We went with the harder course out of the two options and it was excellent, everything was very well maintained and overall a super fun experience for our bigger group of people. After playing a round we went over to the batting cages which were subpar, the pitches were either coming far too high or too low, which sucked. But everything else was a lot of fun!! read more

What a fun mini golf. Lots of interesting home made decorations, which are all painted elaborately! Staff friendly and helpful. We played the more difficult course which is certainly challenging, but more experienced players might get lucky and get a few holes in one. Well maintained, no worn carpets or broken edging. Younger players should stick to the easier course. All in all a great experience. FYI there's a shave ice stand next door across the parking lot. read more

This impressively sized putt putt area sits on the west terminal of Seawall. It's a load of fun for all ages with creatively designed courses and a variety of elevations. My friends and I had very minimal exposure going in, but we found both the beginner and the challenging holes clearable in 6 strokes or less. Every hole has its own interactive theme (e.g. moving windmill, wooden ship, etc) that keeps the experience engaging. Either course (beginner or challenging) consists of 18 holes and costs the same to play -- $11 per course for ages 13 and up, +$2 if using card. I found the price well worth the enjoyment. There's also a huge batting cage in the back if that piques your interest. Try to visit on a breezier day, as the establishment (and Seawall in general) lacks shade in most areas. Not sure if the courses ever change, so the putt putt grounds may be a one-and-done type of experience. However, even for a one time event, I had quite the blast. read more

Fun and affordable! $15 per person now. I love the creativity of the place. I will recommend to go when you visit

My friends and I came to magic carpet golf a little before noon. We decided to play the "challenging course." There is no price difference btwn the courses. If you pay with cash, it's $11. If you only have card, it's about $2 more. It was a lot of fun!!! Started to get super hot 4 holes in, but there were a bunch of shaded areas throughout, which helped a bit. Since we were a big group, we split up to get through the course quicker since there were families behind us. Some of the holes took more than 5 strokes and others only took 2 or 3 haha. Going through the whole course didn't take more than an hour and a half. Even though we were sweating like crazy, we got a good laugh and a good view of the ocean!! Be sure to bring WATER. read more

Great course. We had Lots of fun. It's Across the street from the Gulf of Mexico! 2 separate courses.

$10 cash or $12 credit card per adult. Kids $2 cheaper. There's an atm there. There's 2 different courses -- fantasy or forest castle dragon. You can only choose 1. Fantasy (faces sea wall) seems more for young kids but we chose the forest dragon (towards the back) bc it has more shade and being it is july and super hot and sunny you want to consider it. There's like 20 holes and no fans. No ac. Get ready to sweat, especially when you're frustrated too at the end you get one $1 off coupon per party for sno cones next door. Sno cones are actually pretty cheap and yummy! The smallest size is big. I had the mango Mary. Yummy! read more

Cool place to visit! Mini golf right across from the water. We played the more difficult course and it was fun. Really cool obstacles. Only downside was that we went later in the evening and there were a lot of mosquitos out by a couple of the holes. The guy at the front desk let us use bug spray for free though, so that was nice! read more

Putt Putt with an ocean view. I have passed Magic Carpet on several visits to the island and can truly say this is not only a beautiful location to mini golf but also a very fun one. Cash ONLY so come prepared or be a sucker and enjoy those non ATM fees (sucker here!) As many note there are two Courses. Course 1 being easier (especially if you have little kids). 18 holes of awesome scenes; from a spring animated ostrich trying to put his head in the "hole", a giant pink conch shell, an egg laying chicken, a "ball" walk across the deck of a pirate ship, ending with hit your ball into a giant fishing eating a frog that if you hit a ringer in said frogs mouth you win a free round. Nothing appeared run down, I could see weathered but that salt watery air wreaks havoc. It kept my husband and I and two kids (4 & 8) very entertained. It's $10 bucks an adult and $7 bucks a kid under 12 I believe (don't forget that CASH ONLY part). If you Happy Gilmore your putt putt club you cough up another 10 bucks (you've been warned, its putt putt so just have friendly competition). This was definitely worth the trip for our short spring break stay on the island. read more

This putt putt golf course has 2 courses from which you can choose to play. One is easy and the other is hard. Each course consists of 18 holes and the cost for an adult to play either one is $10 (cash only). I played the harder one (Course 2) and yes it was difficult but still fun. All in all the course was in good condition and in my opinion worth the fee. Course 2 had elevation changes in it and the other course probably does to. Also, behind the complex are batting cages that charge $1 for 10 throws. I give a 3 here because the golf course is A-OK. read more

This place is so fun, and a must-visit. It is just a classic, old school miniature golf place with fun designs at each hole. You will be hot and sweaty and uncovered, so stay hydrated. We enjoyed the ocean view while we golfed. Afterward, we had snow cones from a truck by the parking lot. read more

Magic Carpet is the BEST mini golf course we've played so far! My husband and I have picked up mini golf as we travel to new places. I'd say we're fairly seasoned and can say with confidence that this was our favorite course yet. We came to Galveston on a whim for a beachside dinner to celebrate his birthday. As we were cruising up and down the seawall, we noticed this course. We were a little disappointed to see it was cash only, but luckily I had $20 which was just enough for us both to play. We later noticed they also had an ATM, so if you're comfortable with that and cashless, you'll still have a chance to play. The cost is $10 per adult which other reviews have mentioned being steep, but we felt it was well worth it. You are given a choice between two 18 hole courses, one being "hard" and one being "easy". As seasoned mini golfers like I previously mentioned, we chose to go the difficult course route. It was so much fun! Unlike most courses we've played, this one actually had fun moving elements and challenges to it. There were a decent amount of hills, slopes, and moving parts on the individual holes. At the end of the course at the last hole you can also win a free game if you can land the ball in the dragon's mouth! The thing I like best about this course is that it can be fun no matter what age you are. We saw families with children of all ages, an elderly couple by themselves, and several couples around our age. read more

Went the "easy" one but it was still pretty fun even for adults. They're usually like some metal blocks and that's the whole course, but this one had some fun twists like a turtle with a surprise, pirate ship, conch shell, chicken butt ones that were our favorites. I would come back. The kids had alot of fun. Cash is better price than credit as a tip in case u didn't read the various other reviews that say cash only. read more

Love this course! Not only does it have the best views ever, each hole is unique and well manicured. We can't come to Galveston without playing a round here. read more

Cute golf course right at the seawall. Some holes are more challenging than they look. Be ready however they are cash only! There is an ATM onsite if you need one. There are two sides, you choose one for $10 per adult. read more

One of the better mini golf courses we have been to for sure! Such fun course layout and hazards. You will definitely want to do both sides which brings me to the downside. The price is quite high and I felt like they should offer some sort of deal if you say ahead that you want to do both. I will say though the location and parking is awesome and so it was worth the $34 for me and my son to play here. We ended up needing to kill time while on a fog delay to board our cruise ship ( you can see the pea soup in the background of one of my pics!) and this was the perfect thing to do to pass time as we waited for the boat to come in. Be aware that it is cash only! read more

Excellent course! I did the easy side with my elementary school age kids and the 18 holes was a full evening's entertainment. It was definitely worth the price of admission. We went after dinner, so the sun had set and bellies were full - although there is a shaved ice cart adjacent. read more

I absolutely loved this place. We came here on a whim and we enjoyed it! It was my first time mini golfing so I didn't really know. We did the easier one, great views of the beach and water and it was enjoyable. Each one was really cool. It was very interactive. It's a great activity especially when it gets cooler. read more

Fun course for teens and adults alike! We chose the jungle course/harder course. Wouldn't recommend this course if you have little ones but our teens had a blast. read more

We were celebrating my youngest son this week, and he wanted to go play mini golf. We've been here before in the summertime and it was unbearably hot, and my wife was a little worried because it was a little on the cool side and windy, but it was once again, an enjoyable experience. Upon arrival you'll see the prices upfront and they do charge a little bit more if you're going to use the card rather than cash. There is an ATM machine there that charges 6% of the amount that you want to pull out so we just paid the difference instead of pulling the cash. there's two courses to choose from the harder course is in the back which does provide some more shade. I remember correctly the last time we were there that's where we played because we wanted to be with her with some more shade. There are some good views out front because you're on the golf side and although it was windy and cool, if you go with a brisk enough pace, we were fine. The course is obviously a little dated, but still enjoyable, and a good amount of challenge on each of the holes. you get a scorecard and a pencil if you'd like, and when you return your putters, they give you a coupon for a dollar off for the snowcone food truck that's just off of the parking lot. Speaking of which there is parking along the seawall and depending on the time of day, you'll pay for that, or you can park in the parking lot for free. There are also some batting cages behind the mini golf, although we've never use those so I can speak to those those if they are even operational. read more

I remember coming here as a little kid and I was honestly shocked to see it in such good condition after all these years. Still one of my favorite putt putt courses to date! It was so fun to come back and play 20ish years later. It was crazy crazy hot the day we went but lots of good shaded areas to try and keep cool. Two different courses but you can't go wrong with either one!! Definitely a must for a family activity or date night! read more

Such a great and fun place. Definitely a place to go for date night. This particular night was beautiful, warm and smell of the ocean was so clean. I have always enjoyed mini golf and Magic Carpet has two courses for your enjoyment. Good price point. $20 per person and per course. Friendly staff and the grounds are very well kept. Had such a fun time. I will be back soon. read more

Super fun mini golf place. It offered two options 1. Easy course younger kids and beginner adults 2. Hard course for better players. Well maintained and a beautiful view the the ocean and inlet. Customer service was excellent and very friendly. Reasonable prices and nice clubs. The courses were well maintained and fun. My husband and son also did the batting cages and it was also reasonably and You purchased tokens. You can also purchase water and snacks at this location. read more

Fun and lovingly decorated place. Priced accordingly. I paid $56 for one adult and two kids for both courses. No facilities on site and the easier course is very exposed to the sun while the more challenging course offers plenty of shade. read more

Cute mini golf on the seawall. We played the jungle course in the back because the seaside course looked pretty crowded. The holes were very creative and quite challenging! Some parts seem a little rundown, but we had a lot of fun as a family. Definitely worth checking out for something to do that doesn't break the bank. read more

Fun place to play and kill some time, kids enjoyed it! Really nice view from the east course

A fun course for kids and families. Needs lots of maintenance. Straight out of the 1960s. No concessions. Back course has more shade. Front course will melt your flip flops. read more

Cash only with ATM on site. Two courses- an easier one and a more difficult one. Both very fun, clean and colorful. Go next door and grab a snow cone after playing. read more

You also get a $1.00 off the snow cones card located on the property! It's cash only $10 a person which is reasonable for the 18 holes! read more

Fun place. Definitely worth taking the family but make sure your kiddos behave! You'll understand if you go... every ten feet the owners put up a sign that says "stay off the grass," "slow down," "no touching," do not run," don't go there!" read more

If only patrons would be masked this would be a five star review. I get it though. Texas...outside....and other lame excuses. Other than that, this cute mini golf sits right off the Seawall overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Good date place or a fun game night with friends. Plenty of parking that wraps around near batting cages. Turn in your golf club with attendant, and receive a WHOLE $1 off the neighbor snow-cone truck. Only one though for a group of 4. Lol! read more

This was a fun evening activity. Price was very fair. There are two different difficulty paths to choose from. We enjoyed all the fantastic beasts on the harder route. The greens and paths were really tidy. Lots of fresh paint for the beginning of the season. Would definitely return. One tip- there is a substantial discount to pay in cash, so come repaired! read more

My boyfriend and I love this place! We love to bar hop on the island and then get some putt putt in, it is so much fun! There are 2 different courses , one in the back and one right on the seawall , so when you're playing you gave the ocean breeze and the view of the gulf , it's awesome. They also have batting cages in the back! read more

This was great! This is what putt-putt USED to be! Looking for a change of pace from the beach and high-priced restaurants? You came to the right place. The cost was $10 per person when we went, which may seem a little steep, but the novelty was worth it and it gave us a good diversion for over an hour. We went on the back course (away from the sea wall side), and there were holes with moving obstacles, traps, tubes, etc., exactly the things that made putt-putt so interesting 40 years ago. We had a lot of fun, and we'd probably come back to play on the other course next time we're in Galveston. read more

We had a great time at Magic Carpet Golf. In my opinion it's a little overpriced-$10 for adults and $7for kids(cash only by the way but there is an atm). We played the front course and really enjoyed all the old-school features. A lot of reviews have mentioned the course being extremely rundown, I'm not sure if it's been repaired lately but we did not feel like it was that bad at all for a beach putt putt course. It's def worth a stop! read more

Loved this mini golf course and the fact that they were open at 9:00am! It was going to be a really hot day so going in the morning was preferable for us! The staff member was very friendly. There are 2 courses to choose from--an easy or difficult course. We did the difficult course. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is that we would have liked to have done both courses with a reduced special price instead of paying full price for both. read more

nice place for young families, $12.95 /head. A bit pricey, but still the course was nostalgic as it looked like it had been recently painted, ornaments from the 60s , I could imagine young couples wearing plaid and muscle cars from the distant past. read more

My family and I arrived at about 7:45 PM (right before the rush). We played the front course and were able to enjoy the view of the ocean, a really nice breeze and the sunset. read more
