Danny, you got a booking ?
I went along when I was in London on a course and just turned up. It's just a normal looking office building/warehouse up a side street. Needless to say no appointment no golf
I'm back up there again soon, so this time will book based on your feedback

He's talking socially.
Urban golf was great fun, a little pricey, but if you like your technology and golf, then its a good place to visit.
Me and my mate Nick played 9 holes from pebble beach, took us about an hour.
The best bit is the game is set up for 10ft gimmes on the greens, the guy there said putting was very difficult, I still managed to hole a 16 footer. The reading of your shots is very accurate, and the graphics are superb. The only draw back for me were the clubs you have to use. The woods were ping G5's and I couldn't get on with them. They had driver down to 7 wood, the the irons started from 5 down. so ended up teeing off with the 5 iron. Now I'm not sure if they had any longer Irons to use, or some Woods with stiff shafts, I think that would have made it a lot better for me.
The staff were very helpful, always making sure you always had a fresh beer, at �4.50 for a bottle of grolsch, that's not surprise [sorry northies, only bottled larger].
I think the bigger the group, the more fun you'll have, because the banter would increase, and you need longer than an hour, takes you about 20 mins to get used to the system.
Cost us about �20 each, for an hours use of the simulator, and 2 bottles of beer each.
Good fun, but not the place to go for a serious round of golf. Im up there again in a few weeks with my bro in law and 12 of his mates, that should be fun.
