Frequently Asked Questions

Mini golf, also known as putt-putt golf, is a scaled-down version of traditional golf. It's played with a putter and a golf ball on a small, themed course. The objective is the same - get the ball into the hole with as few strokes as possible, but the course typically includes obstacles and shorter distances.

Mini golf is generally very family-friendly. Many courses welcome kids and provide smaller putters or lighter balls. Some venues may have age recommendations or specific rules for certain areas, so it’s worth checking before you go if you’re bringing very young children.

The main equipment needed for mini golf are a putter and a golf ball, both of which are usually provided at the mini golf establishment. Some players prefer to bring their own putters, but this is not necessary. There is no specific attire or footwear required for the game, though comfort and mobility are recommended.

Most rounds of mini golf take about 45–60 minutes. The exact timing depends on group size, how busy the course is, and the number of holes. Bigger groups and more complex layouts can stretch the game a little longer, especially during peak times.

Players take turns using a putter to hit the ball toward the hole, trying to finish each one in as few strokes as possible. Obstacles like ramps, curves, tunnels, and moving elements make the route trickier and more fun. After all holes are complete, everyone adds up their strokes and the lowest total score wins.
