Facility and Equipment Condition

Pros:

  • "The pitches were challenging which made it very fun."
  • "This is truly a brilliant place. Firstly, the prices are really reasonable."
  • "The venue is great, sadly you will fall into the trap of convincing yourself that an axe throwing range in the garden is totally doable."
  • "Axe throwing was brilliant with Alex - she gave us great advice from start to finish."
  • "Great place for a social day or night out. 3 9 hole courses to choose from, all a little different."
  • "Awesome. First of all the staff are brilliant, we came as a part of a stag party and whilst they were obviously professional and sensible, they kept up the stag vibe so was pretty cool."
  • "Wonderful experience. Great fun and the girl behind the bar (tory I think her name was) was so funny & welcoming, really made our night. We will be back. Thank you."
  • "Boom is an amazing place well priced and is perfect for dates or nights out! Em was on shift when I went and she was a good laugh and out cocktails were amazing."

Cons:

  • "We were disappointed however that three pitches were broken so we couldn't play as a four."
  • "Staff were really great but parts of the venue itself were a let down."
  • "Most other games are partly broken. I think the table tennis table was not broken but the bats were."
  • "It's a nice idea and was much better when it opened. Nowadays most of the crazier golf is broken."
  • "Most of the golf putters are badly bent."
  • "The skeeball was fun but the machines weren't really set up for this kind of venue."
  • "It was also very loud, akin to a nightclub at 2:30pm, so not for everyone."
  • "The darts game we played stopped working halfway through and we lost all our progress. There was only one staff member behind the bar so it took a long time to get a drink."
