Caddi Club has the broader clubhouse footprint

Caddi Club currently lists four London locations: Chelsea, Fulham, Waterloo and Wimbledon. The venues vary. Chelsea has four Trackman bays, a lounge and bar. Fulham has six bays, a restaurant and lounge. Waterloo has four bays and a bar. Wimbledon is the largest, with 12 bays, a restaurant, lounge and outdoor terrace. Caddi Club is not simply somewhere to rent a simulator. Food, drink, member golf days and community are built into its memberships. For somebody trying to recreate some of the social life of a traditional golf club without leaving London, that is likely to be appealing.

Grip Golf is more deliberately practice-led

Grip Golf's two London studios are smaller and more focused. Tower Bridge currently has four private Trackman 4 bays alongside dedicated coaching rooms and a Wellputt putting studio.

Deptford Park has two private Trackman bays and acts as Grip Golf's coaching home, with putting facilities and beginner programmes.

There are member socials and corporate events, but they do not dominate the physical experience. You can arrive, practise for an hour and leave without your session needing to become a social occasion.

For many golfers, that is exactly the point.

Which is better for improving your golf?

Both businesses offer the ingredients needed to improve: quality simulator technology, coaching and the ability to practise year-round.

Caddi Club's Improver membership is particularly explicit about combining the two. It currently includes eight hours of simulator time per month and one one-hour PGA lesson each month.

Its Complete membership adds more simulator access and two lessons per month.

Grip Golf separates membership and coaching more flexibly. Its memberships provide the practice infrastructure, while golfers can add professional lessons according to their own needs.

The best structure depends on how you learn. Some golfers like coaching bundled into a regular monthly commitment. Others want a block of lessons, followed by several weeks to practise independently.

How do membership prices compare?

As of August 2026, Caddi Club advertises:

• Social from £120 per month, with four hours of simulator sessions
• Improver from £190 per month, with eight hours and one PGA lesson
• Complete from £300 per month, with enhanced simulator access and two PGA lessons

A one-time joining fee of £180 applies. Grip Golf currently offers:

• Green at £80 per month, including four hours
• Gold at £120 per month, with unlimited off-peak practice plus eight peak sessions
• Platinum at £160 per month, with unlimited on- and off-peak practice within published limits and access to both studios

Grip Golf charges a £50 joining fee. These are not like-for-like products. Caddi Club includes hospitality discounts and, at higher levels, coaching. Grip Golf's higher tiers put more weight on practice volume.

Compare the membership you would actually use rather than matching rows by price.

The 24/7 difference

Grip Golf Tower Bridge is open 24 hours a day to members. Caddi Club's published venue hours are broad, generally starting at 7am, but they are conventional staffed opening hours.

If you mostly practise at 6pm, that distinction may mean nothing. If your work changes week to week, or you actively want to practise very early or late, it can mean everything.

The value of 24/7 access is not that most members want to hit balls at 2am. It is knowing that opening hours are never the reason you miss a session.

Which is better for social golf?

Caddi Club has the advantage if a social clubhouse is what you want. Its restaurants, bars, lounges, terraces and member events make it possible for golf to sit inside a longer visit. It can be somewhere to play, eat and spend time with people.

Grip Golf is social in a different way. Members can bring guests, join the Grip Golf community and attend events, and the studios host corporate groups.

But Grip Golf's everyday product remains golf-first. If you want a destination, Caddi Club's larger venues may appeal.

If you want somewhere you can disappear into for an hour of uninterrupted practice, Grip Golf may feel more natural.

What about beginners?

Both welcome beginners. Caddi Club offers lessons and positions its venues as accessible regardless of level.

Grip Golf estimates that roughly a third of its new members had never held a club before joining. Deptford Park has a dedicated beginner programme, while free trial sessions introduce new golfers to Trackman with a coach present.

Indoor golf can be an easier entry point than a traditional range or course because you control the environment.

No rain. No group waiting behind you. No need to understand golf etiquette before you have even learnt how to grip the club.

Grip Golf or Caddi Club: which should you choose?

Choose Caddi Club if you want a broad London footprint and the social infrastructure of a modern clubhouse: food, drinks, lounges, events and golf in the same place.

Choose Grip Golf if the reason you are paying for indoor golf is primarily to practise frequently, work with a coach and track your improvement.

There is a revealing way to think about it. If you finished your simulator session and happily stayed another two hours, Caddi Club's wider clubhouse proposition has obvious value.

If you are already thinking about what the Trackman numbers from the session mean for tomorrow's practice, Grip Golf is probably speaking your language.

Try Grip Golf for yourself

A Grip Golf free trial gives you 30 minutes in a Trackman bay with a professional coach.

There is no card required and no obligation to become a member. Use the session to decide whether a smaller, practice-led indoor golf club is what you actually want. If it is not, London now has plenty of other ways to play.
