It’s my first time golfing and I am so glad I found Steve. He’s the best coach I’ve ever had in my entire life because he’s just that supportive. Since it’s my first time golfing, I had absolutely no clue and I was also feeling quite awkward making the big swings, especially when I missed. But every time, Steve continuously reassured me to keep trying and keep trying. Overall, he makes our lessons relaxing but informative. He makes golfing really fun and makes it look less scary:) I can see that he really cares about each of his students. He’s hands down the best coach you can ever find.

Steve was fantastic throughout the rapid fire lessons that I needed. He didn’t make me a pro in 5 lessons, but he did give me the confidence I needed to go out and have fun on the course! Would definitely advise using Steve if you are in the need of some tips! Thanks again Steve!

I had another great experience here with great food and world class instruction with Steve Smith. Steve is an excellent “coach” who helps to keep the game much more simple and enjoyable. If you struggle with too many swing thoughts, he can provide you with an improvement plan with practice drills and videos.

Wow, what can I say! My 4 day golf program with Steve was phenomenal! He is an outstanding golf coach! I completely reset my game and feel so much more confident on the course now. This program 100% sets you up for success. It was completely worth the trip from Australia to attend the London Golf School. I cannot wait to upgrade my skills even more when I return to London. Thanks so much Steve! You are a legend!

Have now had a few lessons at Project Golf with Quintin VdB. His relaxed and friendly approached to coaching has seen my swing improve in leaps and bounds, over a relatively short space of time. Compared to other instructors in London it has been night and day and offers great value to beginner/intermediate golfers. Trackman technology at the bays gives you all the stats you could ever want on every swing.

Rating: 5 / 5

The technology is phenomenal. I went with a mate and used the driving range mode and played a few holes. High quality clubs and we were provided with complimentary soft drinks. Great place to have a swing in central London

Hands down the best golf facility in London. + Best professionals (advanced PGA - the only two are here) + Best facilities - this is not a bar or bowling alley vibe. It is dedicated towards golfing excellence. Every single detail is spot on and has been geared around developing your golf game through lessons and intelligent practice. Their tech is cutting edge. + Best prices - unlike other pricing, which is set around a small elite, they have kept their pricing competitive for the City; if you live or work near here, this will be the most cost-effective place for you to develop your golf. + Friendly, fun atmosphere. Very chilled out vibes, welcoming beginners to competitive golfers who want a place to hit some balls and get their stats.

Loving this new place. Best place to practice and improve your golf in the city. Very friendly environment with a great team. The technology and ability to monitor your game is second to none. Quality of coaching is excellent - have been training with Chris for more than 6 years. If you play golf i highly recommend you pop in to check it out

Quint is the best. I quit golf for years and when I moved to London I wanted to try to get back into it. My game was a mess and after working with quint the last year or so my game has improved dramatically. He is patient and fun coach to work with. I highly recommend!

Rating: 5 / 5

I can't recommend Quint enough! His vast experience and deep understanding of the game have truly transformed my golf skills. By leveraging the latest technologies and providing tailored insights, he helped me shave 5 strokes off my game this year alone. Whether it’s refining my swing or improving my course strategy, his guidance has been invaluable. If you're looking to take your game to the next level, Quint is the coach you need!

Rating: 5 / 5

Quintin is an excellent coach. I have been having lessons periodically and my golf and ball striking has improved dramatically. He uses technology when needed, but can equally explain potentially complex movements in very simple terms which makes it easier to take away and work on after lessons. He seemingly fixes problems almost instantly, and then gives you takeaways to keep them away - I’d highly recommend his services and having had sessions elsewhere previously I can say he’s definitely a cut above.

Rating: 5 / 5

Working with Quintin over the last six months has been an absolute game-changer for my golf swing and overall performance on the course! His expertise, knowledge and personalised coaching methods have taken my game to a whole new level. Quintin has an incredible ability to break down complex techniques into manageable steps, making it easy to understand and apply. His commitment to my progress has not only improved my swing but also boosted my confidence. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, Quintin’s approach is tailored to suit your individual needs. Beyond his technical understanding, Quintin’s enthusiasm and genuine passion for the game are truly infectious. Every session is filled with motivation, encouragement, and clear goals. I’m grateful for his unwavering support and am excited to continue this journey under his guidance. If you’re serious about improving your golf game, look no further than Quintin. He’s not just a coach; he’s a mentor who genuinely cares about your success. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend Pitch as a unique experience, the atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly and the staff are so friendly and welcoming, I am a beginner at golf and was not very confident but that really was not a problem at Pitch all levels are welcome Thank you Roger and Alini for giving me the confidence to join in

Rating: 4 / 5

It’s a nice place. The staff were friendly. The drinks are nice too. We were missing some irons. Would have been nice to have a few more options in terms of equipment to use. Booking is definitely recommended.

Had a great time with 2 hours of golf with my Dad. Great experience with that Trackman technology. We were able to do 18 holes and fantastic food and drink. Will return!

Rating: 5 / 5

A great idea with British weather to keep up with my golf. I highly recommend Pitch for a catch up with friends, cocktails by Roger are delicious. I will be using Pitch regularly.

Rating: 5 / 5

I have been a member for a couple of years and seen a huge improvement in my golf. The Trackman technology is a hugely helpful teaching tool - allowing real-time visual and statistical feedback. The instructors know how to use it to achieve the best results. Best of all, the location is easy and quick to get to on public transport, with clubs available to use or the option to store your own at the location. That means it's easy to practice, even on dark Winter nights. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great facilities for golf practice or having a lesson. I applaud the absence of a bar as this means no rowdy office events, it's serious golf only whether a beginner or a low handicapper.

Came to London for holiday and decided I should get my first ever proper club fitting for my whole bag excluding the putter. Booked it atleast a month prior and gave all my details because I couldn’t bring my set while on holiday. Was 100% satisfied with what I got by the end of the 2hr session. Jamie was very helpful and knowledgeable on fitting. Nice enough to make sure I was comfortable and warmed up and after, I really felt i was swinging naturally even though I’ve been on holiday for 2 weeks and haven’t swung my clubs in almost a month. All in all, really felt like I have one part of my game sorted out and now to work on my swing without worrying about my clubs. Thank you Tee Box London!

Rating: 5 / 5

Incredible place for golf in central London! I was a member for about 4 years, and Tee Box helped me get through the tough winter golfing months, as well as gave me some incredible lessons to improve my consistency. I couldn't recommend Harry and the Tee Box team more!

Rating: 4 / 5

A golf course with a tale of two halves - The first half is a short but tight track with no real stand out holes apart from maybe the 2nd which has a tight and blind tee shot. From home 9 onwards the track really comes into it's own. The fairways and greens were in great condition with only a few dry patches around some areas. I played during a twighlight time and the course was relatively quiet. Would play again.

Rating: 4 / 5

Really lovely course, well kept. Would of given 5 stars if bunkers were proper sand. Most are dirt. Very challenging course, narrow fairways. Greens are perfect. They spray them to make them look extra green. Very hilly course so you have to be fit if walking! Buggies available. Good choice of food extensive menu. Staff all round are friendly and helpful. Definitely be playing here again.

Visited as a guest at a wedding reception. What a fantastic venue! Great facilities, attentive staff and situated in an idyllic setting with great views over Epping Forest. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great course, not too long and not too narrow, but still a decent challenge, especially if you don't get your drive away or if you don't know your yardages with your irons. Greens in decent shape given that we played towards the end of October after a week of rain. Good little hut serving bacon/sausage baps and hot/cold drinks. Great views of the ever growing London skyline from the holes at the highest point of the course (and the club house). Also saw a giant mushroom! 😀

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

This is an absolutely gorgeous place! Somehow affiliated with Canada the place features more beaver 🦫 figures and impressions than I've ever seen (including one on the club's arms). Beautiful greens, relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff - a worthwhile experience! Their Pro Shop offers a nice selection of golfing tools and attire, too

Rating: 5 / 5

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!

I finally got to play Highgate after winning a voucher at a charity golf day at my own club. Really worth the wait as was really impressed. Four of us played and had the best stableford comp we'd played for a while, all scoring really well. The course was in brilliant condition especially in comparison to the courses I've played recently that are struggling with keeping the fairways green with the heat and lack of rain. The greens and aprons where fantastic and the interesting topography made the course so much fun to plot around. I really liked the way you have a cross over of a few of the holes with this almost communal Plato adjoining them all made it really unique. After we finished our round we enjoyed a nice gin cocktail made from locally sourced Gin and did the usual assessment of the course and of course the round and the unanimous feed back was an amazing course we all wanted to get back play at the next opportunity.

Is so beautiful 😍 but I love the one time to play. I love too Lerner

Vibrant and friendly community, matched by equally superb golf.

Rating: 5 / 5

I joined a few months ago, and the experience has just been fantastic! I didn't know anyone there, but has since gotten to know so many members, most of whom have been members there for 10+ year. It's just such a friendly community, and such an impressive collection of people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. The staff as well really make an effort to know everyone, which actually does make a difference. There's plenty of competitions and social events to get involved in, so I'm playing a lot more than I initially planned to... The fees I should say are very reasonable as well, compared to some other clubs I've inquired to. They have special rates for young professionals and students, so it's really worth a visit.

What an incredible place in London! Staff was so kind and attentive, the whole experience felt very personal and the atmosphere was great! We were a group of 4 to play crazy golf and arcade games in Shoreditch. Mini golf was a blast - great music, not busy (even on a Saturday). It truly is a gem, and I can't wait to come back! In addition to arcade games and crazy golf they have loads of board games, so it's a 10/10 😊

Rating: 5 / 5

Really fun mini golf, good use of space. Staff were very friendly and the arcade games were good fun.

Rating: 5 / 5

It's not a massive place. But it is a great chillout spot if you want a family-friendly fun night out. There is a good selection of board games (sadly some parts were missing from the connect 4, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the game), there is a pool or snooker table, (sorry I dont know the difference), there are some arcade games, and some other games. Also, you can buy drinks at the bar as well as a hot dog. Fortunately, the surrounding area has lots of places to eat if you fancy something more. We left with our game tokens, went out for a local Vietnamese, and then returned to continue our fun filled night.

Rating: 5 / 5

We were planning to come here for Crazy Golf but ended up playing on the pool table for the evening and ordering in dominos for good measures! Sunday afternoon / evening is a great time to come here. Peaceful and not particularly busy, nice way to spend a Sunday. Would highly recommend coming here if you want something not so full on. Good location, ideal before a night out also I reckon too! Solid A***** LDT x

My son and I tee'd off at 5pm. Perhaps the most challenging course to date, high handicapers should carry a dozen spare balls. Accuracy is rewarded, everything else is penalised by this course. Keep eagle eyes on your ball as fairly easy to lose in the rough. Perfect manicured fairways and fast undulating greens. We decided not to look for more than half a minute for our balls. Still could play only 14 holes before darkness. 1 birdie, two pars, and rest unmentionable for each of us.

Rating: 5 / 5

Seve designed. Played here quite a few times and it remains one of the toughest golf challenges you can get! Every hole and indeed every shot has to be hit well or it will cost you shots. Greens are perfect...very undulating and as quick as any you've played. Loads of water and it all is in play. It will beat you up if you give it a chance, and can even if you don't! Well worth a visit. Club house lovely and views of "S" last green breath taking.

Rating: 4 / 5

The course itself is famous for having been designed by Seve Ballesteros and for having 6 of each of the par 3's, 4's & 5's. It is a challenging parkland course with a lot of water hazards strategically placed with the first hole being a medium length par 3 with the green protected with a pond at the front and sides. That fact kind of sets you up nicely to know what's coming for the rest of the round. The course itself was beautifully maintained with the fairways being pretty immaculate and cut into some interesting slopes amongst the trees. I was very fortunate to be able to play this course the day before a PGA qualifying event. The greens had been cut and ironed and had that crunch feel that you get when your shoes break the surface almost like walking on a frosty puddle. To say they were fast was an understatement and they were very consistent giving a very even roll. I played from the Diamond (White) tees and found it to be quite a long course. The course flows beautifully never having that up and back feel and is cut into the contours of the land giving a great variety of tee shots and approaches. There were only two draw backs to my mind. The rough was brutal and combined with the water means that any errors were punished severely, so a good supply of balls is advisable. Also like a few other courses I have played, there are electrical lines crossing part of the course, here being a par 3. So I got a free reload having struck my tee shot beautifully and hitting a wire, but that didn't really make up for the lost ball and second, not so great strike, at the same hole. The course does offer some great views of itself from the tees and the way it cuts through various copse means that considered play is essential. The club house was very nice with plenty of pictures of Seve to admire. It is definitely one that i would like to play again and would do so on a regular basis with the undulations and water providing a variety of challenges.
