Camden: Junkyard Golf Club Tickets for 9 or 18 Holes

Camden’s Junkyard Golf Club turns a simple putting game into a strange trip through creepy clowns, smashed cars, ultraviolet toilets, and crashed planes. You choose one of four wildly different courses, then play 9 holes or combine two courses for 18.

I like the freedom to choose your own mix, and I like the location right by Camden Lock bridge in the heart of Camden Market. Staff also make a strong first impression, especially with children. One small catch: the horror, nightclub, and dystopian themes may not suit anyone looking for calm, traditional mini-golf.

Key points

• Four very different courses: Pick from Bozo, Dirk, Gary, and Pablo, each with its own setting and visual style.
• 9 or 18 holes: A 9-hole ticket covers one course, while an 18-hole ticket lets you play two.
• Camden Market location: Find the venue by the first entrance next to Camden Lock bridge.
• Flexible arrival: You can go at any time during opening hours on your selected date.
• Physical ID required: The venue uses a Challenge 25 policy, even if you are clearly over 18.
• A good family timing tip: Under-18s can enter before 7 PM, and the last golf slot is at 6 PM.

Camden crazy golf with a junkyard twist

Traditional mini-golf gives you windmills, ramps, and bright plastic obstacles. Junkyard Golf Club takes a rougher route. Its four courses are built around fear, scrapyard clutter, bad taste, and pop-style visual comedy.

You are not simply trying to sink a ball in as few shots as possible. You are putting through a themed set where the surroundings are part of the entertainment. One hole may send you near a carousel of fear. Another may place you beside an electric chair or a wrecked vehicle.

That makes this a good pick if you want an evening activity with plenty to look at between shots. You do not need to be a skilled golfer. The putter and ball are supplied, and the main challenge is working out each odd obstacle while enjoying the setting.

The venue sits inside Camden Market, so it is easy to pair with food, shopping, or a walk along the canal. You do not need to plan a separate day around the golf. It can fit before or after another Camden stop, though you should allow enough time to arrive, redeem your voucher, choose your course, and get started.

Choosing between 9 and 18 holes

The ticket choice is simple, but it changes the feel of the visit.

A 9-hole ticket gives you one course. This is enough if you want a short activity between other plans, or if you are visiting with children who may lose interest after a while. It also lets you sample the venue without committing to a longer session.

An 18-hole ticket covers two courses. This is the better choice if you want the full Junkyard Golf treatment and enjoy comparing different themes. You might begin with a horror-heavy course, then move to one built around cars and industrial junk.

The 18-hole option also gives your group more variety. A single course has a fixed mood, while two courses let you choose a mix that suits the people with you. If one person likes creepy settings and another prefers cars or comic chaos, the larger ticket helps keep everyone involved.

At a listed price from $16.16 per person, the value depends on how much time you want to spend at the venue. The 9-hole option is easier to justify as a quick Camden activity. The 18-hole option makes more sense when you want the golf itself to be the main event rather than a short add-on.

Bozo, the creepy carnival course

Bozo is the most obvious choice if you like horror with a carnival setting. You putt past creepy clowns, Ferris wheels, and carousels of fear in what the venue describes as a dystopian fear-ground.

The appeal is visual as much as sporting. The course gives you a strong setting from the first hole, with familiar fairground objects given a darker treatment. If you enjoy clown imagery and twisted amusement-park themes, this is likely to be one of the memorable options.

It may be less comfortable for anyone who dislikes clowns or horror decoration. The course is not a quiet, neutral putting area. Choose Bozo because you want the strange atmosphere, not because you expect a standard family mini-golf layout.

Dirk, a basement horror rave

Dirk takes a different path. It is built around the idea of a basement horror rave, with a more nightclub-like tone than Bozo’s haunted fairground.

The course includes an electric chair and a mind-bending ultraviolet toilet. Those details tell you what kind of humor to expect: dark, silly, and intentionally over the top. It is the sort of course where the set dressing may get as many comments as the score.

Dirk works best for adults and older groups who enjoy irreverent themes. Under-18s are allowed in the venue before 7 PM, but families should consider the tone as well as the entry rule. The last golf slot is at 6 PM, which is the practical cutoff if you are bringing children.

Gary, the smashed-up car course

Gary is the course to choose if wrecked vehicles and garage clutter sound more appealing than horror. You slide off the roof of a smashed-up Mini and putt through piles of auto-junk in a scrapyard garage remix.

This course has a clear industrial identity. Instead of leaning on clowns or fear, it turns old-car imagery into the main attraction. That gives your group a useful contrast if you play Gary alongside Bozo or Dirk.

Gary may also be the easiest course for people who are unsure about horror themes. It still has the exaggerated Junkyard Golf look, but its central idea is automotive mess rather than haunted spectacle. You should expect a playful scrapyard setting, not a polished or traditional golf environment.

Pablo, a polluted paradise

Pablo is the most bizarre of the four themes. It places you among cage-fighting grizzly bears and crashed narco planes in a polluted paradise.

The course uses a deliberately chaotic mix of images. You are not being offered a realistic setting. Instead, each part adds another strange visual joke to the route. If your group enjoys pointing out the oddest obstacle or taking in the set while waiting for the next shot, Pablo gives you plenty to discuss.

Pablo is a good second course after Gary because both have a rough, junkyard-style feel, but they use different subjects. Pair it with Bozo or Dirk if you want a sharper change of mood between 9-hole sections.

Finding the entrance beside Camden Lock

The meeting point is straightforward once you reach Camden Market. Head toward the first entrance next to Camden Lock bridge, then go inside to redeem your voucher.

The location is one of the activity’s best practical features. You are not traveling out to a distant attraction or dealing with a complicated transfer. The golf ends back at the same venue, so you can continue into Camden Market afterward.

You can arrive at any time during opening hours on your selected date. That flexibility is useful if your Camden plans shift during the day. Still, check availability before booking, since the activity page asks you to confirm the available starting times for your date.

The venue is cashless. Major debit and credit cards are accepted, so you should not arrive expecting to pay with notes or coins. Food and drinks are available to buy, adding an easy option if you want to stay for refreshments after playing.

A friendly welcome, especially with children

The staff can make a big difference at a venue with a dark, crowded-looking theme. The welcome here is described as warm and reassuring, with staff helping people find their way downstairs and get settled.

That matters if you are visiting with children or anyone who finds unfamiliar places difficult. One staff member helped a family feel comfortable by chatting with the children about their favorite superheroes. That sort of small interaction is more useful than a formal speech. It helps take the edge off the first few minutes.

The host or greeter speaks English. You will receive your putter and ball as part of the ticket, and staff direct you toward your selected course. The main service is practical rather than a guided tour, so do not expect a guide to explain the history of each installation or accompany your group from hole to hole.

Timing, ID, and the Challenge 25 rule

Bring a passport or ID card. The venue follows a Challenge 25 policy and requires physical identification for entry. A photo on your phone may not be enough, so carrying the actual document is the safest choice.

The age rule needs attention if you are visiting as a family. Under-18s are allowed in before 7 PM seven days a week, while the last golf slot is at 6 PM. That means a family booking should be planned earlier in the day rather than left for the evening.

Adults should also remember that the ID check applies to entry policy, not just to alcohol purchases. Even if you are clearly over 18, bring physical ID to avoid a problem at the door.

The flexible arrival policy helps with timing, but you still need to respect the selected date and opening hours. If your schedule is uncertain, the reserve-now-and-pay-later option lets you hold a place without paying immediately. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.

Who will enjoy Junkyard Golf Club most

I would recommend this activity to groups that value atmosphere as much as the game. It suits friends, couples, families visiting early enough in the day, and anyone looking for an unusual Camden stop.

It is especially useful for:

• Groups with different interests, since you can choose two contrasting courses.
• Visitors who want a short activity close to Camden Market.
• People who enjoy dark comedy, strange props, and deliberately messy design.
• Families with children who can attend before the evening cutoff.
• Casual players who want fun rather than a serious test of putting skill.

I would be more cautious if you dislike horror imagery, clowns, nightclub themes, or deliberately crude visual jokes. You can choose the less horror-focused Gary course, but the overall venue still follows the Junkyard Golf style. It is not a quiet or traditional putting experience.

Is the price good value?

The listed starting price is $16.16 per person. That is reasonable for a central London activity if you are happy with 9 holes and want something easy to add to a Camden day.

The value improves when you choose 18 holes and make the venue a main part of your plans. You get two different courses rather than repeating the same layout, and the added variety is important here. The attraction is not just the number of holes. It is the chance to move from one exaggerated theme to another.

Food and drinks cost extra, so include that in your budget if you plan to stay at the venue. You do not need to buy refreshments to take part, and the ticket includes the course choice, putter, and ball.

Because the venue is close to other Camden attractions, you also save time and transport costs compared with an activity outside the area. That convenience is a real part of the value.

Should you book Camden Junkyard Golf Club?

Book it if you want odd, visually busy, theme-heavy mini-golf in a handy Camden location. The choice of four courses is the main reason to go, and the 18-hole ticket gives you the best sense of the venue’s range.

Choose 9 holes if you have a packed Camden schedule or want a shorter family-friendly activity. Choose 18 holes if your group likes the horror, junkyard, and comic themes and wants the golf to be the central event.

Bring physical ID, arrive before the evening cutoff if you have anyone under 18, and select your courses with your group’s comfort in mind. For the right audience, this is much more memorable than ordinary mini-golf. For anyone seeking a quiet, polished game, it is probably the wrong fit.
