Mini Golf in Southbank

What to Know Before Booking Mini Golf

Putting in Southbank splits two ways. PLAYit Southgate is a family-owned, alcohol-free games floor on Level M of the Southgate centre, above the riverfront promenade; Holey Moley Crown Melbourne is a grown-up night out in the Crown complex, with 18 themed holes over two courses and a cocktail bar on hand. Weighing them up:

PLAYit Southgate, 3 Southgate Ave – the PUTTit course plus driving games, basketball hoops, air hockey and claw cranes, with packages from $35 per person.
Holey Moley Crown Melbourne, 8 Whiteman St – rounds from $23 per person, cheaper Monday to Wednesday.
PLAYit parties need at least eight guests and must be booked ahead.
Holey Moley's per-head group packages start at 10 players, with a reserved area, food and a drinks package.
Both are indoors and welcome kids.

For a child's birthday, the arcade, claw machines and prize tickets at Southgate are the natural pick; for a work night or an adult birthday, Holey Moley adds escape rooms and karaoke under the same roof.

Golf and Game is the starting package: 45 minutes of arcade play, a round of mini golf, three claw attempts, a feature game and a bundle of prize tickets for each guest.
A lanyard and small plush go to the birthday child.
Higher packages lengthen the arcade session to a full hour and add Grid Rush, the tiled floor game that lights up.
They also include a kids meal from San Churro or Yassas in the same centre.

Red Herring Escape Rooms offers three themed stories – Alien Invaders, Old Haunt and Shutdown – each with its own difficulty.
Juke's, a 70s-styled bar, has 10 private karaoke rooms and a pianist.
Between 5pm and 8pm, any under-18 needs a parent or guardian alongside, and ID checks apply to all after 8pm.
A nine-hole round runs about 25 to 40 minutes, as play is capped per hole.
