Shortees Golf

Last updated February 2026

Shortees Golf, located within the Pittwater Golf Centre in Terrey Hills, offers a unique mini-golf experience designed specifically for children. Unlike traditional putt-putt courses with novelty obstacles, Shortees is a scaled-down, 18-hole version of a real golf course, complete with fairways, bunkers, and manicured greens. This makes it an excellent introduction to the fundamentals of golf in a fun, pressure-free environment. Nestled amongst the leafy surroundings of Sydney's Northern Beaches hinterland, it provides a scenic and engaging outdoor activity for the family. The course is challenging enough to keep kids entertained without being overwhelming for younger players. **What to Bring** Sunscreen and hats. Enclosed, comfortable shoes for walking. Water bottles. **Best Age Range** Best suited for children aged 4 to 10. The child-sized clubs and shorter holes are perfect for this age group, allowing them to experience success and learn the basics of golf. Older teens might prefer the adjacent driving range or a more challenging mini-golf course. **Good to Know** Free on-site parking is available at the Pittwater Golf Centre. Bookings are highly recommended, especially on weekends and during school holidays. The venue has an on-site café for snacks, meals, and drinks. The course has some uneven terrain and may not be suitable for all prams. **Nearby** Combine your visit with a trip to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park for a bushwalk or picnic at Bobbin Head. Alternatively, drive 15 minutes east to explore the kid-friendly North Narrabeen rockpool and playground. **Tips From Other Parents** The course offers limited shade, so aim for a morning or late afternoon session on hot, sunny days. The on-site café is a great spot to grab a milkshake for the kids after the game. It can get very busy on weekend mornings, so book ahead or go on a weekday if possible.
