Minigolf du Jura in Fribourg: 18 holes outdoors, floodlit in the evening

A green course in the Jura district, in Fribourg

A stone's throw from the old town, the Minigolf du Jura in Fribourg sets its 18 holes in a peaceful patch of greenery, away from the bustle. You come here to share a no-fuss round, enjoy the open air and spend a light family moment. The setting is simple and pleasant, ideal for a spur-of-the-moment afternoon outing or to round off the evening. A rare bonus: the course is floodlit, which makes night rounds possible in summer. A refreshment kiosk lets you take a break and have a drink between two holes. It's an accessible, sociable activity that appeals to young and old alike.

What your children will discover

Your children will play through 18 holes, each with its obstacles and its angle to find. It's a perfect playground for learning to aim, to gauge a shot and to wait while everyone takes their turn. The youngest love seeing the ball drop into the hole after a few attempts, while the older ones get caught up in the precision challenge. On a summer evening, playing under the course's lights has a little magic that changes everything. No need to be a champion: everyone leaves with a smile.

What you'll do and the atmosphere on site

You come here to unwind. The atmosphere is relaxed, family-friendly, with no pressure. You take your club and ball, and move from one hole to the next at your own pace. Between rounds, the kiosk is the meeting point to have a drink, catch your breath and relive the match. The Jura district, quiet and green, gives the whole place a countryside feel in the middle of the city. The summer night rounds, under the course's floodlights, are a real plus for those who like to extend the outing.

Tips from parents

• Bring cash: payment is in cash only on site, for both entry and the kiosk.
• In high summer, aim for late afternoon or the evening: the course stays open late and the floodlighting lets you play in the cool.
• The last start is one hour before closing: arrive with a little margin to finish the 18 holes.
