Want to play mini-golf in Austin? Here’s a list of all the spots to get your putt putt on!
I am a mini-golf enthusiast. I love the low-stakes fun and attainable challenge of the game. It’s easy to play, which makes it good for groups of all ages. You’ll also find some fun, themed decor. Plus the feeling of getting a hole-in-one is priceless. You’d never see me doing that on an actual golf course! 😀
In the last few years, I made it a goal to try all the putt putt spots in Austin, which is the best kind of research. We have 9 great mini-golf courses, so check out this list and pick one (or all) to try!
Quick Notes
- While outdoor courses tend to be more spacious, they typically are not shaded, so plan accordingly.
- You’ll typically get a paper scorecard at the entrance to keep track.
- The course difficulty rating I used is out of 3: 1 = easy, 2 = slightly challenging, 3 = challenging.
- The Dirdie Birdie and Holey Moley are the busiest courses, so reservations are recommended.
Austin’s / Putt Vegas at REVL (Pflugerville)
I love that Austin’s has multiple course options. With two outdoor courses and one indoor course, you’ll get your fill of putt putt. The outdoor courses are spacious and have variety.
The REVL area is more upscale and adult-oriented, with a bar and big-screen tvs for sports, but it is part of Austin’s complex. This is where you’ll find Putt Vegas. Each hole is on a platform and you’ll keep score on the touchscreen monitors at each hole, the only spot in Austin with a digital scorecard!
- Setting: Outdoor and indoor
- Number of holes: Two 18-hole courses outdoors, One 12-hole course indoors – Putt Vegas
- Par: Not noted but I would guess each hole is 2
- Course difficulty: 2
- Mini-golf cost per person: $8 for outdoor courses, $12 for the indoor course (pricing varies if you get an unlimited attractions wristband)
- Other amenities: Venue also has arcade games, carnival rides, laser tag, bowling, and more
- Food: bar, grill, and weekend buffet
- Parking: Large free parking lot
- Address: 16231 N Interstate Hwy 35, Pflugerville, TX 78660
The Dirdie Birdie
The Dirdie Birdie is a fun, interactive course. Each hole has its gimmick, from putting past a windmill on a replica of the Texas Capitol to a Rube Goldberg hole. The course is a bit challenging but I love the creativity. This spot at the Domain has a bar and restaurant attached.
- Setting: Indoor
- Number of holes: 12
- Par: 31ish
- Course difficulty: 3
- Mini-golf cost per person: $18
- Food: Restaurant and bar attached
- Parking: Free garage
- Address: 10910 Domain Dr, Suite 120, Austin, TX 78758
Duke’s Adventure Golf
When I think of a classic course, Duke’s Adventure Golf is what I envision. A spacious course with water features and just enough difficulty to make you feel accomplished and challenged.
- Setting: Outdoor
- Number of holes: 18
- Par: 36
- Course difficulty: 2
- Mini-golf cost per person: $8 for adults, $5 for kids 5 and under

Holey Moley Golf Club
The new kid on the block, Holey Moley Golf Club comes from Australia and has quickly opened several locations in the U.S. Each hole has a theme, like grandma’s house complete with a wallpapered restroom or the space hole that feels like you’re putting on the moon.
- Setting: Indoor
- Number of holes: Three 9-hole courses
- Par: Each course is 27
- Course difficulty: 3
- Mini-golf cost per person: $14 for one course – $36 for three courses; $10 for those under 21

Main Event
If you’re looking for something easy, Main Event is the choice. This indoor course feels a bit narrow at some holes, but the black lights and glowing features are cool. However, the course feels low budget. Even in the glow, you can tell pieces of the course have fallen apart.
- Setting: Indoor
- Number of holes: 18
- Par: 40
- Course difficulty: 1
- Mini-golf cost per person: $10
- Other amenities: Venue also has arcade games, laser tag, and billiards
- Food: In-house bar and restaurant
- Parking: Free parking lot
- Address: 13301 US-183 Hwy, Austin, TX 78750
Memorial Miniture Golf (Buda)
If you like military history, you’ll enjoy the special plaques and iconic war images at each hole. This is a hard course due to the many random slopes and bumps. The holes could be a little more interesting and the slopes add a little excitement/frustration.
- Setting: Outdoor
- Number of holes: 18
- Par: 60
- Course difficulty: 3
- Mini-golf cost per person: $14 for adults; $10 for veterans, military, seniors, and kids 5-12 years old; and free for kids 4 years old and under
- Other amenities: Each hole has a plaque that gives more information on a significant military event
- Food: None
- Parking: Free parking lot
- Address: 1710 N Farm to Market 1626, Buda, TX 78610
Monster Mini Golf (Round Rock)
This chain has locations all over the U.S. and Canada. Their glow-in-the-dark course has creepy decor like it’s Halloween-themed.

Peter Pan Mini Golf
An Austin classic, Peter Pan Mini Golf has been open since 1948. Here you’ll find many fun sculptures. The east course is supposed to be easier than the west course. Because of its central location, this course gets a bit busier than the others.
- Setting: Outdoor
- Number of holes: Two 18-hole courses
- Course difficulty: 2
- Mini-golf cost per person: $9 for one course or $14 for two courses per adult, $7 for one course or $12 for two courses for kids 5 and younger
- Other amenities: BYOB
- Food: None
- Parking: Free parking lot but small and gets full quickly
- Address: 1207 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX 78704
The farthest spots on this list are in Buda and Round Rock, but there are two additional courses if you live farther from Austin. Dreamland is in Dripping Springs and Centex Mini Golf is in Georgetown if you want more options.
Keep an eye on PopStroke, a national mini-golf chain co-owned by Tiger Woods, coming to Austin next year!
