Golf Kingdom (Moby Golf / Topgolf) Chadwell Heath: Mini Golf in London
Golf Kingdom in Chadwell Heath is a family golf and leisure park out on Whalebone Lane North, and its headline draw is Moby Adventure Golf. It is an 18-hole themed mini golf course set around a 60-metre lagoon and an 8-metre waterfall, with a giant Moby Dick whale you putt the ball straight through. It suits families, kids and anyone after a low-key outdoor round near Romford rather than a buzzy bar-and-cocktails crazy golf night. The single most useful thing to know: the whole site has rebranded as Whalebone Golf Club, so the golfkingdom.co.uk address now redirects there, but the Moby course is still running. The course is laid out for full wheelchair access, and there is free parking on site.
The mini golf setup
Moby Golf is one 18-hole adventure course rather than a string of indoor lanes. The theme is built around Dagenham's legendary sperm whale, so you get a 60-metre lagoon, an 8-metre waterfall and the chance to putt through Moby's mouth, with Captain Ahab tucked in a cave. It is outdoor and landscaped, designed to be walked at your own pace. Usefully, the whole course is laid out for 100 percent wheelchair access, which is rare for adventure golf. It sits inside a bigger park that also has a driving range and a full golf course.
Good to know
This is a paid, bookable attraction, not free. Expect roughly £9 to £11 for ages 12 and over, around £7 to £9 for children aged 5 to 11, and about £5 for under 5s, with family bundles sometimes available. Prices vary between listings, so check the current site before you go. You can book Moby Golf tickets online or turn up on the day. Opening is broadly daytime, Monday to Friday 09:00 to 19:00 and weekends 09:00 to 18:00, though hours shift with daylight, so confirm ahead in winter.
Getting there
The park is on Whalebone Lane North in Chadwell Heath, postcode RM6 6SB, on the Romford side of the borough rather than central London. There is free parking on site, which makes it an easy drive-to spot. Chadwell Heath station (Elizabeth line) is the nearest rail option, with Marks Gate and the A12 close by. Note the venue now trades as Whalebone Golf Club, so signage and the website point there even though the Moby adventure course carries on.
