If you're after indoor golf near Kingswood or Longwell Green, you don't have to travel far at all. The Golf Cabin in Wick (BS30 5QF) sits just up the A420, a short and easy drive from both, with free on-site parking and two private simulator bays open every day from 6am to midnight. You get a warm, weatherproof place to play real golf shots on tour-grade kit — whatever it's doing outside — without the trek into Bristol or the faff of a city-centre car park.

This guide covers how close we really are, what indoor golf involves, what it costs, and why it's such an easy plan for anyone in the KL and BS30 postcodes. Whether you're a regular golfer wanting winter practice or a group after a fun night out, here's everything you need to know.

How close is The Golf Cabin to Kingswood and Longwell Green?

The Golf Cabin is only a few minutes' drive from both Kingswood and Longwell Green. We're in Wick, just off the A420, so from Longwell Green you're heading out through Warmley and Bridgeyate, and from Kingswood it's a straight run along the same road. There's no motorway slog and no city traffic to fight through — and if you're coming from further out, the M4 (Junction 18) drops you onto the A420 too.

Best of all, there's free on-site parking right at the door, so you can arrive with clubs, kids or a full group and simply walk in. No hunting for a space, no parking charges, no long walk from a multi-storey.

What is indoor golf, and how does it work?

Indoor golf means hitting real golf shots with real clubs into a large impact screen, while tour-grade tracking measures every swing and plays the result back in front of you. You watch your ball fly down a virtual fairway, and you can play world-famous courses or practise with live data — all under cover, whatever the weather. It feels like real golf, not a video game.

At The Golf Cabin, a tour-grade radar works alongside a high-speed camera that watches both club and ball. Your shot is projected in 4K onto a large impact screen, with premium turf underfoot and dual-handed mats so left and right-handers are both covered. If you want the full picture before you visit, our complete guide to indoor golf in Bristol walks through the whole experience.

Why choose indoor golf over the local driving range?

A traditional driving range lets you hit balls, but you're guessing where they really went and you're at the mercy of the weather. Indoor golf gives you the same swings with precise data on every shot, plus the option to play full courses rather than just bash balls into a field. On a wet or freezing evening — which is most of them, from November to March — a warm, dry bay wins every time.

For golfers in Kingswood and Longwell Green, that means no rained-off sessions and no dark-nights excuse. You book your hour, you turn up, and the conditions in the bay are always perfect. It's the easiest way to keep playing when the local courses are soaked or shut.

How much does indoor golf near Kingswood cost?

Indoor golf at The Golf Cabin starts from £25 an hour per bay, and because a bay fits up to four players, splitting the cost works out at roughly from about £6 per person. You book the whole bay by the hour, not a seat per person, so the more you bring, the better the value per head.

Do I need my own clubs or any experience?

No to both. Club hire is included free with every session, and the mats are dual-handed, so left and right-handers are covered without bringing a thing. There's no dress code either — trainers are absolutely fine — and no experience is needed at all. Plenty of first-timers come purely for a social hit having never held a club.

The instant, plain-English feedback on screen takes the intimidation out of it, so beginners feel at home from the very first swing. If it's your first time in a simulator, here's exactly what to expect so you can walk in relaxed.

Is indoor golf a good plan for groups and families?

It's a brilliant one. A private bay takes up to four players, and with two bays you can bring up to around eight people across both — ideal for mates, families, a birthday or a casual work do. You play together, switch between world courses and on-screen mini-games, and the competitive edge keeps everyone involved whatever their ability. Under-18s are welcome when supervised by an adult.

Because everyone in Kingswood and Longwell Green is so close, it's an easy plan to pull together at short notice. It's one of the best indoor activities near Bristol for groups, rain or shine. Planning something for a bigger crowd? Get in touch and we'll help you sort it.

What can you play on the simulator?

Plenty — which is part of why it stays fun visit after visit. You can play full rounds on world-famous courses like Pebble Beach, St Andrews and Wentworth, taking on the same holes the pros play without leaving BS30. If you'd rather practise, there's a driving range with dispersion plotting so you can see exactly where your shots are going and work on a specific target.

For groups and mixed abilities, the on-screen mini-games and competitions are the real draw — closest-to-the-pin, longest drive and points-based games keep everyone involved, whether they're a low handicapper or have never held a club. And because every shot comes with data in plain English — carry, ball speed, club speed and more — keen golfers get genuine feedback while everyone else just enjoys the show. It's as serious or as social as you want to make it.

What else is nearby?

Wick sits in easy reach of plenty of the east-Bristol and South Gloucestershire towns, so a round of indoor golf slots neatly into a wider day out. Keynsham, Warmley, Bitton and Bath are all a short hop away, and there are walks, cafes and shops close by if you want to make an afternoon of it.
