Camden Market has a way of making ordinary plans weird. Junkyard Golf Club turns golf into a themed walk-through, with four mashed-up courses and a ticket choice for 9 or 18 holes. I love the pick-your-course freedom (you choose what you play), and I also like how the venue feels built for atmosphere, not just scoring balls. The one thing to consider: this isn’t a quiet, polished golf round. If you’re not into loud, spooky, and cartoon-dread themes, you may find it a bit intense.

You’ll redeem your voucher at the site right by Camden Lock, grab your putter and ball, and then choose which course—or two—you want to tackle. The setup is designed so you can go at a time that works for your day, and the whole experience is built around short “mini worlds” you move through hole by hole.

Key Things I’d Focus On Before You Go

• Camden Market location: you can fit this into a Camden day fast, without commuting across London.
• Four course identities: Bozo, Dirk, Gary, and Pablo each feel like a different genre of chaos.
• 9-hole vs 18-hole tickets: choose how much time you want for playing and wandering.
• Putter and ball provided: you don’t need to bring gear, just your ID.
• Cashless venue: plan on paying by card for drinks and snacks.

Camden’s Junkyard Golf Club: What the Experience Actually Feels Like

If you like your city activities with a sense of mischief, Junkyard Golf Club hits the sweet spot. It’s a crazy golf venue in the center of Camden, designed like a set of themed environments. Instead of walking a straight line with boring obstacles, you move through mini-stories: clowns, basements, scrap garages, and whatever Pablo is supposed to be.

The best part is how the venue lets you tailor your visit. With a 9-hole ticket you focus on one course. With an 18-hole ticket, you split time across two courses. That turns it into more than just “play golf.” You’re basically doing two different themed walks in one visit.

You also get practical value: the putter and ball are included, so you can show up and go right into play. And since you can go at any time during opening hours on your selected date, you’re not locked into a long window where the rest of your day falls apart.

One caution: the themes lean toward horror-comedy. Expect eerie clowns, electric-chair vibes, horror-rave energy, and aggressive animal cages. It’s playful, but it’s still a little dark. Go in knowing what you’re signing up for.

Location in Camden Market: Fast to Find, Easy to Pair With Other Plans

This is one of those London activities that makes planning simpler. The venue is in the heart of Camden Market, and you’re told to look for the first entrance next to Camden Lock bridge.

Why that matters: Camden is one of those areas where you can spend hours wandering. When your activity is right in the market, you don’t have to build your day around transport schedules. You can slot in a round, then keep exploring nearby shops and food.

When you arrive, you’ll redeem your voucher and get your entry tickets on site. The experience is structured so you’re ready to start without a lot of waiting in a big line that eats your energy.

Tip from a planning standpoint: arrive with enough time to relax into Camden first, but not so early that you’re stuck waiting. Since the venue has a last golf slot at 6 PM, I’d aim to start your round comfortably before evening.

Ticket Choices: 9 Holes on One Course vs 18 Holes on Two

Your ticket option is the core decision: do you want one course experience or two?

• 9-hole ticket: You pick one of the four courses and play all holes on it.
• 18-hole ticket: You choose two courses and split your play between them.

I like this setup because it matches different energy levels. If you’re pairing this with lots of walking around Camden, a 9-hole round is a tidy commitment. If you want to see more of the venue’s design and don’t mind adding a longer chunk of time, 18 holes gives you a fuller, more varied experience.

Also, the course choice is not random. You decide which theme you want. That means you can steer away from the horror elements you don’t want—or double down on them.

Inside the Venue: Redeeming Your Voucher and Picking Your Course

Once you find the entrance near Camden Lock bridge, redeem your voucher. After that, the next step is simple: you’re in the venue, you choose your course(s), and you start playing.

A few practical points help your experience go smoother:

• Putter and ball are provided, so you don’t need to bring equipment.
• The venue is cashless, and major debit and credit cards are accepted. So plan for card payments if you want food or drinks.
• You can go at any time during opening hours on your selected date. That’s useful when Camden crowds shift throughout the day.
• Expect an ID check under Challenge 25. The venue operates a Challenge 25 policy and asks for a physical ID for entry.

If you’re traveling with kids, note the age-related rule: under-18s are allowed in before 7 PM, and the last golf slot is at 6 PM. That’s mainly about timing, so it’s worth planning your visit so you don’t arrive too late.

The Four Courses: What Each One Brings to the Table

The venue’s selling point is that it doesn’t just add decorations. Each course feels like its own world, with different visual styles and different “what am I supposed to do here” obstacles.

You choose your course when you’re inside, and with an 18-hole ticket you can do two for maximum variety.

Bozo Course: Creepy Clowns, Ferris Wheels, and Carousels of Fear

Bozo leans hardest into the cartoon-meets-creepy angle. You’re putting past creepy clowns, moving through scenes that include Ferris wheels and carousels of fear. The vibe is dystopian and theatrical, like a night-time fair that should not be open.

What you’ll like about it: it’s visually playful, with lots of set-pieces to keep things moving hole to hole. It’s also the most “obvious” choice if you want something that feels like a classic theme park gone wrong.

Possible drawback: if clowns and “fear-ground” aesthetics are not your thing, you might feel a bit uncomfortable even though it’s clearly meant to be fun.

Dirk Course: Horror Rave Energy, Electric Chair, and an Ultraviolet Toilet

Dirk goes for horror-themed humor with a basement twist. The course is described as a basement horror rave, with details like a prayer before the electric chair and a mind-bending ultraviolet toilet.

This one is fun if you like themed surrealism—things that are odd on purpose, not “realistic” horror. It’s less about cages and more about weird staging, like the venue took a horror playlist and translated it into obstacles.

Possible drawback: it’s not subtle. If you’re sensitive to horror-style imagery, Dirk is the kind of course that doesn’t tone things down.

Gary Course: Scrapyard Garage Remix and a Mini Roof Slide

Gary is the mechanical chaos option. You slide off the roof of a smashed-up mini, then play through piles of auto-junk in a scrapyard garage remix.

This course feels like it has energy—more motion, more “vehicles meet obstacles,” more hands-on style chaos. If the clown and horror-rave themes feel too spooky, Gary might be a relief because it leans into messy action rather than fear setups.

Possible drawback: if you don’t like fast-moving or slide-style elements, it’s worth choosing carefully. The course is built around that kind of stunt experience.

Pablo Course: Cage-Fighting Grizzly Bears and Crashed Narco Planes

Pablo goes hard on the oddball danger storyline. You face cage-fighting grizzly bears and try to avoid crashed narco planes in a polluted paradise.

This one is for people who want the most “scenario” feeling—like a themed disaster movie scene turned into golf holes. It’s also the best pick if you want something loud and chaotic rather than spooky-but-playful.

Possible drawback: it’s the most intense on the “aggression” imagery side. If you’re bringing younger visitors, think about what themes they’re comfortable with.

How to Choose Your Course(s) Like a Pro

If you’re doing 9 holes, you’re choosing one mood. If you’re doing 18, you’re designing your own mini theme mix.

A simple strategy that works:

• Want more playful creep? Go Bozo.
• Want horror-funny surreal energy? Choose Dirk.
• Want messy, action-leaning obstacles? Pick Gary.
• Want maximum scenario chaos? Choose Pablo.

If you’re doing 18 holes, I’d pick two courses that don’t feel like they’re repeating the same “type” of theme. Example: pair a fairground-style course with a scrapyard course so the visuals reset your brain between holes.

Also, keep an eye on time. Even though you can go any time during opening hours on your date, the last golf slot is at 6 PM. If you’re planning dinner after, starting earlier keeps the evening smooth.

What’s Included (and What to Budget for)

Your ticket includes:

• 9 or 18-hole entry
• Choice of course
• Putter and ball

What’s not included:

• Food and drinks (available to buy)

So budget a little extra if you plan to snack or drink during your round. Since the venue is cashless, plan to pay by card for anything you buy on site.

Value check: paying around $16.16 per person (per the provided price) feels reasonable when you factor in gear included, a full theme setup, and either a single-course 9-hole round or a longer 18-hole visit. In London, activities like this can swing from pricey to “actually worth it.” This one lands in the better category because you’re getting time, choice, and a built environment—not just a small novelty photo stop.

Practical Tips to Make Your Round Smoother

These are the details that matter once you’re there:

• Bring a passport or ID card. The venue uses Challenge 25, and you may be asked for physical ID.
• Bring your plan for payments. The venue is cashless and takes major debit/credit cards.
• Go when it fits your day. You can go at any time during opening hours on your selected date, but remember the last golf slot at 6 PM.
• If you’re with under-18s, plan around the rule that under-18s can enter before 7 PM.

And most important: show up ready to play, not to analyze. The whole point is moving through silly, spooky worlds and enjoying the spectacle while you putt.

Who This Is Best For (and Who Might Skip It)

This experience is a strong match if you want something:

• playful and themed, not traditional
• easy to fit into a Camden day
• hands-on, with gear provided
• flexible, since you can choose your course(s)

I’d also recommend it to groups who can tolerate goofy competition. Even without fancy rules, golf is naturally a little competitive, and the course designs make it more fun to talk about your best shots and funniest misses.

You might skip it if:

• horror-style visuals make you uncomfortable
• you want a calm, quiet activity
• you dislike cartoon-creepy themes like clowns and electric-chair-style imagery

Should You Book Junkyard Golf Club Tickets in Camden?

Yes, you should book if you’re doing Camden anyway and want an activity that feels like you’re stepping into a themed attraction without the hassle of long travel. The course choice, the 9 vs 18-hole options, and the fact that putter and ball are included make it a solid value for a one-day plan.

Book it especially if you like atmosphere. Camden can be chaotic in the best way, and this turns that chaos into a structured, fun experience you can control with your ticket choice.
