Last updated February 2026

Iron Pot Golf Course offers a relaxed and scenic mini golf experience on the picturesque South Arm Peninsula. Located about a 40-minute drive from Hobart, this 9-hole putt-putt course provides stunning views across the Derwent River towards the historic Iron Pot Lighthouse and kunanyi / Mount Wellington. The course itself is simple and unpretentious, making it an accessible and enjoyable outing for the whole family. It's less about flashy obstacles and more about enjoying a classic game in a beautiful, natural Tasmanian setting. The welcoming, local club atmosphere adds to its laid-back charm. **What to Bring** Sunscreen and hats. A warm or windproof jacket, as the coastal location is very exposed. Comfortable shoes. Water and snacks. **Best Age Range** Best for children aged 5 to 12. The course is straightforward enough for younger players to enjoy without frustration, while older kids and adults can appreciate the challenge and the spectacular scenery. **Good to Know** Free on-site parking is readily available. Bookings are not usually necessary for mini golf. The clubhouse has a small café serving drinks and light snacks. It's a good idea to bring cash for payment. **Nearby** Combine your game with a visit to nearby Opossum Bay Beach, a sheltered spot perfect for a swim or sandcastle building. South Arm Beach is also just a short drive away for a walk along the coast. **Tips From Other Parents** "Don't underestimate the wind off the water; pack an extra layer for everyone, even on a sunny day." "It's a great, low-key alternative to busier city attractions, perfect for a relaxed afternoon." "Make a day of it and pack a picnic to have at one of the nearby beaches after your game."
