Camden turns golf into a horror show. Junkyard Golf Club in Camden Market mixes four themed courses with a very welcoming, down-to-earth staff vibe. My favorite part is that you can shape the whole visit by picking the course(s) you want, not just playing a single layout. If you’re not into creepy clowns, electric-chair humor, or horror-ish props, that’s the one drawback to think about first.
You’ll redeem your voucher near Camden Lock bridge, grab a putter and ball, and then go at a time that fits your day. It’s a flexible one-day activity, so you can make it work before or after exploring Camden Market and the canal area.

Finding Junkyard Golf Club in Camden Market (Camden Lock bridge area)

Junkyard Golf Club is right in the heart of Camden Market, which is a big reason it’s such an easy day plan. The venue is set up so you don’t have to hunt across the city or plan complicated transit just to start playing.
When you arrive, head toward Camden Market and look for the first entrance next to Camden Lock bridge. That matters because this place feels like an entertainment complex, not a quiet street-front shop. If you get oriented fast, you’ll be less rushed and more ready for the themed entry experience.
Once you’re inside, you’ll redeem your voucher for entry tickets. Then you’ll be shown to the course area and can choose your layout. The whole flow is designed to get you moving quickly into the fun, with English-speaking staff available to help.
Also note the ID angle: there’s a Challenge 25 policy, so you should bring a passport or ID card even if you’re not buying drinks. It’s a simple rule, but it can save you stress at the door.

How 9 holes vs 18 holes changes your whole game plan

This isn’t just one crazy golf course. It’s multiple layouts, and the ticket size changes how much of that you can experience.
- With a 9-hole ticket, you’ll play 1 course.
- With an 18-hole ticket, you’ll play 2 courses.
That might sound like a small difference, but it affects your entire visit. If you’re coming once and want maximum variety, the 18-hole option is the sweet spot. You get time for two distinct themes—scrapyard energy plus something horror-leaning or clown-tinged—without feeling like you’re trying to do everything at once.
On the other hand, the 9-hole ticket is great if you want a quick hit during a Camden day. It’s also a smarter choice if you’re bringing younger players who might not want a longer session through multiple “scenes.”
Either way, you’ll get a putter and a ball, and you can play at your chosen time during opening hours on your selected date. The game slots run throughout the day, so you can flex around lunch, walking time, or even a spontaneous stop at Camden Market.
Four courses, four moods: Bozo, Dirk, Gary, Pablo

The big payoff here is that the courses are not variations of the same idea. They’re different worlds. When you choose your course(s), you’re choosing your mood for the day—silly creepy, horror rave energy, scrapyard chaos, or a more aggressive wild-animal vibe.
Bozo: clowns, Ferris wheels, and carousel-of-fear energy
If you want the most playful-creepy vibe, Bozo is the one to pick. Expect creepy clowns and visual chaos like Ferris wheels and carousels of fear, all framed like a dystopian fear-ground.
This course is a good fit if you like your horror in a cartoonish way—more theatrical than scary. You’ll be walking through scenes as you play, so it works well for groups where not everyone wants the same kind of intensity.
Potential consideration: if clowns and carnival horror props really get under your skin, Bozo could feel like a lot.
Dirk: horror rave in the basement (with electric-chair and ultraviolet toilet moments)
Dirk leans harder into horror-play set dressing. It’s described as a basement horror rave course, and it includes moments like a mind-bending ultraviolet toilet and a stop where you’ll “say a prayer” before an electric chair.
This course is ideal if you like spooky theater and don’t mind the darker humor. It also tends to be memorable because the set pieces are so specific. You’re not just hitting balls; you’re navigating scenes designed to make you react.
Potential consideration: it’s the most explicitly horror-leaning of the four, so consider it based on your group’s comfort level.
Gary: scrapyard garage remix (mini slide and auto-junk piles)
Gary is all about broken-machines energy. You’ll slide off the roof of a smashed-up mini and then play through piles of auto-junk in a scrapyard garage remix.
This is a strong choice if you prefer chaotic motion and physical-feeling obstacles. The theme is also easy to understand on the spot, which helps if you’re playing with kids or a group that needs quick buy-in.
Potential consideration: it’s a more “junkyard adventure” style course, so expect lots of props and clutter-style scenery. That’s part of the fun, but it can also make the visuals feel busy.
Pablo: polluted paradise with cage-fighting grizzly bears and crashed planes
Pablo is the wildest in terms of threat-style imagery. You’ll face cage-fighting grizzly bears and avoid crashed narco planes in a polluted paradise setting.
This one is for you if your idea of fun includes high-stakes, action-movie nonsense. The course seems designed to make you feel like you’re in a messed-up environment where every shot matters.
Potential consideration: if your group is sensitive to aggressive animal and crime-themed elements, you might steer toward Bozo or Gary instead.
What your visit feels like once you’re inside

Your first minutes matter here because the venue is theatrical. Plan to arrive a little early for your time slot so the onboarding doesn’t feel rushed.
Once you redeem your voucher, you’ll receive entry tickets and get a putter and ball. Then you choose your course(s). There isn’t a need to study a map for hours in advance. The staff guide you, and the space is set up so you can get oriented fast.
One of the best parts is how the staff handle the human side of the experience. In particular, the welcome is described as making people feel comfortable right away. If you’re bringing kids, that friendly approach is even more noticeable—there’s mention of staff talking with children about their favorite superhero before heading into the course areas. That’s a great sign if you’re worried about the vibe being cold or overly touristy.
Once you’re down in the course areas, you’re basically walking through themed rooms that shape how you play. Some routes feel more about navigating set pieces, while others focus more on obstacles and sightlines. Either way, you’ll spend your time moving through the scenes rather than just standing at a station.
Atmosphere and drinks: the themed fun doesn’t stop after golf

Crazy golf venues can be either purely game-focused or more like a full-on entertainment space. Junkyard Golf Club leans toward the second option.
You’ll find food and drinks available to buy, and the atmosphere around the themed spaces is part of the experience. One review highlights that cocktails felt fun and fit the theme, which tells you this isn’t just a gimmick bar sitting quietly in the background.
That’s useful for your planning: if you want this to be a half-day activity that feels like an outing, you can make it that. You can play your holes, then settle in for drinks without needing to immediately leave the venue.
Cashless is also a practical factor. The venue is cashless, and you can use major debit and credit cards. That’s a relief in Camden, where you can easily get caught in a spending rhythm and forget to withdraw money.
Price value: is $16.16 per person a fair deal?

The ticket price starts around $16.16 per person, depending on the option you choose. The key value question isn’t just the cost—it’s what that money buys you in a London day.
Here’s why it’s good value for what you get:
- You get equipment (putter and ball) included.
- You’re not paying for one static course; you’re paying for themed content and multiple course choices.
- The location in Camden Market can save you time and transit costs compared with destinations that require a longer commute.
- The duration is flexible within opening hours on your selected date, so it’s easy to fit around other plans.
If you’re a group and you’re choosing between 9 holes and 18 holes, the best “bang for your buck” usually comes from the 18-hole option. It lets you experience two very different worlds in one go. If you’re short on time or bringing players who might tire, the 9-hole option still works because the experience doesn’t require you to power through multiple themes.
Who should book this in Camden, and who should think twice

I’d book this if:
- You want quirky, theatrical entertainment rather than a quiet, traditional activity.
- You like the idea of choosing between distinct course personalities (clown carnival, horror basement, scrapyard garage, polluted paradise).
- You’re traveling in a group and want a shared activity with lots of photo moments.
- You appreciate a venue where staff focus on making you comfortable quickly.
I’d think twice if:
- Your group is easily unsettled by horror-leaning themes like an electric-chair prop or ultraviolet toilet set dressing.
- You strongly dislike clown-themed imagery or aggressive animal-style scenes.
- You’re hoping for something purely sports-focused. This is more about the story and the atmosphere around your shots.
Also, if you’re traveling with teens or younger kids, pay attention to the age rule: under-18s are allowed before 7 PM, and the last golf slot is at 6 PM. That doesn’t mean it’s only for adults—it means the venue has age-related timing you should plan around.
Should you book Junkyard Golf Club tickets in Camden?

Book it if you want a Camden day that feels like an event, not just a stop. The mix of course choice, the theatrical design, and the fact that you can play 9 or 18 holes makes it one of those easy-to-plan attractions that still feels different every time you go.
Skip it (or choose a safer course) if your group isn’t into creepy comedy or horror set pieces. Otherwise, this is a smart, fun-value way to spend an hour or two in one of London’s most walkable neighborhoods.
