Who doesn’t love a game of mini putt?
Whether you’re:
- Spending time with family
- Catching up with friends
- Looking for something casual and fun
- Planning a group outing
- Or entertaining the kids
mini golf is one of those activities almost everyone can enjoy.
At Golf 360, our 18-hole outdoor mini putt course has become a popular activity for both locals and visitors looking for something fun to do in Mount Maunganui and Tauranga.
An 18-Hole Outdoor Mini Putt Course
Golf 360 features a full 18-hole mini golf course with a unique sporting theme throughout.
The course was designed by iconic Mount Maunganui artist Dick Frizzell, helping create a fun and distinctive atmosphere that feels a little different from your typical mini putt setup.
Every hole has its own personality, making the course enjoyable whether it’s your first visit or your tenth.
Designed for Fun, Strategy, and Creativity
One thing that makes our course slightly different is that it’s designed more like a miniature golf course rather than a heavily enclosed obstacle course.
The holes don’t have large side rails forcing the ball back into play.
That means players often need to:
- Think about angles
- Use strategy
- Control speed
- Navigate slopes and positioning
It creates a more natural and enjoyable style of mini golf that suits both casual players and competitive family members who suddenly take things very seriously.
Great for All Ages

- Casual visitors
It’s one of those activities where everybody can join in together.
