Swinger's Crazy Golf Club to open next month

The 16,000 sq ft site, at Brown’s Buildings in the City of London, will house a 9-hole crazy golf course, five bars and three street food vendors when it opens on 27 May.

Created by events business The Institute of Competitive Socialising, Swingers – The Crazy Golf Club taps into the growing trend for leisure-led bars and restaurants, seen with the likes of darts-based club Flight Club and table tennis-themed Bounce venues, which have both opened in London in the last five years.

The new site will include five bars, a gin terrace and three resident street food vendors - Pizza Pilgrims, Patty&Bun and Le Bab - who will create a number of dishes especially for Swingers. 

Customers will be able to buy £13 tickets in advance to play a round of 9-hole crazy golf with 50 per cent of the allocation held back for walk-ins on the day. Entry to the venue is free allowing customers to eat and drink without playing if they wish. 

Teamed up​

Alongside its food offering, The Institute of Competitive Socialising has teamed up with Diageo Reserve which has created the gin terrace's signature drink - Tanqueray No.Ten and tonic and the Course Bar's Bulleit Bourbon. 

London coffee company Nude Coffee Roasters will also be providing an in-house coffee counter, serving coffees to drink-in or takeaway from 12pm to 6pm daily. 

The Institute of Competitive Socialising was created by politics graduates Matt Grech-Smith and Jeremy Simmonds after they sold their youth events business Rough Hill in 2012. 

The company, joined forces with creative partner Josh Ford to found Swingers, the crazy-golf pop-up, which ran from September 2014 to March 2015. 

A spokesperson for the company said more sites, following the launch of the first permanent one, are planned for the future.
