Who this list is for
A four-person family can turn a carpeted room or protected hard floor into a mini golf course for game night. Set it up away from stairs, breakables, and the main route through the room.
How to use this list
Walk the room first and map six holes using plastic putting cups. Mark lanes with painter’s tape and use non-slip rug pads under obstacles that could slide. Build simple challenges from pool noodles, cardboard shipping boxes, paper towel tubes, storage bins, funnels, and wooden building blocks. Give each player a child-sized plastic putter, foam golf balls, scorecard, and pencil.
Common mistakes
Do not use regular golf balls indoors. Keep tape and obstacles off stair landings and out of doorways. Skip tall cardboard ramps that can collapse or sharp turns that send foam balls toward furniture. Measure each lane with the measuring tape if you want fair starting points, but leave enough room for players to stand safely.
What is on this list
You will need six putting cups, eight foam golf balls, four plastic putters, painter’s tape, pool noodles, shipping boxes, paper towel tubes, storage bins, funnels, building blocks, non-slip rug pads, scorecards, pencils, masking tape, and a measuring tape. Cross off supplies you already have.
When you are done
Count the scorecards, remove tape slowly, and return all loose balls to a storage bin. Flatten any cardboard obstacles you want to keep for the next family game night.
