If you’re looking at a way to escape the heat and test your putting skills, crazy golf/mini golf is a brilliant option. There are some great venues in Dubai for you to take on your friends or family in a fun, frenetic environment.
Here are the top 5 crazy golf courses in Dubai (in no particular order):
3D Blacklight Mini Golf Dubai (Jumeirah Beach Residence)
This indoor mini golf course is both 3D and glow in the dark to enhance your crazy golf experience. The course is separated into different themes so your putting skills will be tested in space, under the sea, in the desert and more. It took two artists eight months to hand-paint and is definitely worth a visit if you’ve never been before.

Open daily 12pm to 1am,
Dhs 90 for children aged 5 to 12, Dhs 110 for adults.

Tee & Putt (Wafi Mall)
This glow in the dark crazy golf venue at Wafi Mall is another brilliant option and is more affordable than the 3D Blacklight Mini Golf in Marina. You can play mini golf in the company of aliens and astronauts surrounding the holes and have a great time trying to beat your playing partners.
