Four hours indoors beats eighteen holes in the rain.
A traditional corporate golf day in the North East asks a lot: a full day out of the diary, a handicap, decent weather in a region that rarely provides it, and a group where half the room can actually play. Most teams can't clear all four.
Indoors, the same day compresses into a morning or an afternoon. Everyone plays regardless of ability, the scoring runs itself, and the conversations that a team day is actually for happen between shots rather than three fairways apart.
Team building & away-days
Mixed-ability teams across the bays with live leaderboards. It rewards nerve rather than experience, so the org chart stops mattering fairly quickly.
Client entertaining
Somewhere to take a client that isn't another lunch. Two hours in a bay with a drink covers more ground than a boardroom ever does.
Christmas & work socials
The one department night out where nobody's stuck at the end of a long table. Bays run side by side, so the group stays a group.
How the day runs.
Half day (3–4 hours). All three bays from £81 an hour, teams drawn on arrival, a nine-hole scramble and a closest-to-the-pin decider. Catering to the bay partway through. Out by lunch, or in for the afternoon.
Full day. The above with a longer format, a break, and a second round after food — enough structure to justify the diary block, loose enough that people can actually talk.
Two hours, one bay. The lean version for smaller teams and client meetings, from £27 an hour per bay. No minimum spend and no production required.
Every format is priced per bay rather than per head, so the cost per person falls as the group grows. Tell us your numbers and we'll build the quote around them.
The practical answers.
How many can we bring?
Four to six play per bay and spectators are welcome on top, so three bays comfortably handle a team of eighteen — more if you're rotating with food and drinks.
Do they need to play golf?
No. Clubs, balls and tees are provided, the tech does the scoring, and complete beginners are usually the ones causing the upsets.
Food and drink?
Fully licensed bar with fresh coffee, casual bites to the bay as standard, and tailored catering for half and full days. Tell us about dietary requirements when you book.
Where are you?
Lingfield Way, Darlington — minutes from the A1(M), with free on-site parking and Darlington station close by for teams travelling in. Drive times and directions.
