Visiting Gilligan's Island Funland for mini golf was a last-minute idea, but it turned out to be a ton of fun! We hadn't played in ages. We went a little early, so it wasn't too crowded, which made the experience even better. We brought Luna along with us, and no one said anything about her being there. I can't say for certain whether the place is officially pet-friendly, but sometimes it's hard to tell-especially with how well-behaved Luna is. I think people see how calm she is and don't mind, which is wonderful. It's unfortunate when one poorly behaved dog ruins it for others. Not all dogs are suited for experiences like this, but in most cases, it's more about the handler not providing the proper training and guidance. Dogs are incredibly smart-they just need direction to learn how to behave appropriately. As for the mini golf, we had a beautiful day to play. We kept Luna on her leash and had her sit or lie down while we took our turns. My husband won (I'm not the best), but we had a great time just enjoying the moment. read more

This is the hardest putt putt course I have ever seen! Fun to walk through but the paths are super narrow. Tricky to bring a baby if you're bringing the whole family, would be easiest to wear them but obviously not ideal in the heat. read more

Most places with a 2.2 stars deserved it. This one earned it. Gilligan's isn't bad... it's misunderstood. Before I get started on this review I'd like to say that I am a scratch mini-golfer. This is something I don't take lightly. However, this course is not for the faint of heart. It's for warriors. For those ready to climb 400 feet of elevation change with a neon golf ball and a dream. The name says "Funland," but that's a misdirect. This is Traumaland. First of all, elevation changes? Unreal. You need the leg strength of someone who walks uphill both ways to work to climb some of these holes. I saw a family of four take a water break halfway through a putt. You're putting uphill, downhill, sideways, and somehow existentially. I hit a putt that rolled for eight seconds and ended up behind me. The greens roll faster than my childhood dog, Spunky, when the gate was left open. I tapped a ball like I was diffusing a bomb, and it still shot off the green like it had errands to run. You want fake pirate ships and loop-de-loops? Go elsewhere. This place offers raw, unfiltered adversity. No bumper guards. No shortcuts. Just 18 relentless holes of carnage, where par is a myth and the ducks appear to be unionized. The 2.2 rating? A defense mechanism. It keeps the weak out. The soft. The Yelp elite who bring their own pens. This isn't for them. This is for the people who want to get humbled by a palm tree and still say "thank you." For this, I give it 5 stars. read more

It took us 1 hour and 30 minutes to golf because there was no stroke limit and the holes were very difficult we were also stuck behind 9 people because there is not a limit to how many people you can have in a group also 4 of them were drunk read more

Older man working behind the counter was extremely rude and lacked basic social/communication skills. When we walked in he was shouting expletives in front of my nephew. He told my sister to "not look at [him]" as she was leaving and sarcastically asked my mother if she was blind when she asked where the balls were. Take your money elsewhere--this guy is a creep. Not to mention the course was in very poor condition. There were several holes that were not designed well at all and there were bugs everywhere. read more

Gilligan's Island Funland - Old creepy guy - Mini Golf Near Me - Garden City, South Carolina

#1.) Creepy old man at the front desk was rude to each individual in my family. If we asked him a question it was either a rude response or no response at all. As we left he used profanity (at what is supposed to be a kid friendly place). #2.) This course was not worth the money at all. The dumbest putt putt design I've ever seen. Not to mention the greens were soaking wet and our clubs grips were all sticky. It's not often that I have to make a review. However, I wish no one the traumatic experience I had. read more

Gilligan's Island Funland - Creepy old man that was rude^ - Mini Golf Near Me - Garden City, South Carolina

Course definitely is hard but only because of the hills. Not as fun as other courses in the area. Older gentleman behind the desk was very short and rude. Prices say 12.95 per person and that you get a buy one get one free coupon to come back with adult purchase. However when we asked if that was the case (he was not going to give any out) he ignored us and we had to ask several times before giving us one (there was 4 adults). We then inquired since we got 3 hole in ones about the wheel you get to spin and he once again ignored us and made us show our card. He was very rude and what I would assume is the owner. I've been to many golf courses and would not give your money to this one. This is from April 2021 ** read more

My family and i came here to putt putt for a fun vacation activity. WRONG this was the worst mini golf experience i have ever encountered, the old bastard behind the counter was extremely rude to my family as we walked in, he didn't even acknowledge us, we had to speak to him first. The Castaways course was very challenging but also all the holes were similar and it was very over priced. Would NOT recommend! read more

They have 2 courses a challenging course and a hilly course. We played the tougher one and boy was it challenging! Tough to get a hole in one on this course but lots of fun. The maintenance staff needs to trim some of the bushes several were overgrown into the pathways. And the cups have a rim on them so many times the ball rims the cup. I don't recommend this course for elderly or little children. But great for competitive adults. read more

Some of these lower-rated stars are outdated it seems. We went July 28 2020, and the place was great. Grounds were great, the course was interesting, and it wasn't crowded when we went on an overcast day around noon. They've got 2 courses, we only played one of them. If you're looking to avoid the crowds up in MB, I'd give this a try. I'd def go back. read more

Take you money to one of the other miniature golf courses! The guy behind the desk was as rude as crap. There were 3 of us playing and my father asked if they had senior discounts. The guy said "sure, I will give all 3 of you the senior discount. That will be $38.75. After finishing, we saw the sign that was located behind us when we walked in that stated the games were $12.50 each. So, not only was the prick rude, but o ER charged us. I will be reporting this to the better business bureau. Please don't expose yourself or your family to this type of person! Addendum: From other posts, it sounds like you all have a random price. read more

The courses were challenging and fun. The only thing that I didn't like (at all) is that the holes have a lip on them above the grass. It made the already difficult courses much more difficult and unpredictable. read more

don't go, over priced, the cashier is a weird guy, he doesn't even talk to you when you walk in, you have to talk to him before. And I almost fell in the water because there's no rails. read more

Coupons only work BEFORE 6pm - BEWARE! It's pricey otherwise!! Rude man behind the desk was short and very rude. Said what the total was and didn't care if we played or not. At the end - he walked to the 18th and grabbed our putters out of our hands because people were waiting - Those putters probably did not get sanitized!!! The courses were ok - Not great, not bad. Lots of bugs at night. Too - Bring mosquito spray!!! If not for the rudeness, we'd have given a decent rating!!!!! read more

I hope you are as good as Tiger Woods! This is one of the hardest miniature golf courses ever!! The "water" on the course smelled like sewage. Perfect place for the misquotes to lay their eggs. Good luck. Bring your deet and don't be clumsy or you will be bathing in the mosquito lagoon. read more

Gilligan's Island Funland - Sewer Lagoon. - Mini Golf Near Me - Garden City, South Carolina

We played this course on August 19, 2020. The reason we stopped at this particular course was because the large sign out front said that they accepted competitors coupons. When we unloaded the kids and grandparents and went to pay we were rudely told they do not accept coupons after 6:00, it was 6:10. The course overall was very difficult and some holes were impossible. The course was not to crowded easy to maintain social distancing however, when you had to return your clubs you had to walk in front of all of the waiting customers to place them into a bucket rather than having the bucket next to the exit. I thought it was pretty expensive. read more

My family really enjoyed our trip to this mini golf location. The staff was very nice and they took competitor's coupons. We were able to have unlimited golf all day for $6 per person. The course was well maintained and it took us just over 2 hours to play both courses. I will say though, these are hard courses. It is very difficult to get a hole in one. We enjoyed the challenge, but this may be frustrating for younger players. We will definitely go back again. read more

See all

Went to this establishment last night. Lets just say my cousins and I arrived in great moods to immediately be shut down by the man behind the counter. His customer service was absolutely horrible. Apparently we were not moving fast enough for his liking (mind you no one was behind us). His whole mood was just negative and he seemed as if he would rather be any place else but there. I'm giving this place three stars only because we have come here multiple times before and it has become a tradition to come over the summer. But to be completely honest, to come to an establishment excited and in a good mood to being made feel like you're just in the way was not what we were expecting. read more

Dated. Bathrooms smell. Brush need cut throughout. Just needs updating . Good location but just not to standards of the courses in Myrtle read more

One of the best courses we've played. I liked that all holes had a walking path and that there are tons of rivers and waterfalls through the course. They built up 2 different mountains/caves and waterfalls, one for each course. Went two different days of vacation and interacted with three different women, all of whom were extremely helpful. Fantastic value for the play all day, did a few hours one morning, came back at 5pm for a final round before the 6pm evening crowd. kids had a great time, nothing I'd change about this course. read more

Old man is rude and did not provide good customer service. Owner needs to fire old man who works night shift. Was rude to my wife and daughter read more

Very nice little course. The lady behind the desk said that the mean older man was not working there anymore, but regardless, me and my two buddies had a blast. read more

This was our second mini golf of the trip, the first was Inlet Adventure up the road, which was much better. Gilligan's Island's sign said it takes competitors coupons but that is only until 6 and you don't find that out until you have unloaded all of the kids. Most of the holes weren't just difficult they were impossible! We have a family max of 5 strokes per hole which we ended up having to take on at least 1/3 and we couldn't have finish a couple given 100 strokes. The price was nearly twice that of the other course because they don't take coupons and anyone over 6 is an adult for some reason. We will not be back to play the other 18 and I am disappointed to have spent over $60 there to have no fun. If someone wants the buy one get one passes I will gladly mail them to you. read more

Closer to 3.5 stars. This course is not as well kept as others I have been to in the area. It may not have all the bells and whistles of other courses in the area, either. However, it was a fun and challenging course. I believe the price was $10 per adult. Before 6pm they will accept any competitors coupons. Overall it was fun! read more

We play a lot of courses while on Vacation, this course has to be the worse course our family has ever played and the highest price, half of the course is nonfunctional, bushes hanging over the course, course is run-done, the gentleman at desk was disrespectful, our family will never go back!!! read more

The old man behind the desk over charged us based off the listed price that wasn't visible when we walked in. The old man was not very nice at all. I will never be back, People go play the other golf place they are a lot cheaper and much nicer courses, I guarantee you will play less and have more fun!!! read more

Very nice place. The staff was pleasant and engaging. I would definitely recommend this course. The cost was a little higher than I expected at $9.75 read more

Very nice staff. Course is very uneven. Shallow cups. Balls were very light. Course was poorly engineered. Repaired edging caused balls to leave course read more

Left after they told us it was $13 per game. A bit pricey for our large group of 6. It may include 2 for one passes but we (like most others) always only play one game. Suggest having a single game price option. Paid $9 right up the street at Tupelo bay golf and saved $24. read more

Definately not worth $7.95. Old and run down. Right on the main strip...I was there during a Harley bike week, so the loud motorcycles were almost too much to bear while "golfing." Don't know about the quality of the 2-3 other putt putt golf in the area, but this one has definately seen better days. To add insult to injury, they only take cash and the old curmudgeon dude working the front desk was SMOKING indoors with customers present. the parking lot is connected to a run down trailer park as well. read more

We stopped tonplay at 925pm and they close at 10. They wouldn't let us play. They said we had to be off the course by 10. So, they actually close at 9 as far as letting people pay to play. But then again, we are white people so they dont care to turn us away read more

My family and I enjoyed our evening golfing here. The price was very reasonable compared to some other courses in the area. The course was well kept and the staff was very nice. There was a squirrel that kept visiting us as we played. My kids were fascinated with him. Overall, this course may not have all the bells and whistles of newer courses, but it was an inexpensive fun family night out! My family laughed and smiled the entire time. Make the best of the course and your family will enjoy it as well. read more

I disagree with the other review. Our family went looking for a deal on mini golf because it's all expensive in MB. The cashier accepted a competitors coupon and my kids both played for under $10! Place overall looked clean to us. A simple choice of two courses. Maybe not all the bling as the main strip places but my kids didn't seem to mind! read more

Challenging and fun course, however they have people walking around to take your group's picture for a $$ opportunity. Overall nice well lit course with a nice price of $9 per adult!! read more

We've been coming to Gillian's island for putt putt for years. I was extremely disappointed this time around. When we arrived- Tony, the man behind the desk, couldn't have been more rude. He was only interested in taking our money. The couple behind us asked what time they close and he said, "as soon as I can". Our kids were excited to be there and a very unhappy clerk started our experience off bad. The course is old and unkempt. We will not be back. read more

I grew up along the Grand Strand and this mini golf course used to be one of the best on the south end. It is sad to see what has happened. Not only are their prices extremely expensive with no kid's pricing, they are always rude and grumpy the last 2 times we have gone. It was so bad this time, we ended up leaving and going somewhere else. For a business that thrives on the tourist business, I would hope that their customer service would get better and pricing more reasonable or I'm afraid they will be out of business soon. We ended up going to Inlet Adventure Island right done the road across from TGIFridays and had a great experience and their pricing was much more reasonable. read more

This place was great! The guys at the counter had so much patience with our large group & were friendly! We plan on making this our go to putt putt place in the future! read more

Our family went their on vacation. The older woman who works their is very nice. NEVER go when the old grumpy man is there (usually at night). He seems mad at the world and should not be working at a place that has the word Fun in it. The course is actually not too bad, however, could use some renovations. The old man needs to find another job! read more

Came here on vacation. The man behind the counter asked a customer to change toilet paper themselves. Course is NOT little kid friendly-dangerous in spots. read more

Do not play here after a recent rain. We went a couple of hours after it rained and there was no drainage or effort to help dry up the courses or walkways. We couldn't even play one of the holes because half of the green where the hole is was under water. A few of the starting points were under water as well as parts of the greens. Everything was saturated with water. The balls did not roll well with the amount of water on the greens. It was dangerous to walk to one of the holes because the walkway was a few inches under water and we had to reroute our steps over the rocks to get to the green. We have played courses after rain and have never had this much of a problem. What would have been nice was if the man at the front would have explained that the course was not suitable to play with that much water standing. We paid full price and it was miserable to walk through the course. My 6 year old son also asked a simple question about where the balls go after the 18th hole and the man's short response and eye rolling was totally unnecessary. Thankfully my son didn't notice his poor attitude. We visit the area frequently and play miniature golf every day. We will not go back. read more
