About

Billed as the most unique miniature golf course in Australia, GlowGolf at the Docklands allows visitors to play an 18-hole game under black lights. Because the course is indoors in a climate-controlled environment, this is a popular family destination year-round.

Giant murals and props are painted in special colors so that the black lights highlight otherwise unseen details.

Spinners mounted on wooden posts at the course ask you to perform silly actions depending on where the marker lands when you take your turn. Some spinners, for example, will be asked to putt with the handle of the club.

After a round of mini golf, Docklands has plenty to hold your attention. More than 30 restaurants and two pubs, as well as a kids park and ice house, are all nearby.
