Hedge End Golf Centre: Opinions

4.1/5 (199 Opinions)
A B 9 months ago

Negative experience: Poor quality balls, poor quality mats. Not good value at all. £14pound for 100 balls.

Samuel Boon 9 months ago

Positive experience: Lovely range, however the prices here must of doubled over the last year. 14 pounds for 100 balls is just insane. £7.50 for 25 balls is even more insane. To put into perspective you can get 100 balls at Chilworth for £7.50. It’s a shame as this is the local range for me, but coming here just isn’t feasible anymore.

Charles Calvert 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Brilliant range… getting a bit pricey but really good range. Best around here!

Ahmed Ali 11 months ago

Negative experience: Rude staff. I’ve never experienced someone so rude and i’m not one to leave negative reviews!

dave madgwick 11 months ago

Positive experience: It's OK the ground ain't great

Jessica Lyons 11 months ago

Negative experience: Rude staff, saw a manager bullying someone from mighty adventures. Clear jealousy as their mini golf has failed while the dinosaur golf gets more and more popular. Will ensure people know not to use this driving range.

Lia Verlander 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Well for my first time at the driving range, I thought it was a lot of fun! My guy took me for a few hours doing something new (for me). Good value 100 balls each. I’m a little disappointed that you can’t hire ‘drivers’ at a ‘Driving Range’. But I did get helpful hints from the very friendly bar staff, thank you! Anyway, next time I’ll bring my own driver (now on order) :) Weather went from torrential rain to sun. But hey, that’s ok when you’re under cover! Lots of free parking. I door and outside crazy golf too! Pool tables, darts and 2 bars! Great few hours out. Looking forward to going back.

Juliette Evans 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Today I took my son to do the crazy golf which was really fun. We then ventured into the new indoor golf facility to have a look and the young lad in there was incredibly friendly and helpful. We will definitely try that out soon. We had a look at the sports bar upstairs and got chatting to Jordan behind the bar and decided because he was so helpful, to have a go on the driving range. We got 100 balls and hired 2 golf clubs but Jordan actually lent us his own driver as we were struggling a bit! He was above and beyond and definitely should get the recognition he deserves as my son had such a fun time and we will definitely return asap!!

Naomi Pesticcio 1 year ago

Negative experience: Awful parking, lines are to long. Staff are unexperienced and not friendly. Will not come back.

Spinnaker Studios 1 year ago

Negative experience: Rude manager, treats Mighty Adventures customers badly. Clearly trying to damage their revenue by not allowing them to have a sign on their door. When I arrived for mini golf they tried to tempt me to use their one. £11 for 11 holes - No thank you!

Richie O'Rourke 1 year ago

Positive experience: Great facility but I always find the staff a bit miserable. Never a warm welcome.

Lisa Fhithyan 1 year ago

Negative experience: Lots of debris on the course very poor the staff need to clear the leaves and sticks off.

Jonathan Banks 1 year ago

Positive experience: Driving range with clever computer stuff and a bar

Daniel Grigoriu 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The general experience was average, but the 5 stars are due to exceptional service of Emily B and Helen in the upstairs bar

Elizabeth 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Reasonably priced driving range. You can bring your own clubs or hire. Perfect for beginners.

Tim C 1 year ago

Positive experience: Reasonable prices and can always find a bay

Joshua Wilkinson 1 year ago

Negative experience: Shocking range. Balls are years old, Matt’s slip all over the place that you could hurt yourself. Asked for a refund because of the poor facilities you get shut down, flat no. Wouldn’t go to find out how bad it is.

angelo tebano 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: 1st time there for a birthday party, very entertaining. Especially when everyone gets a hole in one

Stuart Baker 1 year ago

Positive experience: Great staff. Does the job.

Jessica Jago 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fun driving range with tracker. We got 200 balls between 6 of us, and it lasted about 1.5hrs. It was a fun outside activity to do with family and friends.

Anthony Robertson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and fantastic equipment

Ian Allman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I love playing crazy golf here! Fantastic course.

Shane Mckeown 1 year ago

Negative experience: Balls are 5 years old Not enough greens Lady at reception needs to retire I have seen happier people on death row. Not worth £13.50 for 100 balls but there is no where else local to go

tim Robinson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Nice family place ⛳️

Christian 1 year ago

Positive experience: It’s good value if you bring your own clubs, and worth knowing they won’t provide any drivers. The ball tracking system isn’t particularly accurate, more for a bit of fun. My only real criticism was I felt staff member who served us at reception wasn’t enjoying her work, nor was she trying to bring her best self.

Karl Way 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Easy access from the M27 or main roads. Friendly staff with a decent range of drinks. 2 levels with numerous bays so no waiting and plenty of parking (avoid the potholes on the way in Dec 2023). Toilet facilities are well maintained and clean. The addition of the top tracer shot tracking and app link in, make it a superior driving range experience. Can be a bit cold as it faces west into the prevailing wind. Tees are not auto loading but high, low and artificial grass are all there and in good condition.

Ken Adams 1 year ago

Negative experience: Don't accept cash, card only! Can't comprehend what would happen if the internet went down & seem to be completely oblivious to the fact they can't refuse cash as it's legal tender! No signs outside anywhere to say it card only either.AVOID like the plague

Gary H 1 year ago

Steve Kay 1 year ago

Positive experience: Nice modern driving range with a cool dinosaur themed crazy golf. Could do with being made bigger due to how busy it is in the evenings

Positive experience: Happy to take your money but don’t really want you on site

Darcy Seal 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great driving range with the added advantage of ball tracer and plenty of options/games within this plus good food and drink. I certainly notice more families and couples playing for fun. Really friendly team. Oh and you have the dinosaur adventure golf opposite win win.

Fantastic experience: Visited here today with my Son, Nephew & Sister. We had such a warm welcome from both Chaps at the welcome desk. Boys loved it. Would also recommend ice-cream the guys serve here too. Beautiful creamy ice cream with sauce & flake served with great service and lovely humour too. Thank you for being so lovely. We will be back! Carmel Sauce & two flakes was delicious

Karen Burnikell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Loved the mini golf good price helpful staff

Ryan Young 2 years ago

Positive experience: Great driving range with two floors of bays. Can get busy at peak times but the wait for a bay at these times is normally only 5-10 minutes. The top tracer system is great to analyse your swing and the go fish game is a good way to get young kids playing golf and keeping them interested

Wendy Callear 2 years ago

Positive experience: Expensive! Mini (crazy) golf for 1 adult and a 9 yr old was £18.50! I hadn't booked so had to wait 40 mins. Even then, there were large queues at every hole. Not good for impatient youngsters and stressful when you're actually playing because you know there are people waiting for you to finish!! IF it hadn't been busy, the course would have been enjoyable with all the fantastic dinosaurs and scenery.

L J 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great Driving range, clubs available to hire. Clean&tidy, selection of drinks available and friendly staff

j 2 years ago

Negative experience: Would recommend to avoid, mainly due to the attitude of the staff members here, mainly the older male with glasses and cap, he should take a close look at the young lad there and try to copy the way he conducts himself because he is leaps and bounds above him. I’d rather now use chilworth range without top tracer or take the short trip to Winchester golf academy, it’s worth the drive and everything about the place is much more welcoming. Great shame as I’ve been using this range for years but the guy’s attitude has finally done it for me. Retraining or losing him would be a massive improvement

Cliff 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Relaxed and helpful staff. Found the relatively new Toptracer App fun to use, though a little confusing. I'm sure we will fathom it all out eventually.

Fantastic experience: I just wanted to put a big shout out for David Ings at Hedge End Golf Centre for his friendly, expedient and 1st class service in taking care of the repairs and regripping of my golf clubs. David certainly knows his and I can strongly recommend him for all of your golf club servicing needs, replacement shafts and regripping etc. You will also be very surprised at Dave's "more than reasonable" prices which surprised me. I was expecting to pay more than I was asked for so thank you Dave for providing such a great "value for money" service. Much appreciated !!!

Impressive adventure (mini) golf on site. Drinks including alcohol served on site. Gym on site. Well located 1min off M27.

Sarah Lewer 3 years ago

Negative experience: The driving range is nice, we had fun. We bought a coffee and had something to eat in the cafe … BUT as we went to leave, we tried to use the toilets and were stopped by someone who was incredibly rude and said to us “are you here for mini golf” and we said yeah maybe, as we were going to play afterwards and his response was “well the toilets are at the end of the car park” and we then had to say sorry we’ve just been on the range on used your cafe … and then we were allowed to use the toilets. It’s laughable really because both mens and females toilets were disgusting. Maybe clean the toilets properly before you question your customers.

Chris Warburton 3 years ago

Positive experience: They've recently added some computers to track shots which are brilliant, really make a session more interesting. TopGolf is the benchmark for "fun" driving ranges and this place is slowly but surely getting there.

S. Ingrem 3 years ago

Negative experience: Terrible. Went there with the family. I needed the toilet whilst in the cafe .wasn't allowed to use the one in side . Which was nice .. I was sent out down the car park to the portaloo.. in the rain . It was disgusting needs to reported to health and safety. The pan hadn't been flushed for hours . Flies . No loo paper smelly. Disgusting is being nice . After paying for games of golf and using the cafe .. rip off .

Nick Wilkinson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place for practicing your golf, especially when you can't get out on the course... A 2 tiered facility so room for everyone. Hot and cold drinks and snacks available too. Great welcoming staff. And for the little ones there is crazy golf with a Dinosaur theme, they will love it !! Plenty of parking spaces, and right next to M27 motorway at Hedge End, so it's easy to find..

Robert Bigwood 3 years ago

Negative experience: Be careful, only buy range balls you are able to use that visit. Paid for two buckets with a friend but got called away. Could not save the ticket or get a refund. Gave it away rather than waste it. Not a good experience.

Steve Chapman 3 years ago

Negative experience: Driving range staff are rude an extremely unhelpful. I attended yesterday with my 5 year old son who has autism. We were there for the crazy golf, which I understand are two separate companies but on the same premises. I walked in to ask to use the toilets an there response was “portaloo’s are outside for crazy golf” which I had no problem with, so we went to use these but as soon as I saw the state of them I was definitely not taking my child in them. Again I know this technically isn’t the driving range’s issue, but my son was desperate for the toilet and he extremely struggles with toilet training with his autism so being in an environment like that would be a massive problem. I notified the crazy golf staff an they was getting this sorted but my son needed to go then an there. I walked back in an asked again as we didn’t have time to waste and explained the situation. They then said “it’s company policy and it’s not our issue” I then explained about my son’s condition…….which I feel shouldn’t be a factor and I don’t like making it an issue. An yet they still flat out refused. I then asked the cafe staff if I bought something from there can he use the toilet, they also said it’s down to the driving range staff. As I went to use the toilet as my son couldn’t wait any longer they actually got the key an locked the door in front of us so my son couldn’t enter to go to the toilet. I have never been so annoyed and disgusted with a company.

MJ P 4 years ago

Positive experience: Crazy golf was well worth the visit. The cafe was okay. However, the two porterloo's in the car park for crazy golf customers were a disgrace. One was out of action due to vomit everywhere and the other was disgusting. This would stop me visiting again ☹

Neil Brown 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Was a very pleasant experience. Easy to use dispensers. The info screens were easy to use and provided useful shot info. Definately worth the time and money.

Luke Parker 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just a great place to go for calm solo time to be peaceful. It's a great place to go with friends and there's absolutely no judgement if good or bad. Might even be lucky to get some help from another customer. Also I love the new ball tracking feature. If you can hit the ball past 20ft your ball is tracked for speed, arc, curve, distance and other variables.

Evelyn Young 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Mighty Adventures was fantastic. 18 crazy golf holes with lots of entertainment for all ages.
