Urban golf sounds contradictory — teeing off normally requires acres of open space.
But not when it comes to Urban Golf.
It’s an indoor golf simulator where you can hit a real golf ball as hard or as badly as you like, without the hassle of having to endure a long walk or wander through trees to find your ball.
There are 52 courses and the simulators are remarkably realistic.
Experienced golfers will notice a pull or slice will fly to the right or left of the giant screen in front of you, while beginners who fluff a shot will see the ball bounce lamely up the fairway.
There’s also a putting green and a bar.
Whether you’re a keen golfer wanting to have a whack without having to trek to a course, want a different night out with friends, or are a novice keen to learn the sport without losing ball after ball in the outdoors — this is the place to go. DANIEL LANDON
