World Of Golf

I’m not a golfer so the golf range, potting green and shop are lost on me but appear very popular and busy. I love to pop into the café, a lovely place with lovely staff. I like to nip in here for a light bite to eat or just a coffee. I especially love their flavoured teas. The food is made on the premises, to order so at lunch times it can get busy. They’re open late most night, which is great if you’re looking for a quiet coffee. They have a great outdoor seating area, lovely in a sunny day.

What an awful experience. I popped in here while in glasgow and the staff were so dissmisive and unhelpful. The store was a mess and disorganised. The manager is obviously on a bonus scheme as I was being bullied into buying a set of clubs that I was not happy with. Horrible experience-​I ended up going to affordable golf on Hyde park street glasgow which was a truly excellent experience and had clubs at my budget and that I felt comfortable with.

A great place to whack some balls. Café is somewhat pretentious and expensive.

In an area almost entirely devoid of decent eating out options, World of Golf represents a surprisingly good location to get some good, hearty fare at reasonable prices.
OK, so first and foremost it is a driving range, and very good it looks too. However, as a non-​golfer I’m afraid I cannot comment authoritatively on the intricacies of the facilities on offer.
However, as a big eater, I’m in an excellent position to comment on the food, which is tasty and filling. Most main meals will set you back little over a fiver and they certainly don’t hold back on the portions. The menu itself is fairly basic; burgers, wraps, baguettes, but it’s a million miles away from the sort of rubbery, over-​priced fare you get in most child-​friendly cafes.
Which leads me on to another of the facility’s selling points. Offering an extensive kids menu, high chairs and a small selection of toys, this is a pleasant place to take your sprog for the day. Given how barren this stretch of Great Western Road generally is, World of Golf is providing a fantastic service for families in the area.

World of Golf is an excellent place to stop by for lunch, particularly if you have children. It is appreciated by local mums, dads and grandparents as there is nowhere else like it in the area.
The menu has a children’s section with kiddie favourites such as chips, sausages and beans. There is also a few toys for youngsters to play with.
I ordered the vegetable fajitas when I visited which were yummy and very reasonably priced. I then treated myself to a hot chocolate with marshmallows which was delicious too.
Can’t comment on the actual driving ranges as I didn’t try them out. However, they looked pretty cool from where I was sitting.

This Golfing experience is quite surreal, however this may have been partly due to the novelty of visiting last night when night had fallen. Driving in to the car park, as I imagine it would be slightly difficult to get there by public transport, the number of cars was tremendous for a driving range at that time. I was soon to find out why.
Quite some way outside of the City itself, World of Golf at 8.30 on a Thursday evening was full to the brim with those professional golfing enthusiasts, and the counterpart guys swinging for the air, leaving the golf ball comfortably sitting on the green. I feel obliged to mention, I fitted in quite nicely with the later of the two, where children were leaps and bound ahead of me. That being said, a thouroughly enjoyable experience was had by both me and my boyfriend, who sadly for me fits the description of the first of the two types of players mentioned.
As driving ranges go, they are generally quite satandard, rubber tees, token ball machines, small golfing goods for sale in the reception area. Well World of Golf, as highlighted by the name is Bigger and Better. The golf store alongside the reception was vast and varied in product range. Staff were very polite and accommodating, with the bonus of offering clubs, waiving the general fee of £2 per club. I was tempted again by the novelty, and choose a booth on level 2, yep thats right there are two levels. Lift was in my favour with the extra height, and I managed to re-​tune my golfing prowess for a good two to three swings, as a contented Ping noise sent my ball out in to the floodlit well-​kempt grass range.
150 balls between two people who haven’t played in around 5 years was ambitious, leaving cramp in the hands of both my better half and I, who once out of balls, retreated to the warmth of the café. Howbeit, I am now hooked once again to golf, with a reasonably close location and at a one off ‘pay as you go’ price of just over £6 it is hard to resist. I recommend everyone who plays or has played golf and let it fade away to dig out their clubs and glove, blow off the dust and roll down to World of Golf Glasgow and hit some balls on to the fairway.
Enjoy
