Crazy Golf: Hong Kong’s First Indoors-to-Outdoors Mini Golf Experience
As part of Taikoo Place’s efforts to bring Hong Kong’s most unique blend of cultural and sporting activities to the wider public, this year’s TCSM features a first-of-its-kind mini golf setup that takes players on an exciting adventure across the precinct’s indoor and outdoor spaces. The innovative course design brilliantly encapsulates the vibrant Taikoo Place community, with colourful and creative details that integrate its work, live and play elements. Highlights of the nine fun yet challenging holes include a miniature version of Taikoo Place complete with its arched footbridge, a culinary-inspired spread with cocktails and baguettes as obstacles, a flexible workspace with a computer and reading chairs, and colourful descending drums and cymbals representing the music events taking place within the Taikoo Place community. Crazy Golf is not only a fun activity to enjoy with friends and family, but also an engaging experience that fosters community connection.
