Pirates Island

Big fan. I’m a huge mini golfer and try to play whenever I go on a trip and this place was pretty fun. There are two courses, one a bit harder than the other but the «greens» are nice and they aren’t made up of a completely cheap material. There are some challenging courses and some easier but the place has a number of fun obstacles/​challenges that will make it fun.
A must try if you are going to mini golf.

There’s a big fake mountain in the middle that the course is based around. Some cool cave and tunnel holes. Not much shade. Pretty standard mini-​golf, I guess.

This was so much fun!
You can’t REALLY fault the course for slow people in front of you, can you? There was a back up of at least 4 groups (couldn’t really see further because it curved a lot). Also can’t blame them for a horrible child who ran around while people were playing…
The staff were friendly when we paid and helpful because we were a bit confused.
Why is the water blue?
Awesome photo opportunity at the end…

Excellent mini golf course! There are two levels of difficulty; we did the lower one. It was attainable but not too easy. We had fun, and it’s in a great location. We stayed at an oceanfront place in OOB and this was within walking distance.
One HUGE criticism: The staff do not enforce the «no more than 4 people per game» rule. And this causes a problem. We (my boyfriend and I) got stuck behind 2 parties of 6+ people. Not only was the rule not enforced but these people were not considerate enough to split off into groups of 3 each to keep things moving along… nor did they let us go ahead of them… but that’s another story. Anyway, most of our time at Pirate’s Island was spent waiting… and waiting… and waiting. There was another couple behind us who were also visibly annoyed. I mean, it’s not like we were in a rush (it’s vacation, after all!), and we still had a good time. But it was still inconvenient, and waiting is what I remember most about Pirates Island, not the game.

This was our only mini-​golf outing in OOB & I was impressed.
The course wasn’t too challenging but enough for our family to enjoy. Out of our party 3 of us had holes in 1 which was cool. They do have 2 separate courses which wind together so we switched halfway since it was getting congested but didn’t really notice a change in the level of difficulty.
I’d recommend Pirates Cove to everyone to check out if you’re in OOB. It’s not even that far a walk from the downtown area & it’s a laid back alternative to the usual beach scene.

Under 3 is free. Went with our son who was 4 and this is the first time he was actually able to finish. They have 2 courses that wind together. 1 captain kids is the one we did. Not to sunny. They had some shade. Great for family it was $ 8.50 per adult. Only thing that would make it better is if they had more pirate stuff. Only had fishing nets.
