Metro Golf Centre - Captain's Bay Adventure Golf Barnet Copthall: Mini Golf in London
Captain's Bay Adventure Golf is a nine-hole, pirate-themed mini golf course tucked alongside the driving range at Metro Golf Centre in Barnet Copthall. It suits families, kids and casual groups who want a quick, low-key round rather than anything fancy. The most useful thing to know: the grounds are floodlit, so you can play well into the evening, and there is an Italian pizzeria right next door for after.
Each hole leans into a nautical, high-seas theme, and the centre also runs a driving range, a Par 3 course and an indoor simulator if you want to make a longer trip of it. You can book a round online through the Metro Golf Centre site. Worth checking before you set off: at the time of writing the adventure golf was listed as closed for maintenance until further notice, so confirm it is open.
The mini golf setup
Captain's Bay is a single nine-hole adventure golf course with a high-seas, pirate theme running through the holes. It sits right next to the Metro driving range, so it is more a fun add-on than a destination in its own right. The grounds are floodlit, which means you are not limited to daylight and can play a round in the evening. Last balls are served about 30 minutes before closing, so leave yourself time. If nine holes feels short, the usual move is to go round twice for an 18-hole total.
Good to know
You can book a round online through the Metro Golf Centre website, and the venue handles birthday parties and group bookings too. Standard pricing is not published on the site, though deal sites have historically listed rounds from roughly £6 a person, so check directly for current rates. There is a Metro Pizzeria, an Italian restaurant, right beside the course, which makes it easy to turn a round into a meal. Important: the adventure golf was recently listed as closed for maintenance until further notice, so confirm it is open before you travel.
Getting there
The centre is on Champions Way in Hendon, NW4 1PX, part of the wider Barnet Copthall sports complex. Colindale on the Northern line is the closest station, a little under a mile away, with Hendon Thameslink and Brent Cross also within reach. There is parking on site, which is handy given the spread of facilities. Beyond the adventure golf you will also find a multi-tier driving range, a Par 3 course and an indoor golf simulator, so it works as a longer outing if you want one.
