Hole-In-1 Lynmouth
Tucked between Lynmouth’s harbour and the rising hills of Exmoor, Hole-in-1 is more than just a 36-hole putting green — it’s an essential part of the North Devon holiday tradition.
With sweeping sea views, two unique 18-hole courses, and a welcoming atmosphere for all ages, this classic seaside attraction continues to delight generations of visitors. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend break or a full summer escape, a round at Hole-in-1 offers fun, friendly competition in one of the most scenic spots on the Devon coast.
Why Play Mini Golf in Lynmouth?
There’s something timeless about a putting green by the sea — the sound of gulls, the salty breeze, the gentle clack of a golf ball as it rolls across the green. Hole-in-1 captures that feeling perfectly.
And with 36 holes split across two courses, you can make a quick game of it or stay and play for hours.
A Slice of Seaside Tradition
Seaside putting greens have been part of the British holiday experience since the early 20th century. Originally inspired by the rise of golf as a gentleman’s pastime, putting greens made the sport accessible to everyone. Lynmouth’s Hole-in-1 proudly continues that legacy — a place where kids can beat their parents, couples can share a laugh, and friends can enjoy a bit of banter over the trickier holes. This isn’t just mini golf — it’s a piece of Lynmouth’s holiday heritage.
Open to All, Fun for All
Whether you’re a putting pro or a total beginner, Hole-in-1 is designed to be inclusive and easy-going. There’s no booking required — just turn up, grab your club, and get started. With its laid-back vibe and beautifully maintained course, it’s the kind of place where people of all ages can join in the fun. Many visitors make it part of their annual Exmoor visit, with parents returning years later with their own children to share the experience.
Refuel at the Kiosk
No seaside activity is complete without a treat. The on-site kiosk at Hole-in-1 serves up ice creams, hot and cold drinks, and light snacks, perfect for a mid-game break or post-putting reward. Sit back, enjoy the view over the harbour, and watch the world go by — it’s as relaxing as it is fun.
Everything in Walking Distance
With shops, cafes, riverside trails, and the beach — you can easily make Hole-in-1 part of a full day out in Lynton and Lynmouth.
Make It Part of Your Lynton & Lynmouth Adventure
Hole-in-1 is ideally located in the heart of Lynmouth’s seafront, just a stone’s throw from the harbour, the Cliff Railway, and the riverside promenade. It’s a great way to break up the day between cream teas, cliff walks, and scenic drives through Exmoor.
If you’re arriving by car, several local car parks are within easy walking distance:
The Esplanade Car Park – right along the waterfront, closest to the putting green
Lower and Upper Lyndale Car Parks – just uphill with access to both villages
Foreshore Car Park – available during peak season only
All car parks are pay-and-display, with contactless card payment or the RingGo app accepted. For those planning a longer stay or multiple visits, 4-day and 7-day parking permits are available to purchase from the Lynmouth Pavilion, just across from the putting green.
