Mini Golf Patong

With white sandy beaches, breathtaking scenery, hundreds of diverse restaurants and massage parlours on every street corner it’s easy to see why Phuket is quickly becoming the worlds number one tourists destination. While most are happy to lounge on the beach while on holiday, for those of you who are looking for a little more excitement than mojitos and massages, Phuket is also ripe with an amazing array of tourist spots and attractions such as Mini Golf Patong. Although most don’t see mini golf as exciting, once you see just where this unique golf course is, we think you’ll change your minds about that!

Located on top of the Banana Walk building, yes you read that correctly, it is perched on the ROOF of one of the tallest buildings along the beach road in Patong, sits this truly unique mini golf course. Different to the usual windmill and clown mouth gimmicks you see at traditional mini golf courses, Mini Golf Patong is quite literally a miniature golf course. The course features 18 challenging holes, water hazards, sand filled bunkers, real putters and even caddies to chase after those wayward balls. They even offer the illusive “19th hole” also known as the Trillion Beach Lounge and serves customers a wide selection of beverages, snacks and traditional Thai food.

Mini Golf Patong is Asia’s first roof top mini golf course and offers customers stunning 360 degree views out over the glistening turquoise of the Andaman as well as the bustling streets of Phuket’s busiest city, Patong. The carefully designed course was constructed to mimic the true essence of a full golf course. Using concrete tracks covered with synthetic grass, they were able to ensure the ball behaves the same as it would on a real putting green. A round takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and costs 500 baht per person while child play for 350 baht. Players can choose to have a game during the day or try their hand at night. The next time your friends or family members complain they are bored, why not take a trip to Patong and challenge them to a game of roof top mini golf they won’t soon forget.
