This was a very fun course! It was challenging enough to not be boring, but easy enough that we all enjoyed it. It was well-maintained too.

Super fun experience! We went with a group of 5 with another keeping score. We had so much fun on the golf course and we loved the Pirate theme, large animals, water features, and caves. Almost all of us got at least one hole in one, and we loved going at night since it was all lit up. It wasn't very busy so we didn't feel too rushed. There's a large candy shop, ice cream shop, gift shop, and arcade there as well and it was in walking distance from both our beach house and the beach itself. Prices were reasonable $12 per adult, $10.50 per child. read more

We give Black Pearl Mini Golf 5 Stars and here's why. We've driven by Black Pearl Mini Golf probably a thousand times because we really like the area. We would say "we gotta try them when the family comes around". Well we finally had our son and granddaughter join us for an afternoon of mini golf. Upon entering the main candy shop/arcade to get clubs, Dan greeted us and explained the layout. Pretty simple and straightforward. By the way, the whole place is spotless, I mean REALLY CLEAN. Started our game and again notice how clean/updated the whole course was. Some holes are more challenging than others. Overall, we had a great family experience making memories. You have lots of choices for mini golf, the Black Pearl Mini Golf should be right up there to make your memories. Thanks again to a very nice attentive staff. Very friendly and helpful. We'll be back. read more

My family came here for mini golf on a super hot, over 90 degree day... and had an amazing time. There are a few reasons for this: 1. There's a bench with an umbrella at every hole! This was unexpected but definitely came in handy when we got tired or super hot from being outside in the heat. 2. There's an arcade inside. Once the kiddos got hot and tired, we were able to go inside and play a few games! This meant that we able to extend our fun even though we were done with the mini golf. The best thing about this is there's something for everyone. Somehow the setup is way more than meets the eye. There were way more holes than I expected in mini golf and so many more arcade games that kept both my 2 year olds and teenager busy. Highly recommend! read more

We had a great time at this mini-golf course. It's your traditional vacation mini-golf with different types of holes with a variety of hazards and obstacles. The course has a pirate ship that actually has a hole that you play on the ship. The course is well-manicured with a variety of plants. We enjoyed the game. The building where you pay also houses an amazing candy shop and arcade. Also on the property is a cute ice cream shop. read more

What a fun day! We had family in town and we enjoyed the simple activity and spending time with each other. The course was fun and filled with adventures. My children loved the decor- who doesn't love a pirate giraffe? The cost was very reasonable- $11 for an adult is great! This could easily be a great date night as well. The course was clean, well maintained and we visited a two weeks after a hurricane. read more

Nice fun course, a big candy store, and lots of ice cream options all in one place. The course was a lot of fun and nicely kept.

This mini golf course used to be an eyesore, but it's so nice now! It's really well maintained, as is the store/arcade. All of us really enjoyed the 18 holes and one of them had a little challenge wheel that made things even more fun. I will note that some of the steps are uneven, so little ones or anyone with mobility issues may have trouble. read more

Best place for mini golf and ice cream in town! Clean. Friendly. Friendly staff. We will be back!

This place was absolutely amazing! The manager Shannon was so much fun and she was so nice to my kids. The miniature golf course itself was so cool the whole place and everything was really really clean. That part might be weird but after being stationed in Japan that's a big deal to me! Just a really great time!! read more

Family went with ages 5 to 73. Great course. We have done many in the area and all agreed that this is one of the best

Love this place! Been coming for years and the new changes/additions have really picked this place up. Everything is really nice and new now. read more

We absolutely love this place! Especially one of the employees Ashlyn! She is always so sweet and friendly with the biggest smile on her face! She remembers customers and makes you feel so special! Our son absolutely adores her! We continue to come back specifically to see her! Amazing customer service and so fun! read more

We came to NMB for a quick family getaway and loved our visit to Black Pearl. Mini golf was great and Shannon was fabulous and responsive in the ice cream shop! read more

Went on Saturday around 3! No line or wait to play mini golf! The staff was very friendly and everyone who wasn't busy was cleaning- very Covid friendly! There is not much of a Arcade at all if your looking for games prob. Not a go to place....but golf The course is fun overall. The greens where a bit beat up and uneven...also the walk in some areas is a bit uneven and could prove to be a issue for older/young players! But that is All very well marked! The ice cream was a huge hit! The kid Sunday was about 4$ and well worth it! The ice cream shop was clean, inviting and fresh! Over all we would come back! read more

There's a reason this place is named The Black Pearl, like this ship their customer service sunk long ago. They were rude, no way to make Togo ice cream order, after I said it was togo. Don't go down with the ship, go somewhere else! read more

This mini golf course is so fun! The holes are interesting and reasonably challenging. The staff here is amazing! The premises is clean and they are taking great care during covid. Loads of candy, video games, and ice cream here, too! And they're open late, which makes for a great way to have family fun well into the night at the beach! read more

My family's favorite spot to putt-putt, play a few arcade games, and get a cone of ice cream. We always play earlier in the afternoon/ evening. During peak season, this place gets really crowded around 8pm. Always clean!!!!! Extremely family friendly!!!! read more

The course was very nice and me and my three other best buds enjoyed it a ton, but the people in front of us, oh man let me tell you. Our party had four of us and the group ahead of us had 8. Think they would let us play through ? No shot. I don't know where they're from but they obviously haven't been put putting for nearly as long as us (1999 national champ). Playing Through: When you let the group behind you play the hole you're on so they don't have to wait for you to be done. So frustrated right now read more

The course is poorly maintained and the customer service was lackluster. In a town full of putt-putts, go somewhere else.

Worth driving towards north Myrtle to place other courses that have better decorations, hole layout, and maintenance.

What a great place. Shannon and Ashley were welcoming and fun. If you come to Myrtle beach you must stop by here.

I have been to so many putt-putt places at Myrtle Beach and they honestly are all pretty similar. Unfortunately, this place has obviously changed hands a few times, and has seriously suffered for it. First of all, its not handicapped (stroller) accessible--which is reasonable if you post signs saying such. We made it work, but we probably would've used the carrier for my nephew instead if we would've known the stroller was going up and down steps. Second, all of the areas of the greens around the holes need to be redone. Every one of them has a 3 foot circle around the hole that is weirdly banked, like the concrete hasn't been laid flat. General maintenance has suffered as well. Most of the greens do not have a tee off mat. One hole is at the bottom of a ramp and you can see that water runs down and pools into the entire area near the hole. The hole itself was completely filled with water. My brother joked "2 strokes and a free ball wash", when calling out his score. There are also several holes that the bottom is either busted out or the grate is missing. You could barely tap the ball and if it hit the aide of the cup just right it would bounce right back out (not from overkill!) Or you would find yourself digging your ball out of the dirt that was under the hole. Also, I have never experienced a mosquito issue quite like this at a putt-putt course. (And I have played many, many times in several states) I'm not sure if it is because of the pooling water or if they just don't ever spray. We pretty much had to swaddle my nephew in a muslin blanket in 85 degree weather for protection while the rest of us swatted and scratched ourselves. There are also some strange decor choices that don't really affect the play, but I'd say painting a giraffe black with little pirate decals does not turn it from safari to pirate themed. The arcade was plentiful with choices on the inside, though they don't appear to get much play. Not the worst course I've ever played, but I wouldn't choose to go back. read more

The Black Pearl used to have the best arcade in Myrtle Beach. We would go every single night as a family and spend a lot of money their, and it was always packed. As we pulled in, the place was dead with plenty of parking space. When we walked in we were distraught, the arcade was taken over by a candy shop. There is a SMIDGEN of the shop that is an "arcade" there are maybe 10 machines. There is a candy shop EVERY SINGLE CORNER OF MYRTLE. Black Pearl, you killed a family classic. You killed a family tradition and something that people look forward to every year when going to the beach. You killed my childhood, and you killed the nostalgia, and the BEST arcade in Myrtle. read more

This review is more solely for the arcade, but we came here during our vacation on 5/5/2016. My dad and his friend went to play some mini golf while I lurked around for some arcade action. Staff was pretty friendly. A manager greeted me with heart when the arcade was nearly empty. However, I asked a female cashier if they have wi-fi, and she said that she wasn't allowed to give out her password. Why? I don't want to suck up my phone data. :P The arcade, however, is not my favorite one in the MB area. A good bit of the games don't work properly, and get this: most of the old racing games from the '90s still cost $1 to play (in quarters, not tokens). $1 to play Daytona USA (from 1994), and $1.50 to play Sega NASCAR (from 2000). There are also a few pinball machines: Terminator 3 (Stern), Dr. Who (Bally) and No Fear (Williams); they're all in average condition. I don't think it's a bad place to go play golf at all; the courses look beautiful and inviting. But as for the arcade, you'd be doing yourself a favor at other arcades. read more

Great place to take the kids!! Plenty of room for golfing and an arcade to play in afterward!!

Honestly this place is amazing. The ice cream is amazing and the staff are super friendly. Huge store you can get things in and an arcade, on top of putt putt! Best coarse around by far. Highly recommend. read more

It looked really fun but my son and husband was not able to play mini golf it was too packed and such a long wait!!!! A wait line! Anyways they left and tried another place. But maybe some other time we will try this place because it appeared cool and fun. Next time we come back to Myrtle Beach we are heading home to Massachusetts read more

We love going to The Black Pearl! It's a yearly tradition for us. They have renovated the inside and it looks great! The ice cream is fresh and delicious!! You definitely need to stop by there if you are in the NMB area. Everyone there is so friendly!! read more

My family really enjoyed this course! The holes were very fun, and the decor made the course really beautiful and fun! Except for the heat during our game, this was probably the best one we've been to yet! We also really enjoyed the ice cream right next door so we could get ice cream after the game! I regret not bringing any change so I could play some of the arcade games too! read more

I'm not a miniature golf afficianado or anything, but this is the best place my family has played in the area. It's a little off the beaten path on Highway 17, so doesn't seem to me to be as crowded as some of the others. The quality of the course is good, and my young kids enjoy the animal statues and the pirate ship. We played last winter, and several of the holes needed repair, but this seems to have now been completed. A bonus is the game arcade inside the clubhouse - great for young kids to blow some of mom and dad's money, and to cool off after being out on the course. read more

Cash only and rude, unhelpful employees if you dont have cash. Turned out there was an ATM just outside the entrance but didnt notice that until i had gone back to the apartment and back. Lots of fun gone here for years, great for the kids. $7.50 for all day play until 6pm read more

This place has its pros and cons. They kindly accept cash and travelers' checks, yes travelers' checks still exist, so don't bother bringing plastic. The holes are somewhat interesting, and the fish stench and burnt-out lighting make it nice and challenging. And there's some real local flavor ("You get away from dem ducks or Ima show those folks what real parentin' is!" said the kind mother in the foursome behind us). A fun, dated arcade awaits after a solid 18, as well as an ice-cream stand. Overall, it was actually pretty fun, but come prepared. read more

My friend and I took the time to wander over to this mini golf/arcade and paid for an hour of mini golf and a few arcade games. The course was poor at best due to poorly maintained carpet, etc. They even had the nerve to have our cars towed as we left them in the parking spaces next to my friends' condo when there were no other cars in the lot. Poor business decision and ended up in a frustrating next day for us. So, needless to say several reasons we won't be going back. Good luck to anyone who takes their chance with this place. read more

I joined Yelp specifically to write this review and reviews of other miniature golf courses in Myrtle Beach, where I'm on vacation for the first time. I am an avid mini-golfer, having played now in 20 different states. Black Pearl could be so much better than it is. It has some challenging holes and some whimsical ones, and the challenge level was just right for a family-- my 10-year-old liked it. Honestly, the biggest issue is the condition of the course. Several of the greens are very dirty and frayed. One hole had a painted zebra which was badly weathered and chipping, showing multiple layers of paint with mismatched stripes. One hole was full of dirty water. One hole was a drain that only held the ball because someone (I presume an employee) had crammed a scrunched-up empty Mountain Dew bottle in the bottom of the hole. The pirate ship interior, which houses the 12th hole, is covered in graffiti and has lots of spider webs (not part of the decor). There is a lot of debris. The arcade looks nice and there is an ice cream parlor, so the other amenities seem better taken care of. They have clearly just let the miniature golf course go, though. read more
