Looking for a family-friendly activity that gets everyone outside without feeling like you’re heading to a typical novelty putt putt course? Boomerang Hills in Mudgeeraba is home to an 18-hole putt putt course set amongst the beautiful Gold Coast Hinterland.
The course winds through the grounds, surrounded by lush greenery and hinterland scenery, making the setting part of the experience. It’s a lovely change of pace from the busier attractions on the coast, with plenty of fresh air and space to enjoy a round at your own pace.
What makes the course particularly appealing is that it feels more like playing a round of golf in miniature than a traditional novelty-style putt putt course. There are 18 holes to work your way through, each with its own challenges, and enough skill involved to keep adults interested as well as the kids.
It’s the kind of activity where everyone can have a go, whether you’re playing as a family, with friends or as a group. Younger children can enjoy simply getting around the course and practising their putting, while older kids and adults can get a little more serious about their scores.
And then there’s the hole-in-one bell. Once you know it’s there, getting to ring it becomes a very real goal!
The beautiful Hinterland setting is a big part of the appeal. Rather than being tucked inside a shopping centre or surrounded by flashing lights and themed obstacles, the course sits within the Boomerang Hills grounds, with greenery and mountain scenery all around. It makes putt putt feel less like an activity you need to rush through and more like a reason to spend some time outdoors.
There’s also an onsite restaurant serving breakfast and lunch, so it’s easy to turn a round of putt putt into a longer morning or day out. Play a round, grab something to eat and enjoy the surroundings before heading home.
Whether you’re looking for something to do with the kids on the weekend, somewhere to take visiting family or simply a different Gold Coast activity to add to the list, an 18-hole round at Boomerang Hills is a fun way to enjoy a little fresh air, friendly competition and the beauty of the Hinterland.
Boomerang Hills Putt Putt is located in Mudgeeraba, just a short drive from the Gold Coast coast. The 18-hole course is suitable for families and doesn’t require any previous golfing experience — although there’s nothing stopping you from taking your scorecard very seriously!
