Your First Visit

Never been before? Read this first.

No clubs, no experience and no TrackMan account needed. Here's everything you need to know before you arrive — and your 10% off code for first-timers.

How it works

Booked to playing in three easy steps.

  1. Pick your slot

    Message us on WhatsApp and we'll book you straight in — no account needed — or book online via TrackMan in a couple of minutes. An hour is plenty for a first visit.

  2. Just turn up

    Arrive a few minutes early — there's free on-site parking. No clubs? Hire ours at the venue. No dress code, no experience needed, and we'll get you set up and talk you through it.

  3. Play

    Pick a world-famous course or a party game, and order drinks and food straight to your bay. That's it — you're golfing.

Before you come

What to bring (not much).

Honestly, just yourselves. Everything else is sorted — but here's the detail.

Clubs & kit

Clubs can be hired at the venue, and balls, tees and the tech are provided in every bay. Prefer your own clubs? Bring them along.

What to wear

No dress code. Wear whatever makes you comfortable — trainers are completely fine.

Getting here

We're at Unit 30, Evans Business Park, Lingfield Way, Darlington DL1 4QZ, with free on-site parking. Directions & map.

Bringing non-players?

Spectators are very welcome. We're fully licensed, so anyone not playing can settle in with a drink and a bite and cheer you on.

Good to know

The first-timer questions.

I've never played — is that OK?

Perfect, in fact. The simulator adapts to every level, and it's a relaxed, pressure-free way to have a go. We'll talk you through it.

How many can play?

Each bay comfortably fits a group of up to 4–6, and it's charged per bay — not per person.

How long should I book?

An hour is ideal for a first visit. It's billed in 30-minute blocks, so you can always extend on the day if you're having too much fun to stop.

Can I bring the kids?

Always welcome — it's a great way to get them into the game. Children must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.

More questions? Our FAQ covers the lot, or just ask us.
