18-Hole Mini Golf Course Construction at KDV Sport, Carrara, Gold Coast

Mini Golf Creations designed and built this 18-hole mini golf course for KDV Sport in Carrara, on the Gold Coast, Queensland. KDV Sport opened in October 2016 and the course has proven very popular since. It features free-flowing water, rock formations and native landscaping, with lighting so games can be played at night.

Three Paths on Every Hole

Mini Golf Creations built the course so that anyone can play it, from a child to an experienced golfer. Each hole offers an easy, medium or difficult path to the cup, each marked with a different colour. This is a modern, real-golf approach to mini golf rather than the outdated putt putt style, and the varying undulations and difficulty across the 18 holes suit mixed groups playing together.

Construction

Mini Golf Creations followed its proven mini golf course construction process to deliver this project for KDV Sport.

We started by clearing the site before shaping the soil and building drainage and lakes. We then installed audio and electrical components. After that, we did a ‘hole peg out’ and labelled features of the course. Our expert construction team sculpted and compacted a crusher dust base to make ridges, bunkers, and contours, adding rocks and timberwork.

We then installed the cups and then lay special synthetic turf that’s perfect for mini golf courses. The finishing touches involved landscaping the site with beautiful greenery and more rocks, bridges, water features and paths. And as you can see in the photos, we’ve also added lights so that mini golf games can be played at night.

To see the course in action or play a round, visit the KDV Sport mini golf page. KDV Sport is at 221 Nerang-Broadbeach Road, Carrara, QLD.

The construction process involved a number of stages. We’ve captured some of those in the photos in the video below so you can see a ‘before and after’ journey of the site.

Mini Golf Championship Course

The course has been designed and built so that anyone can play and enjoy it. From a child, to an adult to an experienced golfer. Each hole has the option to choose an easy, medium or difficult path to a cup, each marked with a different colour. This modern approach to mini golf is much more like real golf than the outdated putt putt courses.

KDV Sports opened its doors on the Gold Coast in October 2016. Since then the mini golf course has proven very popular.
