It’s warming up in the East Bay, and its the perfect time for mini-golf fun at Putter’s Goat Track Country Club — a charming, neighborhood mini-golf course in Walnut Creek. We made an impromptu visit with family one weekend and enjoyed some family-friendly competition. It’s a great outdoor activity for kids (and adults) of all ages.

Putter’s Goat Track Country Club is a deceptively large course. I think there are around 22 holes, but to be honest I lost count. Each of the holes is unique and carefully built by the owner (check out his story of building a patio golf course to what it is today).

We also appreciated that the course is dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your pup along, too. Putter’s Goat Track Country Club does birthday parties, too!

Pro tip: if you go to the Walnut Creek location on a sunny day and are looking for a cool refreshment, don’t forget to check out Third Culture Bakery across the street. An iced matcha-strawberry latte (and maybe a mochi donut or two) should do the trick.
