Ferrymead Golf (solo trip)
How Solo-Friendly is Ferrymead Golf?
What makes it 83% Solo-Friendly: A solo visitor can play 9 or 18 holes, hit the 26-bay driving range, or try three mini-putt layouts, and the onsite café fills breaks; no booking hurdles or minimum group sizes apply.
Positives:

Challenges:

We had a teen birthday here with golf driving range, mini golf and snacks. Really great for parties, very relaxed vibe with super friendly and helpful staff, great service.

I visited this golf club for the first time with a mate as a casual player. I played nine holes, and it felt like a good size and beginner-friendly course. L They also offer plenty of other activities, like paintball. I’d definitely go back in the future to try more of what they have.
