Southwold Putting Green & Cafe

Southwold Putting Green & Café sits on the seafront near the pier, combining a proper café with a putting green—the sort of place that keeps a dog walk moving without sacrificing coffee or a bite to eat.

Dogs are welcome inside and out and guide dogs are actively catered for, so everyone settles in easily on a lazy afternoon or a brisk seaside break. The café side is quick and practical: decent for a sit-down or a takeaway, with the putting green offering a legitimate reason to linger on the North Parade. Water bowls appear near the tables, a small detail that says the place understands dog logistics.

A seafront café paired with a putting activity makes this a proper visitor stop rather than a quick pass-through—ideal when you need a proper coffee, a sniff break for the dog and something to do that doesn't involve a four-hour stare at the sea.
