Swing all day at the 5 best mini-golf courses in Johannesburg!
Mini golf is a fun and accessible way to enjoy the game of golf. Plus, it doesn’t take hours to complete a round!
The challenge in Johannesburg is that there aren’t too many places to play. The good news is I’ve tried all the ones that are worth visiting!
If you’re looking for a relaxed way to enjoy golf, mini golf is the perfect option. I’ve put together a list of the best mini-golf courses in Joburg where you can enjoy the game on a smaller, more fun scale!

The outdoor courses are surrounded by lush greenery, giving it a relaxing vibe. The indoor LED courses are themed and have plenty of creative touches. Both offer challenging obstacles to test your golfing skills like precision and control.
I personally enjoyed the indoor courses. Each hole had bright, colourful murals, and the twists and turns kept me on my toes. It was tricky but very entertaining!

Take on a 9-hole mini adventure at Putt Putt @ Randpark, inside the Randpark Golf Club. You don’t need to be a member to enjoy this mini golf course.
Each hole has its own challenges. Expect humps, sand, water, and mini islands that will test your focus and skill. It’s a fun way to compete with family or friends, but some of the holes can be tricky.
I once brought my wife and kids here, and the ninth hole had me stuck. I had to steer my ball around the mini island to reach the cup. It took me 16 shots!
Tip: Play around 5 p.m. to dodge the heat. |

Adventure Golf in Randburg is another fantastic spot for mini golf. Don’t confuse it with the one in Hillfox. It’s a completely different experience!
This venue has three unique 9-hole courses that take you over log bridges, through caves, across ravines, and past other fun obstacles. You’ll also enjoy the natural setting, with birds occasionally flying through the trees.
The first time I visited, I was impressed by the challenges and details. Walking through a pergola tunnel to the first tee set the tone, and navigating waterfalls and estuaries kept me scratching my head. Regardless, it was a great way to enjoy mini golf!
