What to Know Before Booking Mini Golf

Putt-putt suits almost any group because nobody needs to be good at it. The ACT has three quite different courses: a themed indoor course in Civic, two outdoor courses by the lake at Yarralumla with holes styled on local landmarks, and a landscaped 18-hole course at Gold Creek in Nicholls on the Gungahlin side.

Party packages start from about $23 per person indoors and $25 per person at the lakeside courses.

Choosing a course:

  • Season. The indoor course works year-round; the outdoor courses are pleasant in spring and autumn and easier in the morning when summer afternoons turn hot.
  • Group type. Kids' party packages run at the Civic and Yarralumla courses, while work groups can book catered team packages or after-hours play.
  • Food. Ask whether pizza or a platter is part of the package, or whether you order separately.
  • Pace. Ask how long a round of 18 holes takes for a big group, and whether the venue sends groups off in waves.

Mini golf pairs well with a meal nearby in Civic or Gold Creek. See team building and birthday parties for other ideas.

Three courses, three settings

  • Civic's indoor course is themed hole by hole, with pizzas and burgers and packages for adults and kids.
  • Yarralumla has 36 outdoor holes by the lake, styled on local landmarks, with hosted kids' parties and catered team packages.
  • Gold Creek's landscaped course in Nicholls takes private after-hours bookings for groups of 10 or more.

Planning a group round

  • Split large groups into teams of four to keep the round moving.
  • Ask about a private or after-hours booking so your group has the course to itself.
  • Keep a simple scorecard competition with a small prize for the winning team.
  • Allow time for food and photos after the round rather than squeezing them in between holes.

For work groups

  • Mini golf suits mixed-ability teams, as nobody needs special fitness or skill.
  • End-of-year bookings fill quickly, as that is the busy stretch for work functions.
  • For a puzzle-based alternative, see escape rooms.
