Good-value seafront mini golf, though it’s more neat and tidy than thrilling.
The long read worth saving for nap time
What’s it actually like?
Herne Bay Mini Golf is a seafront adventure golf course, right by the pier area and next to the iFun arcade. Reviews describe it as compact but well laid out, with all the equipment provided and a straightforward setup that suits a quick family outing. The appeal is mainly in how easy it is to use with children: there are simple sections for younger players, while older kids and adults still get a bit of challenge. Several reviewers mention it being good fun and sensibly priced, and the staff in the kiosk get a friendly mention too. The downside is that it sounds a little basic. One review wanted more obstacles on the holes, and another was scathing about the state of things, so don’t expect a showstopper. It’s best for families who want a decent seaside activity without shelling out a fortune.
