This has definite street appeal! Our plans for the day did not include a Pirate themed mini-golf experience, and yet, here we are. We were drawn in just before a sunset halfway to a Bob Ross painting in purples and pinks. Art? Check. Hanging shark? Check. Well groomed and lush jungle floral vibes? Check. Brightly colored balls and slick greens? Check. A warning about the number of stairs? Nopity nope nope. We went up stairs, next to waterfalls, behind waterfalls, up to caves and then down again. Some of the stairs were easy built stairs but some were cut stone and without safety rails. Some had loose rope as the only balance support. It's assuredly the best cardiovascular workout I have ever been challenged to perform on a putt-putt course. So if you need a cane to walk safely, bring it with you! If you have little kids expect to not use a stroller and help them or carry them up and down. The price was totally reasonable and unlike many courses, it was fun and designed to be playable, and while we didn't come close to famed Tommy's best score of 28, we all had a great time shooting par 2s and 3s. And a completion prize of pirate themed tattoos? Far out! This place definitely brings the *Arr* to your pirate adventures! read more

Such a fun place! Our kids loved it. The owner George was so kind to our family! We will come back here every time we are in the area.

My family is PASSIONATE about Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf. Seriously, this is the absolute coolest mini-golf spot you'll ever visit. The course is built throughout huge natural elements - trees, hills, streams, etc. There's also a big man-made waterfall and cave that you play through. The pirate theme is a blast too. There's a real, interesting pirate fact at each hole and tons of funny pirate mannequins and fun props throughout. Each hole has a funky, creative bit, so the game never ever gets dull. We love going late at night when it's cool and there are less people. It's well-lit and you win a prize if you get a hole-in-one on the last hole. Definitely visit! read more

Family had a great time. Staff was really nice. Course was fun. Flowers were beautiful. Will return and recommend.

Really great fun and well worth the trip out The grounds are superbly kept, making it a really fun experience for the family. The holes are really fun and each hole is different from the last and makes it perfect for the family as there are no insanely difficult holes, so no matter what you leave feeling as though the course was hard enough to feel good about your game. haha read more

What a great time to spend with our family during our vacation. We are miniature golf aficionados, having been to dozens of courses - and we were pleasantly surprised with the course. We played 18 holes, and each hole was unique. Holes included unique elevation, one hole in a cave, and even a few holes where you need to take a chance (not seeing the final hole). Being pros, we played with our own "mischief", where we randomly started each hole with a handicap, such as using only one hand or one leg, or using the wrong end of the club. We loved the decor and took a lot of photos. We had a great time! read more

Fun course! A good mix of easy and challenging. I love themed putt putt golf so this was a nice find on our vacation! read more

So much fun! We played a round on 7/14/19 w/ our toddler. They'll give you a plastic putter for the little ones that aren't old enough to play. The course is well maintained. It's rugged so no wheelchairs or strollers. I'm bummed I haven't played at one of their courses until now- they have plenty of locations. The 2 girls at the front entrance were friendly. I highly recommend playing a round! read more

This golf course was gorgeous. The flowers were numerous and fragrant. All the decor was realistic and very well taken care of. Staff was friendly. Course was clean. I am still amazed by how many flower beds and baskets there were. Best course I have ever been too read more

This place has character and is really fun for kids. We were visiting in the area and it was a good break from the site seeing. Took lots of fun pictures with pirates and enjoyed an hour of mini golf. It was a bit pricey but hey, we were on vacation. Worth it! read more

On our vacation north with our grandson we passed this on the way and he insisted on stopping on the way home. It was a incredible course! The staff is friendly, course was in good shape and very clean. I would recommend this place!' read more

We had a great time here. We took my 4 & 6 yo nieces mini golfing on their visit this was their first time mini golfing and they loved it... we all always live it. And at the end the kids got a pirate treat bag. It was super fun! read more

Creative, well kept, and fun. I especially enjoyed the pirate history at each hole. We had a great time and enjoyed the course

This is this nicest mini golf course! We had a great time. 3 adults and 1 child = $33. The greens were freshly replaced, which was a treat (there was actually a dumpster in the parking lot filled with AstroTurf so it was really new!) The landscaping is pretty and the grounds are clean. The holes had a nice variety of obstacles. There's a little bit of climbing up and down to navigate thru the course. Waterfalls, a cave, Pirates, bridges ... what more could you ask for!? Definitely a fun way to spend an hour or so. At the end they gave my son a goodie bag which he enjoyed. Staff was friendly too. No complaints here!! read more

This is truly the best kept and most beautiful landscaped mini golf course I've ever been to. Caution for those in wheel chair or with disability: plenty of stairs and uneven surfaces (which is part of what makes it such an awesome course!)! read more

My wife's family has been coming to this area for vacation for a long time, and this mini golf place is somewhat of a tradition. Everyone enjoyed the course. It is well maintained, challenging, and a lot of fun. Not really a "con" of the course, but it is close to a fairly busy road, and some of the holes close to the road had a fair bit of traffic noise. I would recommend this for mini golfers of all ages. read more

This place is really cute. Right when we walked in to get tickets, we were greeted with very friendly staff. The golf course is very clean and well maintained and was full of tricky (but enjoyable) holes with a pirate theme. Super fun for the kiddos and adults. This is a great place to stop if you are visiting Petoskey. read more

The best putt putt we have played! And we have played a lot of putt putt. Certainly the best Pirates Cove we have been to. Great green, good shape, interesting challenges, beautiful grounds, flowers, foliage, fun facts on pirates, clean, neat and fun! read more

What a fun place! We've done putt-putt before, but it's never been this fun! Staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly, and we had great conversation with them both before and after. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for some great weekend fun! read more

Now lets make it clear that im no goffer. I never been good at goff and that not my only issue. You see the main problim I have here is the "miniture" goff. To me that seems a little too much like the word minish, and we all know what that means. It means those obsessed ex girlfrineds at LOTB aka those innahnet avengahs are talking about a certain thing again. I wish they'd just let it go. Just walk away boys. Stop makin your little minish memes and revenge porn. All I want is to play a game of goff. I almost feel like Tigger Wood when im goffing, but im really havin a hard time getting past the minish name. Over alls I like this place and would appreciate it if their was a better selection of snaks like deep fry butter logs. read more

Everyone goes here at least once, heh. I actually remember going here one summer before my parents even had an inkling that we'd end up moving up to P-town and it's fun to take visitors. Like most mini-golf places, it's kitschy. The pirate thing is kind of cute, but I remember it being AWESOME when I was a little kid. I'm pretty sure it's the only mini-golf in town, minus "The Jungle" (connected to Big Boy on the way into town), but I wouldn't hit up The Jungle unless it was 100 degrees out or your kids are scared of pirates. read more

Awesome mini golf course! Challenging holes and great scenery to see as you played. My two kids (ages 4 and 7) loved getting a goodie bag at the end complete with pirate things like an eye patch, a hat, tattoo, ring, and a cool flag. Will definitely be back! read more

Had a great time here! It is wonderfully decorated and cared for with amazing floral landscaping as well. Have been to many mini-golf courses and this has to be one of the nicest as we often find them not very well kept. Kudos to those who keep it looking so wonderful! read more

Hours are 12-8 in the Fall on Thursday and Friday. 10-8 on Saturday and Sunday! Thru the second week of October!

Loved this course. Great landscape and waterfall. The cave was fun! Make sure to look inside the prisoner cell in the cave! Had lots of laughs playing this course with my teenage son and his friend. read more

Very fun putt putt! All staff were wearing masks, sanitizer set out throughout, lots of clever social distancing signs! Everyone, even the customers were masked and/or keeping their 6 feet. We had a great time! Not stroller friendly. read more

We come up to Walloon lake every year, and we always make sure to hit up Pirate's Cove AT LEAST once while where here each year. I'm not sure if they changed ownership or management, but this last time the service was like ridiculously nice. It's always fun, but now all of the staff is super friendly too. Awesome experience. read more

A great place to come and chill out and have fun with the family. And take great pictures with the props!

Loved our outing at Pirate's Cove. My husband and I had a great time. The landscaping is gorgeous!! I won with # of holes in one, he beat me on strokes My 3 year old had a blast too! She played with one of The Cove's toddler putters. At the end she was awarded some pirate goodies: a bag with an eye patch, tattoo, and ring, a pirate flag, and a cool hat! If you are thinking of going, I highly recommend it! read more

My daughter and I always have a blast here. The site is wonderful designed and the theme is well thought out. The prices a fair but could get expensive for a group with members over the age of 12. Fun family adventure or date night. read more

The "Cove" is becoming a staple when I visit Harbor Springs. It's only a 5 minute drive and is a quick and fun activity. Lucky for us, the last visit wasn't a crowded one and we were in and out fairly quick. The place is in good shape and isn't run down or getting torn up. It's fun and not ridiculously difficult (which wouldn't be fun for the younger crowd). read more

This is the best mini golf course our family has ever played. It was so clean and beautifully landscaped. The staff was friendly and personable. We enjoyed it so much! Thank you for a great experience! read more

I've been coming to Pirate's Cove since I was a child and it's awesome! The course is well-planned--waterfalls, bridges, and tricky shots--lots of fun for the entire family. I sure love this place and make it a destination every summer we vacation here! read more

This is a great course! We came here about 7 years ago without our kids and this trip to Michigan we brought them with us and we had to visit Pirates Cove. Well maintained course, staff is super friendly. Landscaping is beautiful. And at the ends the kids each got a party bag with a pirate hat, flag, eye patch, and tattoo! read more

Well made and maintained course; interesting and fun design; friendly service

By far the best mini golf course I've ever been too. Well maintained, the water isn't dyed, and the scenery is nice. None of the holes are torn up and they are all fun. I would highly recommend it to anyone over any other mini golf course read more

One of the greatest mini golf places ever. Super fun with the theme and all the types of holes. Prizes are given out if you get a hole in one and they spin it on their wheel. Tons of colors to choose from with clubs for all sizes. read more

Great activity for young and old. I can remember going here as a kid and loving it! Just took my children here for the first time. Fun was had by all! read more

Took our kids, 6 and 9, here while driving through Petoskey...wasn't too expensive and we all loved the fun theme...landscaping is beautiful and the course is well maintained. Would come back here again :) read more
