Our Story
Where Outback Grit Meets Creative Vision
Outback Opal Putters is the passion project of Lightning Ridge opal miner Pete Cooke. After years underground chasing black opals, Pete turned his creative energy above ground — crafting an 18-hole miniature golf course unlike anything you've ever seen.
The course blends steampunk aesthetics with outback Australian soul. Industrial sculptures, salvaged mining machinery, and Pete's own handcrafted artwork transform every hole into a story. It's not just mini golf — it's a gallery, a sculpture park, and a family adventure all in one.
Handcrafted Artistry
Every hole is a unique sculpture built from recycled mining equipment and outback ingenuity.
Born from the Ridge
Created by opal miner Pete Cooke, the course blends Lightning Ridge heritage with creative flair.
