A cardboard mini golf course is one of those event pieces that people instantly understand. Guests see it, wander over, pick up a putter and suddenly you have people laughing, competing, taking photos and spending more time in the space. Our cardboard mini golf courses are designed for brand activations, shopping centres, exhibitions, conferences, family days, community events and workplace activations. They can be built as a simple 3-hole course for a smaller footprint or expanded into a larger multi-hole experience with themed obstacles, branded graphics and custom shapes. Because the structures are made from cardboard, they are lightweight, easy to transport and can be customised in ways that traditional mini golf courses usually are not. We can create holes shaped around products, logos, mascots, landmarks, campaign themes or event concepts. For brands looking for an interactive element that is easy to understand and suitable for a wide range of ages, cardboard mini golf is a strong option. How the Cardboard Mini Golf Course Works Mini golf courses are typically made up of individual holes that can be arranged to suit the available space. Each hole is built as its own section, which makes transport, bump in and pack down much easier. We can create: Simple Straight Holes Great for smaller budgets, faster bump ins or events where you want a clean branded look. Obstacles and Interactive Features Ramps, tunnels, cut-out shapes and themed structures can all be built into the course to make it more playful and visually interesting. Modular Layouts The holes can be rearranged into different layouts depending on the venue. A course might run in a straight line through a foyer, wrap around a tradeshow stand, sit within a retail activation or be spread across a larger event space. Customisation, Branding and Sizing One of the biggest advantages of a cardboard mini golf course is how much creative freedom it allows. A sports brand might have oversized product shapes as obstacles. A tourism campaign could include local landmarks. A school holiday activation might feature animals, jungle themes or fantasy elements. Common Customisation Options Printed logos and branding Full colour graphics across the course Custom obstacle shapes Product replicas or mascot cut-outs Branded scorecards and signage Photo moment elements built into the course Themed arches, tunnels and interactive pieces LED lighting or integrated screens in nearby structures Sustainability Our cardboard mini golf courses are built from recyclable board sourced from responsible suppliers. Because the material is lightweight, it is easier and more efficient to transport than heavier timber or MDF builds. That can reduce freight weight, labour requirements and overall production impact. Many of the components can also be reused. A branded skin, obstacle or printed top layer might change between events while the internal structure stays the same. Some clients keep their mini golf holes for repeat activations, touring events or future campaigns. Businesses are increasingly being asked to think about their environmental footprint, event waste and social impact. Reusable cardboard display structures and activation builds can help support those goals while still creating something visually exciting and engaging. Ideal Uses for a Cardboard Mini Golf Course Cardboard mini golf works particularly well for: Brand activations Shopping centre activations Trade shows and exhibitions Corporate family days School holiday programs Retail pop ups Product launches Tourism campaigns Community events and festivals Workplace wellbeing days Conference breakout areas Theatre foyers and immersive experiences Mini golf is useful when you want people to spend longer in a space, interact with your brand and create natural photo opportunities.
