Last updated February 2026

Advantage Sports & Leisure offers a classic family-friendly mini golf experience in Cairns City. Located on Draper Street, the 18-hole course provides a fun and accessible outdoor activity for a couple of hours. Players navigate through landscaped tropical gardens, putting around obstacles, over small bridges, and alongside water features. The course is designed to be challenging enough for adults while remaining enjoyable for younger children. It serves as a great option for a relaxed afternoon away from the main reef and rainforest tours. **What to Bring** Sunscreen and hats are essential. Bring water bottles to stay hydrated. Comfortable shoes are recommended for walking the course. **Best Age Range** Best for children aged 4 and up. Kids from 5 to 12 will particularly enjoy the challenge, as they have the coordination to play properly while still being captivated by the course's features. Younger toddlers may find the putters a bit tricky to handle. **Good to Know** On-site car parking is available. Bookings are not usually necessary for small family groups. A kiosk sells cold drinks and snacks. The course is often open in the evenings for night golf under lights. **Nearby** Combine your visit with a trip to the nearby Cairns Esplanade Lagoon for a free swim. Muddy's Playground, one of the best playgrounds in the region, is also just a short drive away on the Esplanade. **Tips From Other Parents** Plan your game for early morning or late afternoon to avoid the intense midday heat, as there is limited shade. Remember to apply insect repellent, especially if you're playing towards dusk.
