Victoria Park Is Bringing Back Its Christmas-Themed Mini Golf Course to Fill You Full of Festive Cheer

Spending time with your loved ones, exchanging gifts with your nearest and dearest, enjoying hearty feasts and the boozy sips that go with them, decking the halls with boughs of holly, singing jolly carols: they're all tried-and-tested ways to celebrate the festive season. But sometimes, you just want to get tap, tap, tapping around a mini golf course, competing against your date, mates and/or family for putt-putt supremacy — and you want it to be Christmas-themed, too.

Across the merriest part of 2022, the above situation is about to become a reality at Victoria Park's mini golf course. As it has done in previous years, the venue is giving its greens a temporary seasonal makeover, pairing swinging a club at a ball with plenty of festive cheer, decorations and sculptures.

Head along from Friday, November 11–Tuesday, January 3, where you'll find bells, bows and twinkling lights. In past years, the course has also sported holly, giant candy canes, gingerbread houses, elves, toy soldiers and everything else festive that it can think of.

Reindeers and Santa are usually involved, too, and different sections of the 18-hole site will be designed around ideas like Chrissy Down Under, Santa's mailroom and Christmas morning — plus there'll be a festive feast fairway, The North Pole and a 'deck the halls' hole.

Find out whether you're naughty or nice at Christmas Putt Putt from 6am–10pm Sunday–Thursday and 6am–11pm Friday–Saturday — which means that you can stop by on your way to work, during your lunch break or after quittin' time as well. If you drop by post-6pm, you'll take to the green beneath Christmas lights, naturally.

Victoria Park's Christmas putt putt follows hot on the heels of its Halloween shenanigans, which only wrapped up on that spooky date.

Christmas Putt Putt takes over the Victoria Park Putt Putt Course at 309 Herston Road, Herston from Friday, November 11–Tuesday, January 3, open 6am–10pm Sunday–Thursday and 6am–11pm Friday–Saturday — with tickets costing $23 for adults. For more information, head to the venue's website.
