twice to attend with others (both the monthly membership then again if you sometimes want to pay with others!! Also there is currently no way to change membership. I'm relatively new to golf so only interested in the range for now. However if I want to then change to the member that covers the course also I'd have to start again with a new membership. This means double joining fees and also that it's not possible to commit to the annual membership in case I want to change the membership level as my game improves. I really wanted the membership to work and hopefully this will be fixed at some point to make it worthwhile doing. For now I'll have to limited myself to 3 or less sessions a month to keep under the £30 cost of big hitter membership. Then I have the option to still take my kids along on and play with them without essential having to pay twice to visit simply because I want to introduce more people to the place!! I don't understand why they have a membership scheme that means it's better value to attend less! Other negative is the balls seem to be cleared very infrequently from the range. Therefore is common for your ball to hit one already on the range which affects where yours lands and so the final location may to reflect the actual shot itself. Also if you intend to play your whole hour booking then remember to factor in a further 22% on top of the range fee for parking. So the minimum cost will be £11 not £9. The website states "The first 30 minutes are free, and parking costs £1 per hour thereafter" but that isn't true, stay for over one hour and your will be charged for 2 hours even if you are there for less than 1.5 hours (the hour paid and the half hour "free" which isn't!!).
All fine apart of that when you order food in restaurant and you can’t finish you can’t take home either because don’t don’t do take away or not even any carton box… disappointing
Good, some of the staff need a bit of training in how to deal with customers. Having booked an hour slot, you can’t ask the customer to leave their bay after 50 minutes.
Good fun, clean enough and drinks not too expensive
Excellent little place with footgolf, pitch n put ,,36 hole crazy golf course and wildlife centre
This was fun. My nephew and I had a great time.
What a great way to spend an hour!! Never done golf before but decided to take my son for something different, we loved it, great easy set up, table service food and drinks, comfy seating area. Brilliant idea to hit balls and meet challanges via the computer generated info (golf balls have sensors in) Will be back very soon
