While driving around, we saw Cardinal Cove Mini Golf on the side of the road and decided to stop…read more We had a lot of fun. The family-run business also has an apothecary and herbal salves and some soaps and other products like honey and jelly which according to the nice daughter tending the store her mother makes everything by hand. Additionally, all throughout the golf course are the many different plants used to make all the products in the shop. They are also edible. The golf course has a lot to be desired; is kind of run down and had better days. But, everyone plays the same course and it's easy enough to get through the 18 holes. My kid and I got a unimpressive 59 and my wife had a 60. We all got a hole-in-one on at least one hole, though! The facility also has a large 30+ chicken and duck coop which you can feed, and a couple of very friendly dogs. Golf was only $15 for the three of us! The honey and jam I purchased were also reasonably priced along with the rest of the shop. The daughter running the shop is off to college this fall, so best of luck to her. Recommended for some fun times in Maine!

Nice little golf course. Friendly people. Would recommend for a friendly game. Go check it out.read more

My friend and I were pleasantly surprised at how nice this course was. Several holes provided a…read morewelcome challenge, and it is clear they put a lot of work into keeping the grounds up. The clubhouse has snacks, drinks (+beer!) for sale. It's hard to beat the value.

The course was cute and had all the fun stuff we expected to find from the pirates cove franchise. We went on a Friday morning about 30 minutes after they opened. A few groups were already playing. We moved a long at a good pace. Be aware that there are steps to climb up and down. I get around by cane and I didn't expect all the climbing.

The holes were challenging and fun but also allowed for an occasional hole in one. Water features, pirate ships, and pirate caves await you. It opens at 11am and there was a line when we arrived at 11:05am. Staff was friendly. It was a great stop.

The course also had a great pine smell, at least from where I was playing/searching most of the day. All sprinkler heads I saw (not many, see above) were yardage markers, which always helps. It's "semi-private", which means outside of high season (July 1-Aug 31), any duffer (e.g. me, maybe you) can walk on- $45 to walk, $50 to ride. Unless you want a workout, pay the $5 to ride, because it's pretty hilly. I also rented clubs- $25 and got some pretty new Titleist irons and woods (tees, ball marker and divot dig provided, have to buy balls separately). So I paid $76 to walk with clubs and a few balls- those of us coming from NYC or (I assume) Boston areas aren't going to find a better deal at home. The course wasn't crowded, I played alone, so I the round was probably about 3:40. Now, during high season, it's apparently a little different. For July and August, they told me non-members are permitted between 7-8 am and 12-1 pm, with a rate of $85 to walk, and presumably $90 to ride. But you're best to call them for specifics about times, prices, etc. Presumably the pace is slower once the crowds hit, but still, I wouldn't be upset paying $85-&90 for that course with the conditions I had. One other thing- I didn't know I'd be playing on this trip, so I didn't even have a collared golf shirt. They were cool with a decent tshirt, though I did feel underdressed, and it being semi-private, I recommend proper golf attire if you can plan for it.
