Whitley Bay Mini-Golf

About:

Whitley Bay Mini Golf and FootGolf is a relaxed, scenic attraction on The Links, perfectly placed for a seaside day out in Whitley Bay. Set close to the coast, it offers a simple but enjoyable way to spend time between walks along the promenade, visits to Spanish City, trips to the beach or family stops at nearby Waves Leisure Centre.

The attraction includes scenic 9-hole and 18-hole courses, giving visitors the option of a shorter game or a longer, more leisurely round. It is not a flashy themed crazy golf course; its appeal is more traditional and coastal, with open-air views, fresh sea air and a gentle pace that suits families, couples and groups. The course has a classic pitch-and-putt feel, with enough challenge to make the game fun without making it too serious. North Tyneside Council describes it as a scenic 9 and 18 hole course, with advance booking available but not essential.

One of the best things about Whitley Bay Mini Golf is that it is easy to fit into a wider day out. You can play a round after breakfast in town, stop by after a walk along the seafront, or use it as a light-hearted break before heading on to St Mary’s Lighthouse. The clubhouse also offers refreshments and snacks, and visitors can access toilet facilities, which makes it a practical stop as well as a fun one. Clubs are available in different sizes for adults and juniors, with options for both right and left-handed players.

FootGolf adds another playful element, combining football with golf-style scoring. Footballs, scorecards and tees are provided free of charge, making it an easy activity to try without needing your own equipment.

As part of a Whitley Bay itinerary, Mini Golf brings a lovely bit of old-fashioned seaside fun. It is active without being exhausting, competitive without being too intense, and scenic enough to feel properly tied to the coast. Whether you are visiting with children, friends or just fancy something cheerful between sightseeing stops, it is a charming way to enjoy Whitley Bay at a slower pace.
