Families across Australia can swap backyard egg hunts for golfing greens these Easter school holidays, with X-Golf and Hey Caddy venues serving up family-friendly golf experiences that are perfect for all ages and abilities.
Whether it’s sinking putts on a colourful mini-golf course or stepping into a world-class simulator to take on more than 100 of the world’s best greens, the venues offer a fun, accessible way for families to spend time together over the break.
But the experience goes well beyond the fairways. Both venues pair their golf with lively hospitality spaces, serving up share-style bites, pizzas, burgers and snacks alongside a full drinks menu, making it just as easy to settle in for a meal as it is to line up the next shot.
To mark the school holidays, Hey Caddy is inviting families to hit the mini golf course with its “Bring Your Adult for Free” promotion, where for every child round purchased, one adult can join them at no extra cost by using code KIDSSHOUT26. On the sims, families can enjoy a $99 package which includes 1.5-hour simulator and club hire plus pizza and drink tokens, creating a fun and easy way for families to enjoy time together on the course during the break.
For many families, X-Golf simulators and Hey Caddy mini golf is the first step into the wider world of golf, offering a welcoming and pressure-free introduction that can spark a lasting interest in the game.
At X-Golf Rockingham in Western Australia, the concept is helping to nurture the next generation of players.
Young golfer Aleiah began her journey indoors and now documents her progress on Instagram, inspiring other kids to give the sport a try. Her father Daniel says starting in a simulator environment has been invaluable.
“Getting started in a more structured format has allowed her to grow, make mistakes and just enjoy the game in her own way,” Daniel said.
“The best thing is to be able to share our passion for golf together. We spend a lot of time at X-Golf hitting balls without the stress of having to find them, which leaves more time to drink milkshakes and have a laugh.”

At X-Golf Palmerston in the Northern Territory, Curtly Reid says his local venue has become part of his family’s routine.
“I’ve been playing at X-Golf Palmerston for just over a year now and from day one it felt like home,” Reid said.
“It’s a space where anyone can have a go. My four-year-old son even comes along and gets to hit a few balls and he absolutely loves it. It’s very relaxed and family-friendly.”
With adjustable tee positions and flexible settings some of the key features at X-Golf, children can play without pressure while parents fine-tune their own game alongside them.
We’ve seen a great example of this in Rockingham, where local Emily Jauncey’s golfing journey began after she brought her children in for a round of Hey Caddy mini golf. She later joined the venue’s inaugural Ladies Night and has since recorded multiple personal bests, now competing confidently in tournaments and competitions.
Found in 10 X-Golf venues across Australia, Hey Caddy is a vibrant, design-led mini golf experience built for pure family fun. With creatively themed courses, bright visuals and an upbeat atmosphere, it offers kids an exciting insight to the game while parents join in the laughs.
The X-Golf experience combines world-class simulator technology with a relaxed, family-friendly environment that makes golf approachable for everyone. Players can tee off on iconic courses from around the world, adjust settings to suit different ages and skill levels, and enjoy the game without weather interruptions or time pressures.
This Easter, venues nationwide are encouraging families to book bays, challenge each other on iconic international courses and enjoy a social, air-conditioned environment that suits beginners and seasoned golfers alike.
