On October 10, to thoroughly implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, comprehensively advance the national fitness strategy, and drive the high-quality development of national fitness initiatives, the 2026 Event Promotion and Negotiation Activity, organized by the China Leisure Sports Administration Center (CLSAC) of the General Administration of Sport of China (GASC), grandly commenced in Zhuhai's Jinwan District. Minigolf made a remarkable appearance as one of the promoted projects at this event.

At the promotion event, Minigolf attracted significant attention due to its simple techniques and high entertainment value. Two major national events—the "2026 National Minigolf Championships" and the "2026 National Minigolf Open"—were highlighted. The hosting of national Minigolf events will continue to promote the deep integration of competitive skill enhancement and social popularization, driving Minigolf toward greater professionalism and inclusivity.

I. Event Planning: Establishing Two Major Event Systems to Cater to Diverse Participants

To ensure broad coverage and professionalism, the Minigolf program for 2026 will establish two national event systems: the "2026 National Minigolf Championships" and the "2026 National Minigolf Open." The Championships are positioned as high-level competitive events, while the Open focuses on public participation and promotion, creating a year-round Minigolf event system with distinct emphases. This system will meet the needs of Minigolf enthusiasts at various skill levels and encourage broader public participation through standardized events, embodying the national fitness concept of "health connecting everyone."

II. Event Promotion: Aligning with National Fitness Needs to Activate New Energy in Sports

As one of the key public sports projects promoted by CLSAC, Minigolf, with its unique advantages of "high entertainment value, low participation barriers, and suitability for all ages," has been gradually promoted across many regions in China in recent years. It has become an important vehicle for enriching public sports life and supporting the Healthy China initiative. In 2026, the national Minigolf events will closely align with the core objective of "balancing popularization and enhancement," focusing both on attracting beginners to experience the sport and providing a platform for high-level elite athletes to exchange and improve. This will drive Minigolf from a "leisure and entertainment" activity toward a direction that blends "competition and leisure," injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of national fitness.

III. Future Outlook: Uniting Multiple Forces to Write a New Chapter in Sports Development

A representative responsible for the on-site promotion of the Minigolf project stated that in 2025, efforts to promote and popularize Minigolf have been steadily advancing. In August, the first national-level referee and coach training courses were successfully held in Kunshan, Suzhou, establishing a professional talent pool of nearly 200 individuals. In early October, the 2025 National Minigolf Championships concluded successfully in Yiyang, Hunan, attracting 14 teams from six provinces and municipalities, garnering nationwide attention. The 2025 National Minigolf Open (Kunshan Station) will also be held in November. In 2026, under the guidance of CLSAC, the China Minigolf Sport Promotion Committee (CMPC) will actively collaborate with various partners to continuously improve the event service system, strengthen the training of referees and coaches, and enhance the promotion of events and activities. Minigolf will be introduced into multiple settings, including communities, schools, enterprises, and scenic spots, making it a national fitness activity that the public "loves to participate in, can participate in, and frequently participates in." Simultaneously, with events as a link, we will jointly sketch a new blueprint for the development of Minigolf and contribute more to the national fitness cause!
