Piraten minigolf - zicht op een hole van de piratenminigolf

De Vuvuzela. Welcome!

A new wave trend has spread over from America and Asia. The tight courses make way for their own imagination and the most diverse, natural forms.
In 2011 Ollevier & co made the first Country miniature golf of the Benelux, "De Piratenminigolf" in Ham. This minigolf consists of 18 well-kept holes.
The border was made with Grauwacke rocks. The substrate is very close to artificial grass on a water-permeable gravel surface.
The course is quietly situated in the Hamse woods, with a view of the nearby garden and pond center Ollevier & co and the garden and bicycle cafe De Vuvuzela.
This makes the Pirate Mini Golf a very suitable relaxation for groups and individuals. You can also have something to drink or eat in the African garden and bicycle cafe De Vuvuzela.
There is also the possibility to make use of different arrangements of PindaPinda, such as birthday parties, family parties, company outings, school parties, etc.

The fairytale-like play and experience elements by artist Will Beckers that you encounter along the way are accompanied by educational explanations and tasks for children.

From egg to caterpillar… and from cocoon to butterfly… A butterfly only mates once in its life and can lay 200 to 300 eggs. Some butterfly species drop their eggs as they fly. And those are the eggs that you come across as stepping stones on your way through the woods. You will also find a jumbo and playable caterpillar, the butterfly’s miraculous growth process in the cocoon and a real butterfly takes children on its flight.
