Camden: Junkyard Golf Club Tickets for 9 or 18 Holes

Junkyard Golf Club turns a round of miniature golf into a noisy, theatrical trip through creepy clowns, wrecked cars, grizzly bears, and a glowing toilet. You choose between 9 holes on one course or 18 holes across two, all inside Camden Market.

I like the freedom to pick your own theme, and I like the easy location beside Camden Lock bridge. Staff also seem to make arrival less awkward, especially for families. The main catch is that this is more about spectacle and laughter than a quiet, skill-focused game, and food and drinks cost extra.

• Four courses, four very different moods: Choose from Bozo, Dirk, Gary, or Pablo.
• 9 or 18 holes: A shorter ticket covers one course, while the longer option lets you play two.
• Camden Market setting: The venue is close to the first entrance beside Camden Lock bridge.
• Wild course props: Expect Ferris wheels, smashed cars, an electric chair, narco planes, and ultraviolet effects.
• Flexible same-day entry: You can arrive at any time during opening hours on your selected date.
• Family timing matters: Under-18s are allowed before 7 PM, with the last golf slot at 6 PM.

Camden’s strangest round of miniature golf

Junkyard Golf Club is not trying to recreate a polished country club. It takes the basic idea of putting a ball into a hole and drops it into four loud, strange settings. Each course has its own story and visual style, so the choice matters more than it would at an ordinary mini-golf venue.

You will find the club in the heart of Camden Market, near the first entrance beside Camden Lock bridge. That makes it easy to combine with food stalls, shopping, and a walk along the canal, although Camden can be crowded and noisy. Give yourself enough time to find the entrance without turning your booking into a race.

At the venue, you redeem your voucher, collect your putter and ball, and choose your course. A 9-hole ticket gives you one course. An 18-hole ticket gives you two courses of your choice, which is the better option if you want to compare the themes rather than settle on one.

The experience lasts within a one-day booking window rather than following a fixed guided tour. You can go at any time during opening hours on your chosen date, subject to availability and the venue’s operating hours. That flexibility helps if you are already spending the day around Camden.

Four courses, four kinds of weird

The four courses are not minor variations on the same design. They use different props, colors, and moods, so I would choose based on your group’s tolerance for horror, chaos, and visual clutter.

Bozo brings creepy carnival energy

Bozo sends you through a distorted fairground filled with creepy clowns, Ferris wheels, and carousels of fear. It has the feel of a carnival after the lights have gone wrong, with a dystopian edge rather than a cheerful family-funfair mood.

This is a good pick if you want the most recognizable crazy-golf spectacle. The course gives you plenty to look at while you wait for your turn, though the busy decoration may distract players who want to concentrate on their putting line.

Dirk turns golf into a basement horror rave

Dirk is the darker choice. It is described as a basement horror rave, so you can expect a more unsettling club-like setting instead of a scrapyard or fairground theme.

The course includes an electric chair and a mind-bending ultraviolet toilet. Those details tell you what kind of humor to expect: deliberately over-the-top, slightly grim, and built for memorable photos and group jokes. If someone in your party dislikes horror imagery, Dirk may not be the safest blind pick.

Gary makes a scrapyard out of the course

Gary is the automotive course. You putt through piles of auto-junk in a scrapyard garage remix, including a smashed-up Mini that forms part of the action. One feature lets you slide off the roof of the car, which gives the course a physical, playful quality beyond standard ramps and tunnels.

I would choose Gary for mixed groups because the theme is odd without relying as heavily on horror. It also fits Camden’s creative, patched-together character. The setting is intentionally rough, so do not expect a clean, minimalist venue.

Pablo heads into a polluted paradise

Pablo has the strangest travel story of the four. You face cage-fighting grizzly bears and avoid crashed narco planes in a polluted paradise. It sounds like a cartoon version of a bad action film, with environmental decay and absurd props mixed together.

This course suits a group that wants something visually ridiculous rather than traditionally spooky. The four themes are unusual enough that an 18-hole ticket makes sense if you cannot agree on just one.

Choosing between 9 and 18 holes

A 9-hole ticket is the sensible choice if you want a quick activity between other Camden plans. You get one complete themed course, plus the basic equipment needed to play. At $16.16 per person, it is reasonably priced for a central London activity, especially if you want something more active than browsing shops or sitting in a café.

The 18-hole ticket gives you two courses. It costs more than the shorter option, but it also doubles the themed content and lets you see how different the designs are. I would choose 18 holes for a dedicated outing, a date, or a group that enjoys competitive games and silly photo opportunities.

The 9-hole version may be enough for younger children or anyone with a short attention span. It also keeps the total outing manageable if you have a meal or another booking afterward. The 18-hole version is the stronger value when your group is already committed to the experience and wants the full Junkyard treatment.

The supplied price is listed as $16.16 per person, but booking availability and ticket options can affect what you pay. Check the final price for your date before committing.

What the staff add to the experience

The club uses an English-speaking host or greeter, but this is not a guided sightseeing tour. Staff help you redeem your voucher, get checked in, and find the course area.

That simple welcome can matter in a noisy, unfamiliar venue. Staff have been especially warm with families, including taking time to chat with children about their favorite superheroes. Another team member helps direct people downstairs, which is useful because a themed entertainment venue can be confusing at first.

I would not book this expecting a personal instructor to improve your putting. The staff role is mainly practical and welcoming. That is enough here, since the attraction comes from the courses themselves rather than from commentary.

A useful stop during a Camden day

The location is one of the strongest reasons to book. Junkyard Golf Club sits right in Camden Market, close to Camden Lock bridge. You do not need to make a separate trip across London for the activity, and you can pair it with the market’s food, shops, and canal-side area.

The trade-off is that Camden is not a calm setting. The market can be busy, and the club’s own sound and visual effects add to the energy. If you prefer quiet museums or careful sightseeing, this may feel like a sharp change of pace.

For a practical plan, place the golf between other Camden activities rather than treating it as your only reason to cross the city. A 9-hole round works well as a mid-day break. An 18-hole round deserves more space in your schedule, since you will play two themed courses and may want time for drinks afterward.

Drinks, cocktails, and the cashless setup

Food and drinks are not included in the ticket, but they are available to buy at the venue. The bar atmosphere follows the same playful style as the courses, and themed cocktails are part of the appeal for adults.

Do not bring cash expecting to use it. The venue is cashless, but all major debit and credit cards are accepted. That is easy for most visitors, though it is worth knowing before you arrive, especially if you are managing spending for a family or group.

The drinks add to the social side of the outing, but they also raise the total cost. I would compare the ticket price alone when deciding if the golf is good value, then treat drinks as optional extras rather than part of the basic package.

Family rules and the Challenge 25 check

Under-18s are allowed in the venue seven days a week before 7 PM. The last golf slot is at 6 PM, so families should choose an early booking and avoid leaving the activity until the evening.

The venue operates a Challenge 25 policy. Bring a physical passport or ID card, even if you are clearly over 18. Digital copies may not be accepted, and the information specifically calls for physical identification.

This rule is important for groups with adults and teenagers. One person without suitable ID could create a problem at entry, particularly if you also plan to buy drinks. Bring the required document for every person who may need to prove age.

What to bring and how the booking works

Your ticket includes the selected number of holes, your choice of course, a putter, and a ball. You do not need to bring golf equipment.

Head to the Junkyard Golf Club and redeem your voucher at the venue. The meeting point is the club itself, near the first Camden Market entrance next to Camden Lock bridge. The activity finishes back at the same location.

You can arrive at any time during opening hours on the selected date, rather than being tied to one narrow starting time. Still, check availability before booking because the available hours and slots can vary.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if your London plans are still moving around.

Who will enjoy Junkyard Golf Club most

I would recommend this for:

• Friends looking for a playful group activity
• Couples who want a date with a competitive edge
• Families visiting before the evening cutoff
• Fans of horror, bizarre props, and themed bars
• Visitors already planning to spend time in Camden Market
• Groups who prefer laughter and photos over serious sport

It is less suitable if you want a peaceful game, a traditional putting challenge, or a polished sports-club setting. The courses are intentionally crowded with ideas. That is the point, but it can make the game feel less refined than standard mini-golf.

The club also suits people who enjoy choosing their own mood. Bozo offers creepy fairground scenes, Dirk goes toward horror and ultraviolet effects, Gary uses auto-junk, and Pablo offers a polluted action-film fantasy. With 18 holes, you can mix two styles in one visit.

Is the ticket good value?

At $16.16 per person for the listed option, the 9-hole ticket is a fair central London price for a themed activity, especially when you use it as part of a full Camden day. You are paying for the setting and the props as much as for the golf itself.

The value improves if you use an 18-hole ticket to see two courses. The extra time gives you more variety, and the four-course choice makes the experience more personal than a fixed nine-hole layout.

Keep the extras in mind. Food and drinks are not included, and themed cocktails can increase the bill. I would set a budget before arriving if you are traveling with children or a larger group.

Should you book Junkyard Golf Club?

Book it if you want an unusual Camden activity with strong themes, simple rules, and a relaxed arrival window. I especially like it for groups that can laugh at bad shots and enjoy comparing Bozo, Dirk, Gary, and Pablo.

Choose 9 holes for a quick, affordable stop. Choose 18 holes if the club is the main event and you want two very different settings. Bring physical ID, arrive before the evening cutoff if you have anyone under 18, and expect a loud, playful venue rather than serious golf.
