It’s been said that if the sound of a Gail’s coffee machine is the guitar solo of gentrification, then the soft metallic clank of golf clubs in a bag is the rhythmic backing track.
And it looks like that backing track may turn into a fully blown syncopated drum solo soon, when Arch Golf – a private indoor golf sim – opens up in central Brixton.
The company will soon be doing golfy business in the Brixton Arches where people in strange trousers can thwack their balls at a virtual display for the price of £45 per hour (peak periods, Mon-Fri, 5pm-11pm and weekends), and £35 per hour during off-peak times (Mon-Fri, 7am-5pm).
Your money buys you an individual bay with fake grass and a big screen, and up to four golfing chums can use the bay during a booking.
Alas, only one person can swing at a time, dashing any hopes of fun-packed multi ball barrages.
If you don’t have your own set of clubs, there’s also a full set of clubs available to help you thump that ball into a virtual hole.
Arch Golf is already operational in Herne Hill, but there’s no indication when the Brixton branch will open.
