Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of golf should I expect at Whitley Bay Links Mini Golf - is it just putting?

Don't let 'mini golf' fool you; this is a proper Pitch & Putt experience, not just windmills and clown mouths. You'll be using a wedge and a putter, tackling some surprisingly tricky short holes that demand a good touch around the greens. It's a fantastic way to sharpen your short game without committing to a full round.

When's the best time of year to play Whitley Bay Links Mini Golf, considering it's on the coast?

We highly recommend visiting on a clear, calm day, ideally in late spring or early autumn to avoid the peak summer crowds. The coastal breeze can be a real factor here, adding an extra layer of challenge to your shots, so check the forecast before you head out. A sunny, breezy afternoon makes for a brilliant round.

How does the 'Links' aspect really come through on this mini golf course?

You'll notice the subtle undulations and natural contours that mimic a true links course, even on this smaller scale. Expect some clever bunkering and strategically placed rough that will test your chipping accuracy, rather than just flat, predictable greens. It truly feels like a scaled-down version of a championship course, which is a rare treat for a Pitch & Putt.

Is Whitley Bay Links Mini Golf suitable for beginners or families with younger kids?

Absolutely, it's perfect for all skill levels, from seasoned golfers looking to practice their short game to families wanting a fun outing. The holes are short enough to keep everyone engaged, but challenging enough to make it interesting for experienced players. It's a fantastic way to introduce kids to the game in a relaxed, enjoyable setting.

What's the typical cost and how long does a round usually take at Whitley Bay Links Mini Golf?

You'll find the pricing very reasonable for an 18-hole Pitch & Putt, usually just a few pounds per person, with discounts often available for families. A round typically takes about 60-90 minutes, depending on how busy it is and your group size. It's a great value for a solid hour-plus of golf fun.
