Family Fun at Phuket's Adventure Mini Golf
If you're heading to the magical island of Phuket for a holiday you're most likely looking for some fun and relaxing outings.
The Adventure Mini Golf in Bang Tao, Phuket Island is a great choice and it's ideal for families, couples, or a group of friends.
Planning a Visit to the Mini Golf in Phuket?
The 18-hole 'adventure mini golf' set-up is a course with some special features that include:
- artificial grass
- putters
- water features
- bunkers,
So, not only is it more fun than a typical mini golf, it's also suitable for all ages and all levels.
No matter whether you play regular golf in Thailand, or if you're one of those folks who've never held a putter, you can surround yourself in palm trees at this tropical golfing landscape.
The 'off course' open-air restaurant and bar facility is a place to relax, eat traditional Thai food, have a refreshing drink, and enjoy the view of the course.
Adventure Mini Golf Location
Address: 72/44 Moo 3, Bang Tao Beach Road, Soi 2, Cherngtalay (Talang), Phuket 83110, Thailand.
The site is located on Bang Tao Beach, in the north-west of Phuket island. This is a popular area with lots of resorts and sandy beaches.
Getting there is straightforward if you choose to take a "Grab" or a "tuk-tuk" from one of the nearby resorts dotted along the main road. If you're a beachgoer, you have the option of walking from the southern end of Bang Tao Beach.
It's even easier if you have a scooter or a car. Take highway 4025 toward Surin Beach, and then once you pass Lotus's Bang Tao, turn right at the traffic lights then travel down Soi 2.

What to Expect
The course is 18 holes with a mix of challenge and fun. There are water hazards, bunkers, granite rocks, and lush landscaping.
Equipment includes a putter (adult, junior, and child sizes are available) and golf balls. If you have your own 'lucky' putter, you are welcome to bring it along.
A normal round of mini golf usually takes around an hour to ninety minutes. But, you can play as much as you like if you paid for a day pass.
The "off course" restaurant and bar serves Thai and western dishes, pizzas from a wood-fired oven, burgers, and there's even a kids' menu too. It's a nice place to unwind after (or during) your game.
Pro Golfing Tips
- The best time to go is late afternoon or early evening if you prefer cooler temperatures and good lighting for photographs.
- Team size is generally better when there are no more than four (4) players per team (e.g., for smooth flowing play).
- Casual shoes and clothing are fine because you will be walking on artificial turf in an outdoor setting. But, remember to take some sun protection if you go earlier in the day.
- It's better to book in advance if yours will be a large group. Taylor-made packages are also available for birthday celebrations, corporate team building activities, or other special events.
- Consider combining it with some nearby beach time. Since Phuket's Adventure Mini Golf is located at Bang Tao Beach, you could enjoy some beach time with mini golf and dinner in one fun family outing.
- Allow some extra travel time if you will be coming from a distance (such as Patong Beach).
In Summary
Phuket Adventure Mini Golf course is great for families with children, friends looking for some innocent fun, and a low-stress activity away from the more intense Phuket nightlife.
It's also a fun place for couples who want to enjoy something lighthearted and different from typical beach and spa resort activities.
Playing a round of miniature golf is a nicely-balanced experience. You'll get some fresh air, friendly competition, as well as a relaxing atmosphere away from some of the crowded tourist attractions in Phuket.
