There aren’t many quality options for miniature golf in Seattle. The weather in the Northwest just isn’t nice enough to support mini golf most of the year. There are courses in Redmond, Newcastle, and Tukwila (among others), but there’s only one miniature golf course that stands out in Seattle. That’s at Interbay Golf Center.
I had been to Interbay Golf Center several times to hit balls at the driving range, but never to play miniature golf. That all changed when I took my 10-year-old nephew out there the other day. To put it simply, we had a blast!
You won’t find loop-the-loops or crazy ramps on the Interbay miniature golf course; instead, the 18-hole course offers challenging, longer holes (almost like you’re putting on a real green). The only obstacles you’ll find are rocks in the middle of the greens or breaks from hills and bumps on the course. There is a waterfall and a couple of small ponds at Interbay Golf Center, but they don’t come into play.
Just like any miniature golf course, you need to bring your patience. There’s no such thing as pace of play. The course is first come, first served. When my nephew and I were at Interbay, there were groups of five or six people playing on some holes. Plus, there’s supposed to be a six-stroke limit on every hole, but no one pays attention to that. With that said, everyone is playing for a good time. It’s not a race so just sit back and enjoy yourself. I saw several groups playing with beer in hand, so that’s an option for the adults out there.
If you’re looking for miniature golf in Seattle, Interbay Golf Center is the place to be. It’s kind of by default (because there aren’t other options), but you’re bound to have fun as well. Interbay remains a relatively inexpensive Seattle activity, with separate rates for adults and juniors. Check current mini-golf rates before you go. There’s no doubt we’ll be back there again soon!
