📍 Ferrymead, Canterbury
Ferrymead Golf combines three themed mini putt courses — Volcano, Grassland, and Jungle — with a 26-bay driving range, Jellyball, paintball, and a licensed café. Birthday party packages include supervised activities and party rooms.
This was such a cool experience. So much fun. I haven't played mini golf in CHCH for probably 20 years. I did play in UK about 5 years ago. That was a well thought out course, and this one compares. I went with 4 other people and we had a great time. Staff were friendly and genuinely asked if we had a good time before we left as they cared. It wasnt a polite, we "should ask" it mattered to them. Prices were reasonable and while I found it slightly challenging to navigate some holes using a walker it didnt hinder the game. Top points for offering Hapai Card Discount. ($8 with, $16 without) $13 for student or senior. It was an 18 hole course. We did "The Volcano" and would absolutely recommend. My day was topped off with 2 holes in one which countered the dreadful 7 shot start. Will absolutely go back again. Hidden treasure of CHCH.

“We had our boy’s 8th birthday party here and booked the Jellyball and Mini Golf packages — such a great choice. The kids had an absolute blast. The staff were fantastic, especially the guy who explained the Jellyball rules. The way he spoke to the boys was fun, clear, and spot-on for their age. Highly recommend for kids’ parties”

“I visited this golf club for the first time with a mate as a casual player. I played nine holes, and it felt like a good size and beginner-friendly course. L They also offer plenty of other activities, like paintball. I’d definitely go back in the future to try more of what they have.”
