Staff WriterCaddi Club is not just marking a birthday — it is making a bit of a racket while doing it. Four years after opening its doors in Chelsea, the indoor golf network has grown into England’s biggest operator in the space, with venues now in Fulham, Waterloo, Wimbledon and Chelsea, plus a fifth site due to open this spring.
That is a serious rise in a short time. What started as The Chelsea Golf Club has turned into a fast-growing London golf machine, pulling in thousands of players and proving that modern golfers are more than happy to swap muddy fairways and glacial rounds for Trackman numbers, sharp coaching and a decent drink afterwards.
London Golfers Are Buying In
The clue is in the demand. Caddi Club is now regularly engaging with more than 3,000 golfers across its venues, and two of its sites — Waterloo and Chelsea — are already full on memberships, with waiting lists in place.
Fulham is also pushing close to capacity, though still keeping the doors open for pay-and-play visitors. That matters, because one of the reasons Caddi Club is working is that it is not just catering to one type of golfer. Serious players can train properly, beginners can learn without embarrassment, and social groups can come in, have a game and not take themselves too seriously.
That sort of mix is not easy to build. Golf can be brilliant, but it can also be terribly good at making newcomers feel like they’ve turned up to the wrong wedding. Caddi Club seems to have sidestepped that problem.
Why Caddi Club Is Working
The formula is simple enough: make golf easier to access, easier to improve at, and far easier to fit into London life.
Every Caddi Club venue uses Trackman technology, so players get all the data, feedback and course-play options they could want. But this is not just about watching numbers flash across a screen like you are trying to launch a missile. Each site also has its own Golf Professional, meaning members can actually turn those numbers into improvement.
That is where the business has been clever. It has not sold indoor golf as a poor substitute for the outdoors. It has sold it as a useful, social and enjoyable way to play more golf, more often.
And in London, where time is usually in shorter supply than sunlight in January, that is a strong pitch.
Big Venues, Big Numbers, Big Ambition
The newest and biggest site, Caddi Club Wimbledon, has already become a popular draw, and it is easy to see why. It has 12 Trackman bays, a 360R racing simulator, event space, and a full restaurant and bar. In other words, it is less a range with a roof and more a full-blown entertainment venue with golf at its heart.
Fulham has its own charm too, sitting on the waterfront overlooking the River Thames. It gives the place a bit of atmosphere and helps explain why it has become a popular option for group bookings and entertaining in the capital.
Across all locations, golfers have now hit more than 20 million shots, while the business is forecasting revenue of more than £4,000,000 by the end of 2026. Those are not hobby numbers. That is a business with real traction.
The most-played Trackman courses across the network are The Old Course at St Andrews, Adare Manor, Bethpage Black and Wentworth’s West Course. That list tells you golfers still love a bucket-list venue, even if they are standing in trainers with a pint never more than a few yards away.
There is also a softer entry point. Trackman’s virtual short course, London Gardens, has become a popular first taste of playing golf away from the range for many beginners at Caddi Club. And that, quietly, may be one of the smartest moves of the lot.
Fresh Faces for the Next Phase
Growth is one thing. Managing it properly is another.
Caddi Club has recently strengthened its senior team with two notable hires. Maria Dunn joined at the start of 2026 as Area Manager, bringing experience from member-focused businesses including Sixes Social Cricket and Coppa Club. She now oversees operations across the four venues.
James Somerside followed in February as Head of Golf. With previous experience at IMG, TaylorMade and GolfBreaks, he arrives with the kind of golf industry pedigree that suggests Caddi Club wants to do more than simply open more doors. Partnerships, better golf delivery and a deeper role within the wider golf world all seem firmly on the agenda.
That makes sense. A business like this does not just need bays and bookings. It needs people who understand how to build a proper golf brand.
Indoor Golf Is No Longer the Side Show
There was a time when indoor golf was treated like a novelty — something to do when the weather was dreadful or the range was shut. Not anymore.
What Caddi Club has tapped into is the fact that lots of golfers want flexibility, structure and convenience just as much as they want tradition. They want to practice after work. They want lessons that fit into real life. They want to play famous courses without needing a full spare day and a forgiving forecast.
That does not replace outdoor golf. But it absolutely complements it. And for some players, especially in cities, it may well become the main event.
Founder Aaron Lloyd-Goodwin said: “It’s been incredible to see golfers across London connect with our venues and truly integrate us into their golfing lives. Whether we’re a supplement to their outdoor golf, or the only place they play, we truly feel that we’ve built the most connected community of golfers in London”.
Lloyd-Goodwin continued: “The additions of Maria and James help to set the business up for ongoing success as we look to expand our operations and membership capacity over the coming years. I’m delighted to have them both on board as part of our senior team, helping to shape the Caddi Club business for years to come”.
The Verdict on Caddi Club
The big story with Caddi Club is not just that it is growing. It is that it has made itself relevant.
It has found the sweet spot between golf, convenience, coaching and social life, and done it in a city where attention is hard to grab and even harder to keep. Packed memberships, waiting lists and expansion plans suggest this is no flash in the pan.
Indoor golf in London is no longer a niche curiosity. Thanks in no small part to Caddi Club, it is starting to look like the future with the lights on.
