We had an amazing experience at the Golf Groove. We eloped yesterday and were looking to have a fun memorable experience with our friends after the ceremony. I am so happy that we went with Golf Groove because it has been the absolute best day! From the moment that we enquired about it, everyone has been extremely friendly and warm and helpful. The guy with the blonde hair has been the absolute nicest. On the day, everything was organized really well, Katie was an absolute angel. She was so attentive and managed everything amazingly for us. We got 3 golf bays and tried golfing and other games. There was a very nice and friendly guide who helped us through the games. He made the experience even more fun. The food was absolutely perfect! So delicious! We got some of the sharing platters and all of them were absolutely delicious, my personal favourite was the Salt and Pepper Squid. The place is also really spacious and beautiful, it’s really cozy. But the best part of the place is the customer service; Katie and Alex are the absolute best! I did not get everyone’s name but a very special thanks to each and everyone at Golf Groove for making this day special for us. We loved it! We will definitely be coming back and recommend Golf Groove to everyone we know!

We had our Christmas Do at The Golf Groove. The customer service was beyond exceptional. There was so much attention to detail. From greeting us on arrival with an envelope of organised drinks tokens as part of our package, giving training aid grips for those new to golf, the bar staff remembering orders making you feel like a true local… and just so much more. Food unreal, drinks great, golf a blast! We had a brilliant time and I’d recommend the Golf Groove to anyone!

Hidden Gem In Wimbledon!!! Great Atmosphere for any occasion, a date night or day out with the family and friends. The place is super cosy and the staff as really attentive, Alexandra was extremely helpful gave us all the help when we asked. They have a weekly chef special main I would have regretted if I didn’t decide to accept Alexandra advice to try it. They also have a weekly happy hours which makes a bonus for the ones who loves cocktails/ beers like me and my friends. Great experience! Definitely will be back

Unbelievable setup and has everything you’d want whether you’re a golf purist or just finding your way into the game. Shot analysis to work on your game and hundreds upon hundreds of famous golf courses to play. Perfect way to spend your lunch hour or to meet up with friends in the evenings or weekends. Super easy to book sessions and the Scratch team are always easy to reach. Highly recommend!

I was really impressed with PodGolf. The facilities are top-notch, and booking is simple and user-friendly. It’s fantastic to have access to so much shot data through Trackman. The wide range of courses adds variety, and the convenience of provided clubs—both right- and left-handed, high-spec Callaway options—is a big plus. At £45 per hour, it’s very reasonably priced, especially compared to similar venues in London that charge significantly more. Highly recommend!

I was looking for a place to practice this winter and came across PodGolf. Tried for the first time this week and loved it! Brand new Trackman sim with 2 screens, the perfect spot to work on my game and so convenient to get to from Wandsworth Town station! Top class facility and so easy to use/book

Rating: 5 / 5

Enjoyed opening day! Having used Trackman a few times before, this new setup was familiar but with some nice new features. The self-access with an emailed code worked smoothly. Great addition to the Padel Yard facilities!!

Rating: 5 / 5

Great set up and very easy to both book and use! We'll be back to work on our game and play some of the worlds most famous courses!

SGC is great. The customer service from Jacob is exceptional – he’s friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. The location is cool and is easy to access with free parking on site, the app is simple to use, and booking capacity is good. The membership options are also great, especially the off-peak one, which is excellent value and works for my schedule. The trackman tech is unparalleled. Overall, it’s a great place to practice in Wandsworth without having to travel out to a full course or range. Highly recommended!

Great indoor set up. Memberships are a reasonable price. Really good to have somewhere that is so easy to access with all of the tech and tools to help me work on my game. Would recommend this to any golfer looking for somewhere to practice.

Rating: 5 / 5

Perfect golf training set up. SGC has been great for an easy to get to and really well set up golf sim. The track man tech is accurate, easy to use and great for mixing up your training with games or just simply doing some target practice etc. There are two massive bays, a putting area and a couple of clubs on hand to mix it up. Customer service is brilliant, Jacob is super helpful and gets back almost instantly. So, any issues on-site or with membership he will get back to you in no time and get it sorted. Great for anyone Wandsworth or South West based who wants to get some practice in, doesn’t have to trek to a driving range and it’s reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Absolutely excellent experience and now a firm winter hang out to work on my game. Amazing customer service as soon as I signed up and my first trip was so easy. Let myself in using the instructions provided and found the facilities to be excellent with state of art technology. Will be where I work on my game during winter

Awesome mini golf experience unlike any other. The holes were fantastic and creative combined with some unique trivia questions. The customer service was great and the food was pretty good. We tried the bbq burger and the chicken sandwich and a few apps. Highly recommend this place for a good time if you’re in the area!

This is a great place for a fun round of golf with friends while enjoying some drinks. I went there during the week, so it wasn't busy, and we could spend quality time together without having to wait long for a game or our drinks. They also have storage options for your jacket and bags, so you can relax and enjoy yourself without worrying about keeping an eye on your belongings all the time.

We encountered the most wonderful waiter EVER!!! His name was REECE. He served us with the utmost humility and kindness! He should get the waiter of the year AWARD!! We should encourage such wonderful souls!!

Had a great time here - my first playing crazy gold and this such a nice venue! I appreciate the ambiance and the "tech" aspect added to the game to make it more exciting. Navigating around the courses was also easy thanks to the screens. Easy to get to as its just on the outside of Westfield White City - and a short 10min walk from White City Underground station.

Course is in great condition now and greens are at their usual best. You may even get a glimpse of the baby deer running around the 12th green. Bunkers are back to being nice and sandy

My husband and I had our Indian Pre Wedding event here, and we have nothing but positive feedback for the Hendon Golf Club team. To start, our requirements were met with ease, Malachy and his entire team were beyond accommodating and nothing was too much for them. Our guests were blown away with the event, and I truly believe that this is down to the venue. The views of the golf course from the decking area, which we used for our food service, allowed for guests to relax and enjoy their meal with great views. To the entire team at HGC, we thank you so much. Our event was everything we could've wished for, and more. We'd highly recommend booking the space for any events!

Hendon golf club was perfect venue for our events. The grounds gave a beautiful backdrop and the facilities were of high standard. Can’t thank the staff enough for being so helpful and amazing. Thank you very much for making both our functions very memorable.

Excellent golf club. Course is very well kept, well done the groundsmen! Fairways are lovely, been well watered so a joy to play even in the hight summer. Greens are very fast and challenging. The club house is very nice with a lovely view of the course. Staff are all very friendly and there is a very good choice of beers and spirits at the bar. Nice changing rooms clean and even a sauna. Really picturesque course couldn't find a fault definitely will be coming here again soon.

Great tricky course with great views and lovely friendly and helpful people run the the club it’s a hidden gem

Rating: 5 / 5

The most friendly of places to play golf and even the amazing view of the London skyline. Not a championship style course but one which is tricky to master

Rating: 4 / 5

Nice golf course with challenging par 3 and 4 holes. Plays longer in the winter and provides a challenge.

Rating: 5 / 5

Friendly, not busy and cheap membership by London standards. Although it's a 9 hole, it's a proper golf course with many holes needing a driver and mid to long iron to reach the green. Beyond that, it's quite nice that it's a nine hole, you can get round in an hour and a half and still have time for the rest of your life. The greenkeepers do a great job of keeping standards up on a relatively shoestring budget.

Lovely golf club. The best welcome committee I have ever had as an old guy with a white beard welcomes you at the car park entrance. Did not play the course as was working but looked tricky in the high wind of the day. But greens were manicured and the re wilding of some of the fairways looks good. Club house was old worlde but well maintained. Food looked good and the small shop on site well stocked. Coffee was amazing and cakes at the halfway house recommended. The date cake was lovely.

Rating: 5 / 5

The new course investment makes it the best course for miles. Seriously good now

Rating: 5 / 5

3rd time visiting and it's always a treat. Well worth the green fees. Highlights: pure quality of greens and overall course. Lowlights: £3.15 for a sausage in a dry bun along with the bar not being open until 11am (thus no breakfast!).

Rating: 4 / 5

Extensive and beautifully landscaped golf course that has opened its doors during lockdown to allow non-members to explore its rolling spaces. A secret oasis of green normally hidden from the public's eyes - lets hope it isn't closed off again for ever more when the lockdown ends.

What a beautiful setting. Great old country house now changed into a golf club and course. Loys of lovely original features. Very friendly and helpful staff. Many thanks for a great afternoon.

Wonderful oasis of a golf club in London. Superb club house. Golf course is good , quite flat. Greens a bit slow. The back drop of the club house makes it . Course a good parkland course. Short par fives. Food and bar delightful.Staff excellent

This golf course is absolutely amazing. I haven't been able to play yet but I've been up there a few times. The staff are all really nice and helpful. Foods also really really good 👍

Rating: 5 / 5

This could be my new favourite golf course. It seems the perfect London golf club offering variety, charm, challenge, and manicured greens. Lovely warm welcome from the pro shop on my first visit this morn. While I can get rounds for £28 I’ll keep coming!

Went to watch the Wimbledon Qualifiers here and they have really improved the experience since we came here pre-Covid. Keeping visitors away from players and officials worked better and meant that toilet facilities were much improved and choice of food and drink. Shaded areas with seating were also much appreciated. A fabulous experience and great value for money. Prefer this tournament to the main event!

Rating: 5 / 5

Amazing club that offers more than we could have every hoped for in a sports club. We can play golf, tennis and squash all in one place. We also like using the gym and the classes and the outdoor pool in the summer. The facilities for children are also incredible. Mini tennis courts and many play facilities. We can’t even imagine SW London life without Roehampton Club anymore!

Nice golf course. Clubhouse is pretty good too.

I have been treated very often (over many years) as a guest of a member to both the restaurant and cafe brasserie at RC. It’s always excellent. Really delicious food, great value, lots of good choices, well presented and just consistently tasty. Love coming here! Service is friendly and always welcoming.
