Enjoy an Indoor Mini Golf Adventure with the Whole Family
Let’s talk about the Easter long weekend in Melbourne. You’ve got four blissful days off work or uni. The autumn leaves are doing their thing, the air has that crisp little bite to it, and you’ve likely consumed enough chocolate by Sunday morning to power a small suburb.
But what happens after the morning egg hunt is over?
Cabin fever, that’s what. By Saturday afternoon, the sugar high has morphed into a sugar crash, your siblings are starting to get on your nerves, and the group chat is going around in circles trying to figure out what to do. You can only watch so many movies on the couch before you need to get out of the house. Plus, it’s Melbourne. The weather is probably playing its favourite game of “four seasons in one hour” meaning any outdoor picnic plans are a massive gamble.
If you are looking for a way to break the boredom, burn off those hot cross buns, and actually have a laugh with your crew, we have the answer. Enter: crazy-golf.
At What The Putt in Brunswick, we are serving up the ultimate Indoor mini golf experience. Whether you’re dragging the whole family out for some daytime fun, or you’re rounding up your chosen family (your mates) for a long-weekend bender, this is where the magic happens.
Why Mini golf is the Ultimate Long Weekend Escape
We’ve all been there. You try to organise a family outing, and it’s a logistical nightmare. The younger ones want to do something active, the teenagers just want to look cool for Instagram, and the parents (or the “responsible adults” of your friend group) just want to sit down with a decent drink.
Finding a middle ground feels impossible.
This is exactly why Mini golf is the undefeated champion of group activities. It genuinely levels the playing field. You don’t need to be an athlete to be good at it. In fact, some of the best moments on our courses happen when the most competitive person in the group absolutely shanks a straightforward putt, while the person who has never held a club in their life accidentally scores a hole-in-one through a loop-the-loop.
Our courses are designed to be equal parts challenging, ridiculous, and visually epic. We’re talking neon lights, pop-culture references, and tricky obstacles that will test your patience and your friendships.
It’s the perfect way to spend a few hours escaping the reality of the impending work week. You’re laughing, you’re moving around, and you’re completely unplugged from whatever is happening on your phone.
The Perks of a Dedicated Mini Golf Bar
Now, let’s get to the real reason What The Putt isn’t your average family entertainment centre.
Sure, during the day, it’s a fantastic spot to let the kids (and the big kids) run wild on the greens. But we are, at our core, a fully decked-out mini golf bar.
This is an absolute game-changer for the adults. Why should you have to suffer through lukewarm tap water and terrible coffee while supervising a family outing? You shouldn’t.
While the younger crew are battling it out on the course, you can grab a locally brewed craft beer, a glass of wine, or a freshly shaken cocktail. Our bar staff are legends who know exactly how to keep the good vibes flowing. If you’re coming in with a group of mates or your partner for an Easter date night, the bar becomes the central hub of your evening.
You can literally carry your drinks around the course with you. Picture this: you’re lining up a crucial bank shot to beat your best mate, the music is pumping, and you’ve got an ice-cold drink waiting in the holder at the next hole. It merges the energy of a classic Melbourne night out with the nostalgic fun of a childhood game.
Beyond the Green: Keep the Competition Going
Once the scorecards are tallied and the loser has been thoroughly shamed, the fun doesn’t have to stop. One of the best things about spending your long weekend with us is that you don’t have to constantly move venues to keep everyone entertained.
Once you step off the green, you can head straight into our arcade area.
- Settle the Score: Did someone cheat on hole 14? Settle the dispute like adults: with a vicious game of Air Hockey.
- Shoot Some Hoops: Burn off that leftover Easter chocolate by seeing who can rack up the highest score on the arcade basketball machines.
- Hit the Tables: Grab another round from the bar and claim a pool table. It’s the perfect, low-key way to wind down the afternoon while still enjoying the buzzing atmosphere of the venue.
We also have a killer food menu to keep the hunger at bay. Because let’s be honest, you cannot survive a four-day weekend on chocolate eggs alone. You need proper fuel. We’ve got the kind of delicious, easy-to-eat party food that perfectly complements a cold drink and a round of golf.
From Easter Fun to Your Next Birthday, Work or Christmas
Party
Okay, we know what you are thinking. “It’s only autumn! Why are you bringing up the end of the year?” Bear with us. Melburnians know that the year absolutely flies by. One minute you’re eating Easter eggs, and the next, you’re scrambling to find a venue for the annual office breakup party because everywhere decent in the inner-north is completely booked out.
If you are the designated organiser for your friend group, your university society, or your workplace, consider this your friendly public service announcement. Securing a killer venue for your Christmas party is a competitive sport in this city.
Why not use this Easter long weekend as a scouting mission? Come down, play a round, test the cocktails, and check out the vibe. We cater to massive groups (up to 900+ people!), meaning we can handle everything from a small team bonding session to a massive corporate takeover.
The Ultimate Organised Move: Gift Cards Party
Speaking of being ridiculously organised… we need to talk about birthday presents.
We all have that one person in our lives who is impossible to buy for. They buy whatever they want, whenever they want it, making gifting a total nightmare.
Instead of panic-buying a candle or another pair of random socks, why not get ahead of the game right now? Purchasing a What The Putt Gift Card is the ultimate power move. They make fantastic last-minute birthday presents or just a sneaky treat for your partner to guarantee a fun date night next month.
A gift card is the gift of an experience. It’s an excuse for them to get out of the house, grab some drinks, and have a genuinely fun night out. You can buy it online instantly and stash it away in your inbox. Future you will be so relieved.
Lock In Your Long Weekend
The Easter long weekend is all about spending time with the people you actually like, eating good food, and letting your hair down. Don’t waste it endlessly scrolling through streaming services or complaining about the autumn rain.
Gather the family, round up your mates, or grab your partner, and head down to Brunswick. We’ve got the drinks chilled, the courses primed, and the arcade games flashing.
Come for the crazy-golf, stay for the drinks, and leave with a healthy dose of sibling rivalry and a whole lot of great memories.
