Camden: Junkyard Golf Club Tickets for 9 or 18 Holes

Camden’s Junkyard Golf Club turns crazy golf into a tour through four oddball worlds: one has creepy clowns and a fear-ground carousel, another sets its holes amid scrapyard cars. You choose the course, then try to keep your ball out of the props.

I like the choice between one course for 9 holes or two for 18, and the freedom to arrive at any time during opening hours on your selected date. Its spot beside Camden Lock bridge also makes it easy to pair with time in Camden Market.

One thing to weigh: a 9-hole ticket covers just one course, so you will need the 18-hole option to sample two. The venue is also cashless, and anyone who looks under 25 should bring physical ID.

Key points to know

• Four themed courses: Choose from Bozo, Dirk, Gary and Pablo, each with its own peculiar set of obstacles and mood.
• Your ticket sets the scope: Nine holes gets you one course; 18 holes lets you play two courses of your choice.
• Camden Market location: Find the venue near the first entrance beside Camden Lock bridge.
• Flexible arrival: You can go at any time during opening hours on your selected date.
• Under-18 cutoff: Children can enter before 7 PM, and the last golf slot is at 6 PM.
• Bring physical ID: The venue follows Challenge 25 and accepts card payments only.

Four strange courses, four different moods

The main choice here is not just how many holes to play. It is which little world you want to putt through. Junkyard Golf Club has four courses, each built around a different theme, with props and settings designed to make a simple game feel more like a playful set piece.

Bozo is the creepy fairground option. You putt past clowns, through Ferris wheels and around carousels, all framed as a dystopian fear-ground. It suits you if you like your silly game with a mildly sinister edge, though the clown theme may be more unnerving than amusing for some children.

Dirk takes a horror-rave angle, with a basement setting, ultraviolet lighting and an electric-chair obstacle. The description also points to a mind-bending ultraviolet toilet. This sounds like the strangest of the four, and likely the one to choose if you want the most surreal visual atmosphere rather than a conventional golf course.

Gary trades horror for a scrapyard garage. You play amid piles of auto-junk, with a smashed-up Mini whose roof provides a slide. It has the clearest connection to the club’s junkyard name, and its battered-car setting may appeal to anyone who prefers comic chaos to clowns or horror imagery.

Pablo is styled as a polluted paradise, with cage-fighting grizzly bears and crashed narco planes among its hazards. Its theme is deliberately outlandish. If you like absurd props and an exaggerated adventure-film mood, this one offers a different flavor from the fairground and scrapyard courses.

The course descriptions tell you the broad tone, but not the exact layout or difficulty of each hole. I would choose based on the theme you find most entertaining, rather than expecting one course to be more technically challenging than another.

Deciding between 9 and 18 holes

A 9-hole ticket gives you one course. It is the practical choice if you are fitting golf around a visit to Camden Market, meeting friends for a short activity or testing whether this kind of themed crazy golf is your thing.

The 18-hole option covers two courses of your choosing. That gives you a better sense of the club’s range, especially if your group cannot agree on a single theme. You can pair contrasting settings, such as the fairground-style Bozo with Gary’s scrapyard, or choose two courses with the same mischievous mood.

The listed price starts at $16.16 per person, though you should check the selected option and date for the price that applies to your booking. To judge value, think about how much time you want to spend playing and whether the second course matters to you. The 9-hole ticket costs less, but it also limits you to one theme. The 18-hole ticket buys a fuller visit, not simply a longer version of the same course.

A putter and ball are included, so you do not need to bring golf equipment. Food and drinks are extra, but available to buy at the venue. A visitor described the cocktails as fun and in keeping with the theme, so a drink may suit the outing, though it is not part of the ticket.

Finding the club and getting started

The venue is in the heart of Camden Market, near the first entrance beside Camden Lock bridge. Head toward the market and look for that entrance, then redeem your voucher at Junkyard Golf Club for your entry ticket.

The process is straightforward: arrive, choose your course or courses and get your putter and ball. The host language is English. Staff are described as greeting people warmly and showing them where to go downstairs, with one account noting a staff member making conversation with children about their favorite superheroes. That kind of friendly welcome can make a difference if you are arriving with young children or find unfamiliar venues a little awkward.

You can arrive at any time during opening hours on your chosen date, rather than being tied to one specific starting time. Still, check availability before booking, since the activity’s schedule and the last golf slot matter, especially if you are planning an evening visit.

What the game is likely to feel like

This is a social, themed activity, not a serious golf practice session. The appeal is the mix of putting and visual surprises: you aim, negotiate whatever prop lies between you and the hole, and enjoy the setting as much as the score.

That makes the venue a natural choice for friends, couples and families with children who enjoy playful settings. The four distinct themes help a group find a course that suits its taste, although the darker or horror-themed settings may not suit everyone. If your group includes children, pick with their comfort in mind, not just the most dramatic course description.

The ticket is for 9 or 18 holes, not an all-day pass to play repeatedly. The stated duration is one day because you can choose a time during opening hours on your selected date. In practice, plan around the number of holes you have booked and leave time to find the venue and redeem your voucher.

The setting in Camden Market also gives the outing a useful anchor. You can make golf one part of a wider Camden visit, rather than traveling across London for a single activity. The activity itself begins and ends at the meeting point, so there is no separate transfer or tour route to arrange.

Practical details before you book

Bring a passport or ID card. The venue operates a Challenge 25 policy and asks for physical ID to enter, so a photo stored on your phone may not be enough. This matters for anyone who could be asked to show proof of age, even if they are well over 18.

The venue is cashless, but accepts major debit and credit cards. Food and drinks are available to buy, but neither is included in the golf ticket. If you want to keep costs predictable, decide in advance whether you plan to buy anything beyond the entry ticket.

Under-18s are allowed in the venue before 7 PM, seven days a week. The last golf slot is at 6 PM, so families should check the time carefully and avoid assuming they can arrive close to the evening cutoff. Adults who want to play later should also check the day’s available times before making plans.

Booking offers some flexibility: you can reserve now and pay later, and cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. Those terms can help if your Camden plans are not yet fixed, but make sure the selected date and ticket type match the group’s needs.

Who will enjoy Junkyard Golf Club most?

I would put this on the list for anyone who wants a light, playful activity in Camden rather than a quiet museum visit or a traditional round of golf. The unusual course designs give you something to talk about between shots, and the choice of themes makes the experience feel less repetitive than one nine-hole course played twice.

Families can consider it, provided they arrive early enough for the under-18 rules and bring physical ID where needed. The welcome and staff guidance sound useful for children, but the clowns, horror-rave setting and electric-chair prop may not suit every child. Picking a course carefully is part of planning the visit.

It also suits a group with mixed interests: one person can enjoy the odd scenery, another can get competitive about putting, and the 18-hole ticket lets you see two different course concepts. If your group prefers calm surroundings, traditional golf or a purely skill-focused game, this venue may feel more theatrical than you want.

Should you book?

Book Junkyard Golf Club if you want an easy-to-slot-in Camden activity with playful themes, a choice of courses and a flexible arrival window. The 9-hole option works for a shorter stop; choose 18 holes if you want two different settings and have time for a longer game.

Before you commit, check the date’s availability, pick a course theme your group will enjoy, and bring physical ID. If those details fit your plans, this is a fun way to add a little friendly competition to a day in Camden.
