Find a regular golf course a bit daunting? Golfing can be a lot more fun for all when you downsize.
We've done the rounds, literally, to seek out some of the best mini golf course around Perth and across WA.
Here are 10 that our team thinks are above par when it comes to course design and features, on-site amenities and offering an all-round ace experience.
Perth mini golf courses
Matagarup Mini Golf, Burswood
Perth’s newest and biggest mini golf course opened in February this year. The 18-hole course is dotted with replicas of WA icons, including a mini Pinnacles, a mini Horizontal Falls and even a mini replica of Matagarup Bridge that you’ll need to get your ball across. Matagarup Mini Golf is on Camfield Drive in Burswood.
Amaze Miniature Park, Mandurah
Everything is a little bit ‘mini’ at Amaze Miniature Park. In addition to more than 70 replica miniature buildings and scale model trains, there’s a 12-hole mini golf course which you can play as part of your admission to the park. Bring a picnic lunch and make a day of it.
Wembley Mini Golf
If you want your mini golf experience to literally be a shrunk-down version of the main game, Wembley Mini Golf is the place to be. Located at the Wembley Golf Course, the18-hole course is a small-scale version of a regular course, including sand traps and water features. After the game, head to 300 Acres Restaurant and Bar for lunch or dinner.
Wanneroo Botanic Gardens
Set on the shores of Lake Joondalup, Wanneroo Botanic Gardens and its mini golf course were opened in 1981 after seven years of hard work and thousands of tree plantings by Dutch landscape architect Theo Puik and his wife Hanneke. Today, you can enjoy the picturesque gardens as you make your way around one of Australia’s largest outdoor mini golf courses.
Goanna Golf, Bicton
Not far from the Swan River and set amongst a canopy of trees at Point Walter Golf Course, Goanna Golf describes itself as one of the ‘most challenging in Australia’ so be prepared. After you’ve navigated the tricky obstacles on this 18-hole course, stay on and relax in the Grass Lands Bar & Café.
Collier Park Mini Golf
As with the Wembley course, Collier Park Mini Golf is based on the design of a full 18-hole course. Part of the Collier Park community hub in Como, the course caters to all abilities, with the option to play three flags per hole and the first nine holes accessible to wheelchairs and prams.
Masonmill Mini Golf, Perth Hills
In addition to a restaurant, bar and function centre, the expansive gardens at the multi-venue Masonmill complex at Carmel are also home to an 18-hole mini golf course. Enjoy refreshments from the licensed kiosk as you make your way around. The course is also lit up at night, so you can stay and play as the sun goes down.

Par 3, Busselton
The 18-hole mini golf course at Par 3 in Busselton is a favourite with local mini golf enthusiasts. The course features two difficulty levels: ‘Challenging’ and ‘Outrageous’. Its lush, landscaped fairways make it one of WA’s most impressive mini golf courses. There’s also a café and bar for pre- or post-game refreshments.
Yallingup Maze Mini Golf
This award-winning mini golf course at the Yallingup Maze is centred around a large water feature with six waterfalls.
