From November 15 to 16, 2025, the National Minigolf Sport Annual Work Conference was successfully held in Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province. The conference brought together 37 representatives from 17 provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions, relevant institutions, and enterprises across the country to discuss the future development of Minigolf, laying a solid foundation for promoting the standardized and large-scale growth of the sport.

In the morning of November 15, all attendees participated in the opening ceremony of the 2025 National Minigolf Open (Kunshan Station) and engaged in on-site observation and learning. By experiencing the competition atmosphere and organizational processes firsthand, the representatives gained valuable practical insights for the subsequent conference discussions.

During the morning session, Li Zhiping, Vice Chairperson of the China Minigolf Sport Promotion Committee (CMPC), delivered a work summary report on the previous term of the CMPC, systematically reviewing the progress and achievements made in promoting the sport over the past year. This was followed by Wu Wan’an, Secretary-General of the CMPC, who introduced the key work plan for the next phase, outlining the goals and pathways for future development. Finally, Huang Qiang, Deputy Director of the China Leisure Sports Administration Center (CLSAC) and newly appointed Chairperson of the CMPC, delivered an important speech, comprehensively summarizing the accomplishments of Minigolf in China and outlining the key tasks for the future.

In his address, Chairperson Huang Qiang fully acknowledged the remarkable achievements of Minigolf in China during the previous stage. He highlighted that the successful organization of the national-level coach and referee training courses has cultivated the first cohort of professional talent for the sport. Moreover, the successful hosting of the 2025 "Qingxi Cup" National Minigolf Championships in Qingxi Village, Yiyang City, Hunan Province, created a model case of deep integration of "culture, sports, and tourism," providing replicable success stories for the sport's promotion. He emphasized that the CLSAC will continue to support the work of the CMPC, bringing the fun and dynamic sport of Minigolf to millions of Chinese families and people.

In the afternoon session, Wang Zhihui, Chairperson of Suzhou SmartPutt Sports Technology Co., Ltd., first provided a systematic overview of experience in organizing Minigolf events. Subsequently, Li Bo, representative of the executing unit for the 2025 "Qingxi Cup" National Minigolf Championships, shared the event's success stories, offering valuable insights for promotion across regions—from event planning and execution to the integration of "culture, sports, and tourism." During the open discussion segment, representatives actively engaged in lively discussions on topics such as sport popularization, event innovation, and multi-industry integration.

To further improve the standardization system of the sport, the conference also included a dedicated session in the afternoon to review regulatory documents related to Minigolf, such as competition rules and event organization guidelines. This provided institutional safeguards for the healthy and orderly development of the sport.

On the morning of November 16, attendees continued to observe the matches of the 2025 National Minigolf Open (Kunshan Station), further learning about event operations and athlete management. They also fully experienced the charm of Minigolf after the matches, accumulating valuable experience for future promotion at the local level.

Through a combination of "observation + discussion + review," this National Minigolf Project Annual Work Conference comprehensively summarized the development experiences of the sport, clarified future pathways for advancement, and refined the regulatory framework. The conference fostered consensus, with all representatives expressing their commitment to using this meeting as a new starting point to jointly promote the development of Minigolf in their respective regions. This will inject new momentum into the nationwide promotion, popularization, and high-quality development of Minigolf.

National Sports GASC CLSAC 2026 Event Promotion and Negotiation Activity Grandly Launches, Minigolf Events Attract Attention

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.

2025-10-11 10:21:25 China Minigolf Sport Promotion Committee (CMPC)

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!

Enhancing Skills Through Training, Leading Development: 2025 National Minigolf Coach Training Course Concludes Successfully

Facing the backdrop of the rapid development of Minigolf, talent cultivation has become a critical factor in promoting the standardization and sustainable growth of the sport. Following the National Minigolf Referee Training Course, the 2025 National Minigolf Coach Training Course, organized by the China Leisure Sports Administration Center (CLSAC) of the General Administration of Sport of China (GASC), hosted by the China Minigolf Sport Promotion Committee (CMPC) and the Jiangsu Provincial Social Sports Management Center, and executed by Suzhou SmartPutt Sports Technology Co., Ltd., successfully concluded from August 31 to September 1 at the Suzhou Wangyuan Valley International Minigolf Course. This coach training course attracted a total of 69 participants from multiple provinces and cities across the country. By holding the referee and coach training courses consecutively, the initiative not only facilitated the simultaneous improvement of referees and coaches but also laid a solid talent foundation for the future popularization and competitive development of Minigolf.

Facing the backdrop of the rapid development of Minigolf, talent cultivation has become a critical factor in promoting the standardization and sustainable growth of the sport. Following the National Minigolf Referee Training Course, the 2025 National Minigolf Coach Training Course, organized by the China Leisure Sports Administration Center (CLSAC) of the General Administration of Sport of China (GASC), hosted by the China Minigolf Sport Promotion Committee (CMPC) and the Jiangsu Provincial Social Sports Management Center, and executed by Suzhou SmartPutt Sports Technology Co., Ltd., successfully concluded from August 31 to September 1 at the Suzhou Wangyuan Valley International Minigolf Course. This coach training course attracted a total of 69 participants from multiple provinces and cities across the country. By holding the referee and coach training courses consecutively, the initiative not only facilitated the simultaneous improvement of referees and coaches but also laid a solid talent foundation for the future popularization and competitive development of Minigolf.

Unlike referee training, which emphasizes standardized officiating, this coach training course focused more on the dissemination and promotion of teaching. The curriculum balanced both theoretical concepts and practical applications, covering teaching methods for different age groups and sharing teaching cases based on school and community settings. During the on-site practical sessions, participants first learned about the distinctions among different Minigolf course layouts and then divided into groups to simulate teaching scenarios on various holes. They explored how to design courses within limited spaces, guide beginners in mastering basic techniques, and strike a balance between fun and standardization. Through an interactive learning environment, participants enhanced their teaching organization and communication skills in practice.

The theoretical assessment primarily evaluated participants' understanding of teaching principles and management regulations, while the practical assessment examined their teaching and technical abilities. Many participants expressed that the training not only helped them master teaching skills but also made them aware of their responsibilities as coaches: they are not merely instructors of techniques but also facilitators guiding the public toward a healthy lifestyle.

As the talent pool of coaches continues to expand, the coach workforce will become a backbone force in promoting Minigolf. They will delve into communities, enter schools and office buildings, and introduce the sport to the public in a more scientific and systematic manner. Within the wave of national fitness, coaches are not only disseminators of skills but also advocates of healthy concepts and active lifestyles. Their professional leadership will drive Minigolf to become a national sport that integrates multiple values, including health, social interaction, and family-parenting experiences.

In the future, the development of Minigolf will enter a new phase that emphasizes both popularization and enhancement. During the 2025 National Day holiday, the National Minigolf Championships will be held in Qingxi Village, Yiyang City, Hunan Province, followed by the National Minigolf Open, which will take place in succession.

Standardized Officiating, Joint Promotion of Development: The 2025 National Minigolf Referee Training Course Concludes Successfully

Minigolf is a sport that combines competitive and recreational characteristics, with a history spanning a century internationally. Easy to learn and suitable for all ages, Minigolf features small venues, simple rules, and high entertainment value. It retains its challenging nature while lowering the barrier to participation, demonstrating broad prospects for development within the national fitness initiative.

Minigolf is a sport that combines competitive and recreational characteristics, with a history spanning a century internationally. Easy to learn and suitable for all ages, Minigolf features small venues, simple rules, and high entertainment value. It retains its challenging nature while lowering the barrier to participation, demonstrating broad prospects for development within the national fitness initiative.

To further improve the professional talent training system for Minigolf and promote the standardized development of the sport, the 2025 National Minigolf Referee Training Course was successfully held from August 29 to 30 at the Suzhou Wangyuan Valley International Minigolf Course. The course was organized by the China Leisure Sports Administration Center (CLSAC) of the General Administration of Sport of China (GASC), hosted by the China Minigolf Sport Promotion Committee (CMPC) and the Jiangsu Provincial Social Sports Management Center, and executed by Suzhou SmartPutt Sports Technology Co., Ltd. The training attracted 97 participants from 12 provinces and municipalities across the country, who gathered to study Minigolf competition knowledge.

The two-day training covered rule interpretation, case studies, experience sharing, and practical drills. Through the close integration of theory and practice, participants systematically mastered the officiating methods and standard requirements for referees. Guided by the principles of "fairness, impartiality, and openness," the trainees not only enhanced their professional skills but also strengthened their sense of professional responsibility and mission, laying a solid foundation for the standardized organization of national Minigolf events in the future.

The assessment combined theory and practice, with a strong emphasis on real-world application. The theoretical section focused on testing the referees' understanding and application of the rules, particularly their judgment in special competition scenarios. The practical section simulated real-game situations, covering key aspects such as teeing off, strokes, stroke counting, and foul rulings, requiring participants to make quick and accurate decisions within time limits.

Looking ahead, under the guidance of China's national fitness strategy, Minigolf will continue to expand its reach. Promotion efforts will focus on communities, schools, office buildings, and other settings, enabling more people to participate and fostering a sports atmosphere that is "accessible to everyone and feasible everywhere." Meanwhile, the gradual improvement of the competition system will effectively enhance the sport's influence, boost participation enthusiasm, and form a virtuous cycle where events drive popularity and popularity fuels development.

During the upcoming National Day "Golden Week," the National Minigolf Championships will be held in Qingxi Village, Yiyang City, Hunan Province. The National Minigolf Open will also be held successively, providing a broader stage for athletes, coaches, and referees and promoting exchanges and development of the sport nationwide.

Minigolf is not just a sport but also a healthy lifestyle. With the continuous growth of the professional talent pool, this sport is poised to reach the public in a more standardized manner and become an important component of the national fitness movement.
