At Putterfingers we are big advocates of the benefits of mini golf to school and college students. While mini golf may seem like just a recreational activity, is a great way for pupils to socialise, stay active, and develop important skills in a fun and engaging way. it offers many benefits that can enhance teamwork whilst engaging pupils in physical activity.
Why Mini Golf for Schools?
Here are some ways in which mini golf can be beneficial for schools & colleges:
- It’s inclusive: Mini golf is a low-impact activity that can be enjoyed by students of all ages and abilities. It does not require a high level of physical fitness, making it accessible to everyone.
- It’s fun: Mini golf is a fun activity that can engage students and motivate them to participate in physical activity. It provides a break from traditional team sports and can help students develop a positive attitude toward physical education.
- It promotes hand-eye coordination: Mini golf requires a high level of hand-eye coordination, which can help students improve their motor skills and overall coordination.
- It encourages problem-solving: Mini golf courses are designed with obstacles and challenges that require players to use problem-solving skills to navigate through them. This can help students develop critical thinking skills and enhance their cognitive abilities.
- It requires patience and persistence: Mini golf can be challenging and frustrating, but it also requires patience and persistence to succeed. Practicing these traits on the mini golf course can translate to other areas of life.
- It helps with maths: Keeping track of your score and calculating your final score can be a helpful way to practice basic math skills.
Overall, mini golf is a fun and entertaining activity that can bring pupils together. It provides a relaxed environment for children, teenagers and young adults to practice goal-setting, strategy, and problem-solving skills.

“The course itself is very simple to put together (provided with instructions as well, if we needed to use them). It’s fantastic that the tile format allows us to create unique courses to fit any space and the colour scheme looks smart. Once set up the course definitely has a ‘wow’ factor, with lots of our students coming over to see what was going on and getting involved. Everyone who participated enjoyed playing, especially the obstacles – some are particularly challenging!”
