We had the best time at this putt putt course with our two small children, ages 4 & 1! They loved the dinosaurs, waterfalls and caves! It wasn't crowded when we arrived at 5:30 which was perfect for how slow our gals were playing. The course needs a bit of upkeep, which is the reason for my one star deduction, but that really didn't matter much to us. Some of the greens were tattered and a few loose bricks etc. It is cash only but they have an ATM on site! The holes weren't too challenging either which was a plus with kids. They even have a cute little putter for the smallest kids! Of all the courses we have been to, this one is the one to get the bang for your buck if you have small kiddos! read more

This was a horrible course. It is not kept well and poorly managed. I would not recommend. They are much better courses in the area.

Welllll... Let's just say, it's seen better days. For the price, they should invest in some updates/maintenance. The course was easy, but that's ok with kiddos. Maybe cruise on down the road when you're thinking mini golf... read more

Bottom Line: Cash only and definitely worn but a good price and not crowded. My nephews are miniature golf fanatics and when it comes to putt putt at the Outer Banks they really like Jurassic Putt because there are two courses and it's never crowded. The course is really dilapidated - wrinkled turf, loose bricks, concrete falling off the rebar at the caves and dinosaurs that are missing chunks. But, my nephews don't seem to mind and one of them even pointed out one of stegosaurus' bony plates being in the bushes. Funny. The draw for Jurassic Putt for me is that during the day we you can play both 18 hole courses for $10 total. Five dollars for 18 holes of golf is a great deal. There is a little bit of shade at this course but mostly inside a few caves and in the shade of a few trees. This course is cash only but they do have an ATM. read more

The greens and area around needs updated. Mosquitoes were really bad. There was nothing interesting at any holes except the cave. The water features were pretty, but did not make up for the lack of other things. read more

Honestly, pretty much what I expected. Cost wasn't horrible considering it's in a tourist destination and the course was ok. If you are staying close by like we are or were then it's not bad to get the kids out of the house for a couple hours. read more

Jurassic Putt - Mini Golf Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

Amazing put put golfing. Had a great time with the family. A little dated, but it was so much fun. The course is challenging and set up well. read more

Cash only ! Easy to navigate to get the putters and balls. Lady working the booth wasn't the friendliest but given the simplicity of the operation I totally understand. The family got together and had a great time!! The dinosaurs and landscape could use a little updating, especially the "grass" areas where you putt. The courses are pretty cool. Perfect for all ages :) read more

The course is basic and well laid out. There are parts of the non playing surface that are in obvious need of repair. Also, some of the trash was overflowing on the course despite being a quiet weekday. read more

Sign and website both stated they were open til 11. Our group arrived at 9 and waited a few minutes for the remainder of our group to arrive. At 9:15 we walked up the ramp only to be told we didn't have enough time to get our round of golf in before closing and that we weren't allowed to start. The kids were so excited for the dinosaurs so it wasn't much fun telling them we couldn't do it. We'll be going elsewhere to mini golf from here on out. 1 star because I had to choose or I'd have picked none. read more

Tourist trap. Its cash only which is weird but if course they conveniently have an ATM right by their window. Its 9 dollars to play one side of the small course. None of it is really challenging or fun. It's just a basic putting green with a few corners in it. It's under maintained. The turf is wrinkled in many places. Weeds growing everywhere. read more

A good time but the specials that are are the standard rate. Several spots on the TREX course has the green warped up and the concrete dinosaurs are really showing age. Played this course years ago but I am assuming the weather mixed with normal wear from use it starting to take its toll. Still a good time with the family and if your kids enjoy dinosaurs then this is a ok place to go. Hopefully the owners will invest to get it back up to PAR. read more

Loved the Dino theme! It was super fun because along the course were signs telling what many of the Dino statues were and facts about them such as height and weight. I enjoyed this course and it's a different theme than many other courses in the OBX area (they're all pirate theme). read more

This is such a fun 36-hole putt putt course! We got the unlimited plays bracelet before 5pm for $10/person, so we played both of the courses (Raptor and T-Rex). Quite frankly, a steal at this price. The only thing keeping this from a 5-star experience is the course and grounds do show their age, and could do good from a little TLC to put some life back into the property. read more

This was a great course it was also the cheapest I would come here anytime I wanted to play mini golf it was fun course was nice courses they were like real courses kinda on the put greens read more

I gave this two stars because there were giant papier-mache dinosaurs. You can't HATE that. Feel free to hate everything else. Putt-putt for $7 a game sounds a little absurd wherever you go. But look past the dinosaurs and you begin to realize that almost every putting green is exactly the same. Personally, I like to mix my putt up a bit, live on the edge. Luckily, we glanced around first before wasting our well-earned $14 to play what surely would have been a pitiful game for two. Instead we took our cash and went literally 20 seconds up the street to Blackbeard's Golf and Arcade. Better greens for less green to satisfy the picky putter in you. read more

This place has been around a very long time and it shows. Many of the dinosaurs are completely gone or destroyed nowadays. The courses are uninspired and just not good. I really think they need to make some effort to bring this up to "par" with other courses in the area. ;) read more

Pros: - The course is clean and well-kept. Nothing was broken or out of place. - The holes are relatively easy, so this is a good place to play with young children. All the holes are par 2, so nothing is overly tricky. - There were no problems with mosquitos, a common issue with many other mini-golf courses. Cons: - It's a cash-only business, which is not very traveller-friendly, in my opinion. Any business that caters to tourists should take credit or debit. - Although the simplicity of the holes makes it easy for kids, it was rather uninteresting for me as a grown-up. A better balance of easy and hard would have made it more fun for everyone. - Mini-golf courses should have some interesting things to look at. Although there are some large models of dinosaurs, there was not much else going for it. Overall: A decent place to take the kids mini-golfing. Just don't expect the adult handlers to have as good of a time as the little ones. read more

If you don't mind shelling out $8 for a game when a short drive north will provide you with more options at $5 a game, then this place is ideal for you. The holes were very boring to put it bluntly. There are some mildly attractive scenery but upon closer inspection most of the dinos are in disrepair. The gardens were well kept, but that's not what I paid to see. You'd be better to drive up the strip towards kitty hawk to one of the 4 other mini golf locations which are better kept, more interesting and cost less. read more

It was fun, but not the most fun I've ever had mini-golfing. They offer 36 holes, broken up into two 18-hole courses, and before 5PM you can play both for the price of one. But in 95 degree heat, it's just too much. The course is very basic. There aren't many fun obstacles or challenges, just redundant curved greens. There are some waterfalls, and holes in caves though, which can be fun for little kids. The course itself is well-maintained, but the decorations could use some updating. If you are looking for basic mini-golf, this is a good place, but I would recommend Mutiny Bay Adventure Golf (which I also reviewed). read more

Our first time at this putt putt, and we had a pleasant experience. I do think it's one of the older and more run down parks, the kids got bored halfway through. Many of the dinosaurs were cracked or broken and very fragile. The good news is it wasn't super crowded. For the price it was a nice activity. We may opt next time to drive a little further for someplace that is more kept up. read more

We planned to go to a different putt putt place but it was too packed so we went to Jurassic Putt. The staff was friendly. The course definitely shows age and signs of use without maintenance. The cave holes were leaking water on to our heads. The green was lumpy. read more

Old and outdated...but we still had fun. Beautiful view of the bay!

Horrible course. Lame decor and the greens were all wrinkled. Zero obstacles. Cash only. Several other courses closer to Kill Devil Hills that look good. I won't be back to this one. read more

This was my favorite putt-putt place as a kid. If you have kids, they will love this course. If you are an adult without kids, you might not like it as much, but you can hide, make dinosaur noises, and see if anybody believes that there is a live dinosaur on the loose. read more

This place -- which is actually called Jurassic Putt -- delivers on the promise of an elaborately-themed dinosaur mini-golf experience. The emphasis is on the decor and not the greens, but that's perfect for young children. A little expensive but you get to golf as much as you want. read more

This place is $8 per person. They have two 18 hole courses. It's pretty basic with not too many bells and whistles. I'm sure there are better options out there. Keep driving north for better mini golf! read more

My daughter (age 10) loved it. Challenging holes. Two courses. Facts about dinosaurs sprinkled throughout. Good beach activity.

Typical cheesy beach mini golf. There are some challenging and some easy holes. Nothing too exciting with the holes.

It is a very basic course when it comes to difficulty. But it is perfect if you are taking young kids. When I went, the landscaping and decor was in great shape, and the staff was friendly. My four year old son and I had a great time. If you like to play a challenging course, this is not for you. read more

What a wonderful, fun way to enjoy Nags Head! The staff was incredibly helpful, not to mention kind. The grounds are beautiful, and it was the perfect t way to have some fun bonding time outdoors! read more

This place is really pretty terrible. The holes are completely unimaginative. No bumps, curves, funnels, obstacles or anything. The only decoration is the paper mache dinosaurs, which are in a state of disrepair. The greens follow the terrain, nothing more. A few of the holes are submerges in foul brown opaque water. Other greens are soaked in this water. There is a waterfall system, but it is green and stagnant in some parts. The only thing that redeemed this for me was the sighting of three different wild rabbits during my round. 8 dollars a person for this course is highway robbery. Avoid at all costs. read more

Cash only. Poorly maintained. With so many quality options in Nags Head, I'd head somewhere else. Recommend Mutiny Bay just a few blocks away. read more

Fun for the family! Could definitely use an update or two though (lumpy putting greens that deter the ball from the hole, hard to identify which hole your on due to aged numbering, staff was ehh on the day I went with 12 family members.) With all that said, $10 is a little steep per person for the quality of the game. read more

A little bit expensive for what was offered, it was a very basic mini golf course. There were fun dinosaurs along the course though, and the kids seemed to have a good time. read more

Paper mache dinasours and the guy who ran the place cut the lights off while we were playing since it was closing time while we were on hole 12. Ignorant...dont waste ur money read more

Course is easy, the greens are in bad shape. they don't take credit cards. It does go fast though due to lack of shots needed.

I really enjoyed this putt! Most reviews said "great for kids" and "easy putt", but my boyfriend & I enjoyed it quite a lot!

Don't let the cute decorations fool you! There are two 18-hole courses but things got repetitive by the 9th hole and I gave up because I was so bored. Probably only worth your while if you're taking very young children. read more

Went to this place expecting a nice round of mini golf, but at 9 dollars a piece, it was simply not worth it. The holes were extremely boring. Out of 18 holes, maybe 2 were fun with obstacles/water/etc. Don't waste your time or money here. Very boring. read more
