Mini Golf in the Hills District

What to Know Before Booking Mini Golf

The Hills District's mini golf splits neatly by mood: a night out with a bar and driving range at Norwest, or a garden afternoon out on Old Northern Road. Swing City Golf trades from Norbrik Drive, Bella Vista, while Dural Putt Putt sits on the corner of Cranstons Road in Middle Dural.

Both are in a car-friendly part of Sydney, but only one is on the train network: the Metro North West line runs through Bella Vista, and Middle Dural is a drive.

Weighing up Norwest against Old Northern Road:

Hours: Swing City Golf opens from 7am daily and stays open into the night, while Dural Putt Putt runs Friday to Sunday plus every day of the school holidays.
Setting: Norbrik Drive pairs one 18-hole course with a driving range and arcade; Middle Dural has two themed courses, Camelot and Space Trek, laid out through gardens.
Crowd: Swing City's licensed bistro and its events for 15 to 500 guests point to adults, while groups from 10 book Dural Putt Putt, which is set up for children's parties.
