1 / 2Carlucci Land
📍 Ōwhiro Bay, Wellington
Outdoor 18-hole mini golf in Ōwhiro Bay, ten minutes from Wellington CBD, set among Carl Gifford's recycled-metal sculptures of kiwis, spiders, snakes and other creatures. Free parking, honesty box midweek, BBQ and seating above the course.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A genuinely original Wellington mini golf - 18 outdoor holes routed through Carl Gifford's scrap-metal sculptures rather than the usual pirate windmills. Tree-shaded on hot days, honesty box keeps it relaxed, and the BBQ-and-seating area above the course works for a picnic afterwards.

“After living in Wellington for 50 years I finally made it to Carlucci Land and what a fun day, great minigolf course and awesome scrap metal sculptures everywhere you look, a terrific few hours of family fun. Easy access by public transport too.”

“Very fun mini golf course, at a reasonable cost. Many of the holes had little ramp contraptions to make things more interesting and fun. And there was a mix of sunny and shaded holes, so it was quite comfortable.”
