Description
Bognor Regis Mini Golf is a classic, beautifully kept 18-hole miniature golf course perfectly positioned on the vibrant seafront of Bognor Regis, West Sussex. Set across a third of an acre of elegantly landscaped coastal gardens, this traditional attraction sits directly opposite the historic Bognor Pier and is just a brief two-minute stroll from the bustling town centre. Since its establishment in 1993, the course has proudly stood as a fine, enduring example of a classic Arnold Palmer putting layout, offering families a wonderful dash of nostalgia alongside crisp sea views.
Families visiting this sunny south coast town will find the course to be an incredibly budget-friendly way to introduce some friendly competition into their beach day. It provides a fantastic environment for toddlers, older kids, and parents to test their skills against a series of skillfully designed turf fairways, surrounded by floral displays that are regularly designed by local youth groups as part of the community's annual "In Bloom" initiative.
If you are looking for one of the best things to do with kids in Bognor Regis for a quick, engaging outdoor activity, this seafront green provides an ideal mix of seaside fun and relaxed pacing. It serves as a brilliant weekend highlight, a sunny school holiday treat, or the perfect companion activity to an afternoon spent building sandcastles on the adjacent pebbled shoreline.

Top 5 Highlights
- Conquering the Helter-Skelter & Windmill: Navigating the course’s classic structural obstacles is the main event. Children will love timing their putts perfectly to pass through the rotating sails of the traditional windmill or watching their ball roll down the spiraled ramp of the miniature helter-skelter.
- The 18th Hole Lucky Bell: The final hole is packed with excitement. If a player manages to master the slope and sink their final putt with precision, they get to loudly ring the built-in victory bell, earning a golden ticket for a completely free future round of golf.
- Award-Winning Community Flowerbeds: As you move between the putting greens, take time to look at the vibrant, custom-planted floral displays. Every year, local youth organizations compete to design these beds, which are then officially planted to showcase local community pride.
- Public Bowling Green Matches: Introduce the kids to a traditional British pastime on the open-air lawn bowling greens located just past the putting turf. Friendly, professional coaching services are often available to help get the whole family rolling.
- Spotting the Historic Pier Views: Thanks to its prime positioning on Waterloo Square, the course serves as a fantastic viewing point. Parents can sit back and take beautiful, sun-drenched family photos with the classic framework of Bognor Pier cutting across the horizon.
Beyond the Main Attraction: Waterloo Square sits directly at the centre of family-friendly coastal entertainment in Bognor Regis. Just steps across the promenade is the wide, sandy-and-pebbled Bognor Regis Beach, where children can board the seasonal Promenade Train or explore the shoreline. For premium sweet treats, parents can walk a few minutes to the famous local Pinks Parlour or Sweet Flamingos for a scoop of artisan gelato. If you fancy trying a different style of putting, the larger, heavily themed Wildforest Falls Adventure Golf is located just 0.4 miles away inside the leafy surrounds of Hotham Park.
