This is part of our Indoor Play series at Inner Drive Golf.
If you’re searching for things to do in Surrey with family or looking for something different to do with friends, indoor golf is quickly becoming one of the most popular options - and you can book indoor golf here.
It blends interactive games with real golf technology, creating a relaxed, social experience that works just as well for complete beginners as it does for regular players.
And importantly — it’s not really about golf.
It’s about doing something together.
Fun Games for All Abilities
One of the biggest reasons indoor golf is growing so quickly is how accessible it is.
There’s no need to have played before. No pressure to be good. No long rounds or waiting around.
Instead, you can jump straight into a range of interactive games:
Closest-to-the-pin challenges
Target-based scoring games
Points competitions designed for groups
Quick formats that keep everyone involved
Because of this, it works brilliantly for mixed groups. Whether someone plays every week or has never picked up a club, everyone can take part — and more importantly, compete.
That’s what makes it one of the more engaging family activities in Surrey.
A Proper Social Experience
Indoor golf shifts the focus away from “playing well” and towards simply enjoying the experience.
You share a bay, take turns, chat between shots, and naturally fall into a rhythm of light competition and conversation.
It works just as well for:
Family time
Birthdays
Group outings
Casual evenings with friends
It’s something to do, rather than just somewhere to go.

Not Just for Golfers
A common misconception is that indoor golf is only for golfers.
In reality, many of the best sessions include a mix of abilities. The games level things out, meaning accuracy, consistency, and a bit of luck often matter more than experience.
For beginners, it’s an easy and unintimidating way to try something new.
For regular golfers, it adds a different kind of challenge — one that’s competitive, but relaxed.
