Vines Mini Golf at The Vines Resort in the Swan Valley is an 18‑hole mini golf course that feels like a proper day out rather than just a quick putt. Beautifully landscaped with wine barrels, old tractors and timber throughout, it has a distinct Swan Valley character, and several of the holes are modelled on the resort’s full‑size championship course.
You’ll check in at Greenside Café to pay and collect your putters, colourful golf balls and scorecard. Everyone tees off from the same spot on each hole, but there are two flag options – red and blue – so you can choose a different line or level of challenge and get a slightly new experience each time you play. This is great if you’re coming back with the kids or want to mix it up for a rematch. The course is designed for adults and children to enjoy together, making it ideal for mixed‑age families or a group of friends.
Each of the 18 holes offers its own quirks and obstacles. Expect sand traps, undulating greens, bridges, tunnels, rocky outcrops and plenty of slopes that keep even confident golfers on their toes.
Streams and water features wind through the course, adding both atmosphere and an extra challenge – younger kids will need watching around the water, and there are koi to spot as you go.
One standout hole sends balls down twin tunnels to a lower level, which is especially popular with children. The whole set‑up feels substantial, with over 1,100 m² of synthetic turf, tonnes of rock work, and clever landscaping that makes the course feel like a compact adventure.
Vines Mini Golf suits all levels, from total beginners to keen golfers. There’s no stuffy dress code – just make sure everyone has enclosed footwear and leave the high heels at home.
Average playtime is about an hour for a family, so it’s worth planning around naps and snacks. The course is fully floodlit and open from early morning, so you can choose a cooler early start or a fun night‑time round, which is especially appealing in summer. Bookings aren’t needed for casual visits or small groups (under 10 people); groups and parties can contact the venue to arrange a booking or package via email.
Families will appreciate the extras around the course. There are a few benches dotted around where you can rest between holes, and right next door you’ll find a sand‑based Playground so younger kids can burn off energy before or after your game.
For food and drinks, Greenside Café is closest, and you can also head to The Vines Café & Bar in the main resort area. Vending machines, a kiosk for refreshments and nearby toilets make the outing easy with children in tow. With on‑site cafes, resort facilities, and plenty of free parking, it’s simple to make a mini golf session part of a longer day in the Swan Valley.
Vines Mini Golf also works well for birthday parties, team‑building days and other group events. The course can be booked out for private groups at certain times, which will be listed on the mini golf website, so it’s worth checking online before you head out if you’re planning a specific time. With flexible start times, easy access, and a fun “winner’s podium” at the end for bragging rights, it’s an experience that keeps both kids and grown‑ups engaged from the first tee to the final putt.
