From the reviews
We love to Putt Putt, so while visiting we made our way over on a Saturday morning shortly after opening. The courses were pretty crowded. We did all 18 holes and actually enjoyed the easier course more.
Pirate’s Cove is hands-down my favorite mini golf destination. The pirate theme is immersive and consistent throughout, making it a fun experience for all ages. The course is clean, well-maintained, and creatively designed with fun water features that add an extra layer of enjoyment.
This amusement park is one of the nicest places to spend time with family and friends. The atmosphere is fun, relaxing, and full of energy. The rides are exciting, the area is very clean, and everything is organized well. The staff are friendly, respectful, and always smiling.
Normally I'm not too much into mini golf, but you can't not enjoy yourself here. The staff were all very friendly and helpful getting us going. The entire grounds are very well maintained and clean. The mini golf holes were all a lot of fun. Challenging, but not over the top hard.
