9 & 18 Hole Mini Golf Course Construction at Sporties, Barooga NSW
Mini Golf Creations designed and built this mini golf course for Sporties Club in Barooga, NSW, completed in May 2021 across a 1,850m² site with 1,100m² of grass coverage, for a cost of around $680,000. The course features two interwoven 9-hole circuits — marked with red and blue flags — so players can enjoy a full 18-hole round by playing both, delivering more playing variety from a more compact site footprint.

Located in the heart of the Murray River region, the course was purpose-built as a family-friendly, all-abilities attraction for locals, holidaymakers, and guests of the adjoining resort. Set within beautifully maintained grounds and designed to flow seamlessly with the wider club environment, the course offers a relaxed, accessible mini golf experience that invites repeat play.

Construction
Mini Golf Creations followed its proven mini golf course construction process to deliver this project, tailored to the Sporties site and surrounding club environment.
Club History
Sporties Club’s own story adds extra meaning to the course: what began as a humble tin shed back in 1981 has evolved into the showpiece club it is today — with its new mini golf course now a point of pride for the Murray River region.
Client Outcome
Designed and delivered by Mini Golf Creations, Sporties Mini Golf has quickly become a key attraction within the Sporties precinct, adding value to the club’s existing offering and boosting visitor engagement. The course has strengthened the precinct’s appeal as a destination for family fun, weekenders, and social events.
From Sporties Club
Sporties Club describes the course as “the ultimate family playground” — offering 18 holes of challenging, fun mini golf, with the flexibility to play a quick nine or make a full day of it with breakfast, lunch and dinner options on-site, seven days a week.

What do people ask about the Sporties Club mini golf course?
Who built the mini golf course at Sporties Club in Barooga?
Mini Golf Creations designed and built the mini golf course at Sporties Club in Barooga, NSW, completed in May 2021.
How can a mini golf course offer a full 18-hole round on a small site?
Mini Golf Creations built the Sporties course as a 9-hole layout on a 1,850 m² site, with a red flag and a blue flag on every hole. Players complete a full 18-hole round by playing the blue-flagged course and then the red-flagged one, so the club gets a longer round from a compact footprint.
Can a mini golf course be added to an existing club complex?
Yes. Mini Golf Creations designed the Sporties course to flow with the existing club environment in Barooga, alongside the club’s dining and function facilities, and completed it in May 2021.
