Goanna Golf Dingley

Last updated February 2026

Goanna Golf offers a quintessential mini-golf experience with a distinctly Australian twist, located in Dingley Village in Melbourne's south-east. This 18-hole outdoor course is part of the larger Dingley Village Adventure Golf complex, providing a fun challenge for the whole family. The course winds its way through native-style landscaping, complete with creeks, waterfalls, and large sculptures of Australian animals like goannas and kangaroos. It's a well-maintained and engaging layout that combines the fun of mini-golf with a touch of local character. The mix of simple and more challenging holes ensures that both beginners and seasoned putters will find it enjoyable. **What to Bring** Sunscreen and hats are essential as the course has limited shade. Comfortable walking shoes. Water bottles to stay hydrated. **Best Age Range** Best for ages 4 and up. While toddlers can have a go, children from four years old generally have the coordination and patience to enjoy playing the holes properly. Primary school-aged kids and teens particularly enjoy the competitive aspect and themed environment. **Good to Know** Free on-site parking is plentiful. Bookings are not usually required for small groups but are recommended during school holidays. There is an on-site café for drinks, ice creams, and light snacks. The paths can be narrow in sections, which may be challenging for some prams or wheelchairs. **Nearby** Explore the aircraft at the Australian National Aviation Museum, just a few minutes' drive away at Moorabbin Airport. For a change of pace, the extensive wetlands and walking trails of Braeside Park are also very close by. **Tips From Other Parents** "Aim to go in the morning on weekends as it gets quite busy by lunchtime, with queues forming at the more popular holes." "The giant goanna sculpture is a great photo opportunity, but keep little ones from climbing on it." "There are a few water hazards, so be prepared to fish out a runaway ball or two for younger players."
