18-Hole Mini Golf Course Construction at City Golf Club in Toowoomba, QLD
Mini Golf Creations designed and built this 18-hole mini golf course for City Golf Club in Toowoomba, QLD — the total site size was 1,500m² with 600m² of grass coverage, completed in January 2017 for approximately $750,000. This is the only mini golf course of its kind in Toowoomba, and with its special themed holes, there’s no other mini golf course quite like it in the world.
The course achieved 46,000 rounds in its first year alone (averaging $11 per round), with 43,000 rounds in year two and 40,000 in year three — consistently achieving 40,000+ rounds annually ever since.

Customised Features
Mini Golf Creations added three custom-themed holes to give City Golf Club’s course a unique flavour:

As with all Mini Golf Creations designs, the course focuses on real golf gameplay rather than the old putt putt style.
Construction

Mini Golf Creations tailored its proven construction method to Toowoomba’s specific site conditions:
- Space was limited, so we created a course that was very efficient in layout and size.
- The block was sloping downward, so the course was also built to slope with the existing lay of the land.
- It incorporated plenty of undulation and contours to reduce earthworks as much as possible.
Opening Day
This 18-hole mini golf course at City Golf Club Toowoomba had its grand opening on Australia Day, 2017, with plenty of families, couples, young people and avid golfers trying it out for the first time. The course proved very popular among locals, with The Chronicle reporting that ‘Residents can’t get enough of new mini golf course‘.
Featured on WIN News
When WIN News visited City Golf Club’s new mini golf course, players were quick to note the challenge — even experienced golfers found the sloped course and its novelty holes more demanding than a regular green. Even with the design working with the slope, the terrain meant a lot of earth moving during construction, and around 60 tonnes of rock were used to shape the course.
Open seven days a week, the course has drawn a wide mix of visitors — families with young kids, couples looking for a date-night activity, and locals dropping in during the evenings for some fun and friendly competition.
The project also solved a longstanding local issue: the site had previously been an underused flood mitigation detention basin. Neighbours and nearby businesses have praised the transformation, with the once-overlooked space now a well-maintained community facility.
