Breakdown
Parent summary
Herne Bay Mini Golf has friendly, helpful staff and a well-maintained, compact course that's easy to navigate. The seafront location is appealing, though the venue sits next to an arcade and can get busy during peak times.
What visitors say
Visitors have praised the well-maintained, compact course and friendly staff, with many noting it's good value and suitable for a range of ages. The small space means queues can build during busier periods, and the seafront location next to an arcade may create additional sensory input. Gravel paths are used on the course, and the venue is not wheelchair accessible – worth checking in advance if these factors are relevant for your child.
