Boulders and Badlands Mini Golf

Last updated February 2026

Boulders and Badlands Mini Golf offers a premier putt-putt experience located within The Club at Parkwood Village on the Gold Coast. The facility features two distinct and challenging 18-hole courses, creatively landscaped with rocky outcrops, water features, and varied terrain. Its central Parkwood location makes it an easily accessible attraction for both locals and tourists. The well-maintained greens and engaging hole designs provide a fun challenge for all skill levels. The courses are also fully lit, allowing for enjoyable games well into the evening. **What to Bring** Sunscreen, hats, and comfortable walking shoes. A water bottle is recommended, especially on hot days. **Best Age Range** Ideal for families with children aged 4 and up. While younger children can participate, the coordination and patience required for 18 holes are better suited to primary school-aged kids, teenagers, and adults who will enjoy the course's challenges. **Good to Know** Ample free parking is available on-site at The Club at Parkwood Village. Bookings are highly recommended for weekends and school holidays. Multiple food and drink options are available at the main clubhouse. **Nearby** The expansive Broadwater Parklands in Southport is a 10-minute drive away, offering huge playgrounds and a calm swimming lagoon. Harbour Town Premium Outlets is also close by for shopping and family-friendly dining. **Tips From Other Parents** The Badlands course is slightly more challenging than the Boulders course, so start with Boulders if you have younger children. Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the midday sun, as shade is limited on the course itself.
