Me & my mates used to play this when we were kids back in the late 70's. The playing field we used even had a wooded area and sand bunkers (for the school long jump) we had to avoid. Didn't go as far as making a dirty great big hole, we used an old dustbin lying on it's side.
Funny how it's now caught on as a sport........................
Looks a good laugh. Would be good for the daytime on a stag - mine's next year but we might be too far away from Croydon, we're going to central London.
While I think about it, anyone been to one of these?:
If anyone else has daytime ideas for a stag, let me know! Cheap as would rather not price people out of it, and would rather spend money on the beers than £100 at paintball, karting etc!
Urban golf is a laugh, but is absolutely nothing like real golf. Putting is a joke, the distances are all way, way off and it takes a lot longer than you would think, considering you're not actually walking between shots.

Good fun with a bunch of mates though.
Agree with that Leroy. Brilliantly a mate of mine actually managed to lose a ball at urban golf as well, which is nigh on impossible.

Sounds good - we're not golfers, just need something entertaining during the day on the Saturday while we're hungover to kill a few hours and recover before getting back on the beers!

Lmfao. That would be a legend that would never die if it happened to anyone in my regular fourball.
I enjoyed it but thats because u can swing away merrily over lunch time. Would be happy hitting it into a net actually and i think that applies to most. As leroy says, dont expect the simulators to accurately reflect ur shots
but good with a few beers sure and it's very reasonably priced

DOn't suppose you or anyone else knows roughly how long a round would take? 6 people per simulator doing Scramble, I think.
My friend has recently become the "Footgolf Regional Development manager" for the South East whatever that is! They will soon be 3 courses in Kent - Fokestone Sports Centre, Corinthians in Fawkham and Orpington Golf Centre (which I am attending a "top secret" test run for tonight.
It's a good laugh and takes around 2 hours to complete a round (18) You can also sign up go be a member and take place in competitions etc at courses around the south east.

Well over 3 hours - and that's without pissing about in between shots

We're there for 3! Might stick to the Par 3 9 hole course!
Did this one with the kids on Monday, got away with the weather except for the last 4-holes which were rather rushed. Managed a birdie on the 8th and think i got par on 1 or 2 others but otherwise got an appalling score, just pleased mne was marginally less appalling than the kids scores
Been twice so far, one in Orpington and one in Addington. Found the course in Addington to be far better. Longer distances as well as generally more challenging course.

I agree about Addington. They even have someone driving a golf buggy around the course selling beers!!
