Sanctuary Cove

Last updated February 2026

Located within the picturesque Sanctuary Cove resort precinct on Hope Island, this family-friendly mini golf course offers a fun outdoor activity set against a polished backdrop. The course winds its way through landscaped gardens and gentle water features, providing a relaxing yet engaging experience for visitors. With holes designed to be both fun for beginners and tricky enough for seasoned putters, it's a great option for a multi-generational family outing. Its position near the Sanctuary Cove Marine Village makes it easy to combine with a meal or a walk along the marina. This beautifully maintained course provides a pleasant way to spend an hour or two in the Gold Coast sunshine. **What to Bring** Sunscreen and a hat. Comfortable walking shoes. Water bottles to stay hydrated. **Best Age Range** Best for ages 4 and up. Younger children may find holding the putter and aiming a bit tricky, but will enjoy the space. The course offers enough of a challenge to keep teens and adults engaged. **Good to Know** Ample free parking is available nearby at the Marine Village. Bookings are not usually required for small groups. Numerous cafes, restaurants, and gelaterias are just a short walk away. The course has some narrow paths and small steps that may be challenging for prams. **Nearby** Combine your visit with a stroll through the Sanctuary Cove Marine Village to look at the luxury yachts. A short drive away is Paradise Point Parklands, which has a large playground and a calm, netted swimming area. **Tips From Other Parents** Go in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday sun, as there is limited shade on the course. Promise the kids an ice cream from a nearby cafe for after the game. The final hole is always a favourite with the kids.
