You should do this activity with family. A great place to hand out and spend quality time don’t know about the negative reviews but I did find it well maintained. Do visit this place when you are in hanmer spring and it’s not expensive at all .

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for casual families visiting Hanmer Springs who want a low-key outdoor activity with scenery rather than a precision putting challenge. Kids under 10 enjoy the course regardless of conditions. Competitive players or those sensitive to insects should try the alternative course in town first.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Apply insect repellent before starting β€” sandflies swarm across the course and bites are severe
⏰Play with relaxed expectations on the concrete base as balls bounce and roll unpredictably
🎟️Wind is common at this location and will push balls off line, especially on exposed holes
πŸš—Bring student ID if claiming teenage discount as staff may request proof

β€œVery well kept mini golf course with lovely scenic views. Shame about the womans attitude who demand I prove my 17 yr old daughter is still at school and was quite rude about it.”

β€œCame to Alpine Crazy Putt golf today. Looked great at a distance, was quite busy, but wasn't my favorite mini golf course I've ever been to. There were a few issues with the greens not being kept , loads of dirty patches and weeds growing up thru the edges and in the holes. I mean, it is what it is, it's an outdoor mini golf course, just could use a bit of love to boost it up a bit.”

β€œNice crazy putt atmosphere and great location. Sandflies are insane though, absolutely swarmed us and bit us beyond belief. Not sure why or what could be done but we seriously considered just abandoning our game (and money)!”

Overview

Alpine Crazy Putt sits on Conical Hill Road with a strong mountain backdrop. The concrete base causes unpredictable ball movement, and wind regularly affects play. Sandflies can swarm players across the course. Maintenance has been inconsistent β€” some visitors find it well-kept, others report weeds and dirty patches. Combo deals with Village Cruisers are available. A recently returfed alternative course exists elsewhere in town at the same price point.
