BIRDIES is London’s newest crazy golf venue and latest social sports and hospitality venture by That Social Place. Located under the iconic Battersea Power Station train arches the site provides a natural den to discover and immerse yourself in a combination of cocktails, fusion tacos and the craziest of crazy golf courses. Front of house is a 75 cover cocktail bar of vibrant neon furniture and oversized hanging glass pendant features. A perfect pre and post round spot for drinks and social meet ups in the Battersea village. The design approach on each hole was to challenge, confuse and inspire simultaneously whilst adding a layer of golf ‘pun’ humour along the way. Each hole has a specific golf theme, not necessarily obvious to the player but present nevertheless. Players can lose themselves in a kaleidoscope of colour, light and music. Industrial materials juxtaposed with neon, plexiglass and bold graphic narrative gives every hole both an identity but also real gameplay meaning. A riot of imagery to excite any player and guide them through 9 individual holes in a crazy landscape installed in an old brick tunnel.
