Bck Yrd Golf Reviews Summary

Value for Money

Pros:

• "For full transparency, I booked through Groupon, and for two people to play one round, it cost about £8. Which for what it was I felt was good value."
• "This place deserves better reviews!! Such good value for money, The staff are lovely and so helpful."
• "Fantastic value for money and a great way to spend a couple of hours."
• "Despite the multiple negative reviews, I feel this place is actually remarkably good. Fantastic value for money and a great way to spend a couple of hours."

Cons:

• "I had paid for 2 courses but we gave up after the 1st so I do not recommend 😡 WASTE OF MONEY!!!!"
• "Paid £90 for the sharp shooter for my sons birthday was meant to start at 1 o’clock the staff didn’t turn up till 1:20 then took ages to put batteries in the guns and sort out the pellets all the guns where jamming literally shot for about 20 minutes out of the hour then got told we had to go at 2 for another booking absolute shambles of a place phone the hq to speak to someone about a refund and the lady was very rude."
• "Visited with a friend after dinner and paid £40 for the date night option which includes a drink and a game on both golf courses, cocktails just tasted like juice with 0 alcohol."
• "£35 wasted. The place was awful, I want to find something good to say but I honestly can't."

Course Layout and Design

Pros:

• "There are 2 golf courses, easy and hard, we did both. The hard one has more room to move around and is much more fun to play."
• "The decor is to be expected. They have attempted to make it urban and eclectic."
• "It's a great golf course that isn't too easy and it features some brilliant props to take photos with!"
• "This place is excellent I had a great time with my friends and the staff were friendly as well."

Cons:

• "The courses were both tatty and poorly lit, with no space between holes. So it was easy to get stuck waiting for people to get out of the way before you could play the next hole."
• "Echoing what others have said - Very small and cramped. Wouldn't recommend it if there's more than 2 of you."
• "The easy one is OK, not a lot of room to move around and a family of 4 would struggle to fit in the playing spaces for each hole."
• "It's very cramped. Too cramped to take a shot in most places."

Staff and Service

Pros:

• "Overall definitely needs some TLC but the staff are very helpful and greet you with a smile."
• "We went mid week so it wasn't busy. We had a great laugh, staff really helpful & happy."
• "Friendly staff and the usual equipment for playing crazy golf (score cards and pencils smaller clubs for little ones etc)."
• "I had an incredible 21st birthday! Elliot was absolutely fantastic and really made us feel welcome."

Cons:

• "Both sets of holes were cramped and tight, and as the evening went on we grew less and less inspired by our experience. It was disheveled, tired, broken and scummy."
• "The outside looked terrible and grimey, we didn’t even know if it was open. Went inside, up what felt like 100 flights of stairs, there was rolls of cut up carpet in a doorway on one of the floors as well, it was too cramped in the actual golf parts, you cant move around at all, man behind the bar was very rude and off putting."
• "The staff were friendly and unfortunately that's the only good thing about the place."
• "We booked backyard golf with cocktails for my friends birthday for 3 of us. The guys as the bar were friendly but the actual mini golf course was very warm and cramped with not much space at all."

Facilities and Cleanliness

Pros:

• "Sooo... me and my friends loved it. Most of the bad reviews say about it being dirty, but this wasn't the case so I'm guessing that they have had a bit of a makeover since."
• "Had a great time! We did the DATE NIGHT offer which includes both courses and 2 cocktails. Very friendly staff who make you feel welcome, and a good atmosphere."
• "Came with my eldest for a afterschool treat and we both had a great time! Love the junkyard UV theme."
• "This place is brilliant!!! All been recently done up and what can I say looks brilliant some real good touches and the kids loved it, staff were friendly and helpful."

Cons:

• "My only cons are that it is quite dirty and hot, and has a slightly weird smell in the building, you do kind of leave feeling you want to cake yourself in hand sanitiser."
• "It's very cramped. Too cramped to take a shot in most places. They could have halved the number of holes and it would have been a much more enjoyable experience."
• "The toilets were terrible too."
• "The courses were both tatty and poorly lit, with no space between holes. So it was easy to get stuck waiting for people to get out of the way before you could play the next hole."
