Your child’s birthday is coming up and you need something to entertain a dozen 10-year-olds. Or your boss has put you on the party planning committee at your workplace, and you need ideas to avoid last year’s failure. Coming up with the best party ideas to cater for all ages can be a nightmare.

You want something new, something refreshing. Something that your guests will be talking about well after the festivities end.

Enter the world of mini golf parties. At Mini Golf Creations we strive to make Mini Golf courses that are great for parties and so do most mini golf course creators. So there is bound to be a great mini golf course near you.

Mini golf parties are for everyone

Mini golf is suitable for all ages and is a perfect location for birthday parties, team building or corporate events. Often the venue will host food and beverages and may even have party packages to take the stress out of the day.

Mini golf, compared to other sports, requires little in the way of equipment or previous skill or knowledge on how to play. A putter and a ball are you need to get started…plus some smiles to have lots of fun!

Mini golf promotes health and wellbeing

Did you also know playing mini golf can burn off 300 calories an hour? That is comparable to an hour’s brisk walk.

Like a great movie or a good book, playing a round of mini golf can transport you to another world. Playing mini golf allows your party guests to relax and have some fun whilst socialising.

The best parties

As you can tell, there are plenty of parties and events that we could possibly attend. And some of the best party ideas ever were the ones where the host took into consideration two things: their guests and the type of atmosphere they wanted to create.

Parents can compete for the lowest score along with the birthday boy or girl. Companies can enhance their next picnic, retreat, or Christmas party with an epic mini-golf showdown.

No matter the type of event, mini golf can turn a good party into a great one.

How to Throw a Great Mini Golf Party

Step 1: Choose a Mini Golf Venue

Select a mini golf course that is convenient for your guests and has good reviews. Many mini golf venues offer party packages that include food, drinks, and additional entertainment options.

Step 2: Send Out Invitations

Create fun and colourful invitations that reflect the mini golf theme. Send them out well in advance to ensure your guests can save the date.

Step 3: Plan the Party Schedule

Decide on the timing for the party, including when to start, how long to play mini golf, and when to have food and cake. Ensure there’s a balance between activities and relaxation.

Step 4: Arrange for Food and Drinks

Coordinate with the venue if they offer catering services. If not, plan to bring your own snacks, beverages, and birthday cake. Consider mini golf-themed cupcakes or a cake shaped like a putting green.

Step 5: Decorate the Venue

Add some festive decorations to the party area. Use balloons, banners, and tablecloths in bright, fun colours. Mini golf-themed decor, such as golf balls and flags, can add to the atmosphere.

Step 6: Prepare Party Favors

Put together goodie bags with mini golf-themed items such as golf balls, tees, and small trophies. This adds a special touch and gives guests a souvenir to remember the party by.

Step 7: Organise a Mini Golf Tournament

Set up a friendly competition with small prizes for different categories like “Best Score,” “Most Creative Putter,” or “Funniest Moment”. This adds excitement and encourages everyone to participate.

Step 8: Capture the Memories

Hire a photographer or designate someone to take photos throughout the event. You can also set up a photo booth with mini golf props for guests to use.

Step 9: Ensure Safety and Comfort

Make sure there are plenty of shaded areas or indoor spaces if the weather is hot. Provide water and encourage guests to stay hydrated.

Step 10: Thank Your Guests

At the end of the party, thank everyone for coming and hand out the party favours. A follow-up thank you note or email with photos from the party is a nice touch to show your appreciation.
