INSIDE: Roam the Gnome’s Guide to the best Canberra Mini Golf course at Weston Park Yarralumla.
THIS Canberra Mini Golf course is Putt Putt Mini Golf with a difference.
Imagine this:
- Putting your ball around sailboats sweeping around a to-scale version of Lake Burley Griffen
- Guiding your ball back and forth between a random assembly of bicycle wheels poking up from the earth
- Scooting your ball up the hill towards a miniature version of Telstra Tower
- Or shooting your ball down the straight towards the flags atop Parliamentary House at Parliamentary Triangle, and then down Anzac Parade towards the War Memorial
You can do all this, and MORE, at Weston Park Mini Golf. (Also called Yarralumla Mini Golf, or Weston Park Golf.)
Take a look inside below.

Weston Park Mini Golf Canberra has two courses
Lake Walter Miniature Golf at the Yarralumla Play Station rates as one of the best mini golf courses we’ve ever seen, and is well known as the best mini golf Canberra has for kids and families.
We love that the Lake Walter Links course feature light-hearted versions of iconic Canberra sights – that alone makes this mini golf in Canberra worth a visit.
It’s fun to putt your ball around small-scale replicas of all the tourist attractions you’ve been visiting.
Most kids find this to be a hoot!
