Booking Patrick Putts: What to Expect When Hiring Mini Golf for Your Event
If you’re planning a wedding, party or corporate function and looking for something interactive, mini golf hire is one of the most popular entertainment options across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
But before you book, you might be wondering:
How much space does a mini golf course need?
Can it be set up indoors?
How long does setup take?
Will it work at my venue?
Here’s some things you need to know when booking Patrick Putts mini golf hire for your event.
How Much Space Does Mini Golf Need?
One of the biggest advantages of portable putt putt hire is flexibility. Our courses are designed to fit a wide range of spaces, from small indoor function rooms to large outdoor lawns.
Hole sizes
Premium mini golf holes: approximately 3.6m long and 1.2m to 2.4m wide
Standard mini golf holes: between 1.2m and 2.4m long and 0.6m to 1.2m wide
Because each hole is separate, we can:
Spread them out across a large space, or
Arrange them around tables, dance floors or furniture
If you’re unsure, we’re happy to review your venue and recommend the best setup for your event.
How Long Does Mini Golf Setup Take?
Setup time for mini golf hire depends mainly on access to the setup area.
If parking is directly next to the setup location, setup is usually very quick.
If there’s distance between parking and the event space, or access involves stairs, lifts or long corridors, setup may take longer.
We factor this into our arrival time so the course is ready before guests begin arriving.

Yes. Our portable mini golf courses are designed for both indoor and outdoor events.
