The ladies at the counter were very rude! Stood in line for an hour and never hit a golf ball! Yes, they were busy, but when we didn't have 4 hours to burn, they were very rude about a $20 refund! Yes, I know it is only $20, but it was how rude they were about the situation! read more

Very fun good prices. Family friendly or for older people as well. Clean and good friendly staff.

We golfed on the waterfront 18. It is tired, old and needs a major rehab. They are putting bandaids on a large wound with their attempts at touching up paint. The water feature is broken, and many areas are in disrepair. We walked over to see the back 18, and it looks from afar as to be in better condition. Hit some balls in the cage, and the man tending to the guests was very kind and helpful. read more

Went down to Galveston to try out this place. Wanted to try both courses but the harder one is closed. So we only got to do the easy course. It's just ok. Definitely in need of some major maintenance! I'm hopeful that the harder course was closed for maintenance and they will shut down the easy course to fix it once the harder course is done. If that's the case we will be back for a day of putt-putt and the try out cages. Side notes: Cash only $10 Adults $7 children No "deals/specials" for wanting to play both courses back to back read more

I believe this place has been here along the sea wall since I was a child, and I probably played there back then. I would have thought it would be run down, but the reviews were good, so we tried it. There are 2 courses. We played the harder one and had a great time! Everything worked well and the greens were nicely kept up. If you play the easier course, you probably get a great view of the ocean while putting. Be sure to bring cash, because they don't take plastic. read more

The fact that this is the only put out place in Galveston kind of sucks. 16 bucks for 18 holes and there are two 18 hole courses at this mini golf. The props such as the huge conch shell, the pirates ship and the cheese grader are some really fun holes. With that being said, this place could definitely use some remodeling, especially at that price. It seems pretty run down for the most part. Customer service is and the location is the only reason I'm giving this place 3 stars. Regardless the kids will have a great time!! read more

This place was really fun! They have the hard course and the easy course. We played both courses. I like how they set it up. It wasn't too crowded when we went in the evening time. And you can see the beach while you play as well. On the last hole, if you make it in on the first try, you get a free round of mini golf. It startled me because I didn't know this and I made it. Bells and whistles were going off. This is a good place for a family to go while on vacation! read more

Not sure how anyone else reviewed this place as good. This place barely gets one star we almost lefted when we 1st arrived the girl that checked us in was extremely rude and not helpful. This golf course is poorly maintained Mix match pieces of green grass that are sized wrong or different textures half the stuff is broke or did not work. Patches everywhere that do not line up are stick out. This place is a huge joke they are laughing with your money in hand. Very expensive for what you get. A few holes where unplayable but One hole literary had tape off on back around it. read more

Nice place, two courses but we had to quit and leave before we were done because the mosquitoes were horrible!! Wish they would spray.

Absolutely love this place!! I've been coming here since I was a kid. It's been a while since I've been here so I thought I would give this place a review. The place has plenty of parking. Even coming during Spring Break, I was able to find a place to park so that's a bonus. I read some reviews before I came and I saw that it is CASH ONLY. There's two courses. The front course and the back course. I've done both. The front course tends to be easier and you get a nice view of the seawall. The back course is a bit challenging and more shaded. Today I did the back course and had a blast. Each course is 18 holes and the last hole if you get a hole-in-one, you win a free game of golf! Always a blast coming here. Will definitely return. read more

We love this place !! We had an amazing time and really enjoyed the experience. The kids had a blast and loved all the different courses!

This was Fun for all ages! We enjoyed this on our trip to the beach. We even did the batting cages too.

It was a great mini golf course we played the jungle at we started like at 8:10pm we didn't finished to 9. My only thing is it was crowded .

I wouldn't call myself a mini golf aficionado by any means but have played a number of courses and this was the best one! They have two 18 hole courses here and I can only vouch for the backside one which was the harder one and also the hotter one! It was worth it though. There is no breeze on the backside but it is fairly shady. It was a 90 degree day though and we were dripping sweat. The holes were unique and challenging in a really fun way. FYI the snow cones next door are not the soft really nice Hawaiian shaved ice but still not bad. read more

We had the best time here! We mini golf every vacation and have played on many courses. The difficult course here had the best holes! The statues and colors. Perfect way to burn an hour or so! read more

this was a fun place to go , the "easy" side is 10 dollars for adults . when you're done and want to do the other side which is the "hard" side it is 10 dollars for adults , so basically if you want to do both sides make sure to say that so you can enjoy the entire thing. It's very worth it , no parallel parking by the way. Would definitely go again read more

A Galveston seawall classic. I always look for the dragon and crazy mushroom sculptures that highlights this putt-putt golf course when we head to West Beach. We opted for this fun diversion to kill some time and allow traffic to die down, before heading back to Houston on the last warm day in January this week. Since it was a weekday evening, we had the place to ourselves. We plunked down 7 bucks apiece and opted for Course 2, towards the rear, since the warm day was morphing into a windy, chilly evening. Note, the Pirate looks deceptively easy. In addition to putt-putt, they also have batting cages, but these were out of commission when we were there. Hopefully, they'll be up and running by spring/summer because it's our favorite place to smack the balls. If you're really crazy, they offer a bungee ride and during the summer, a sno-cone stand. read more

Seriously the cutest little putt putt course ever! Very nostalgic. This one reminds me of the courses I grew up playing. You just don't find them like this anymore! The course is well kept - the cracks & faded paint just keep its character. Not a lot of shade, so bring your sunscreen! We played the back "difficult" holes and laughed the whole way around failing miserably at putt putt but having a great time! Look forward to coming back when family visits. read more

This place rules. It's not fancy. There's no digital screens. It's as old school as it is. That's why it works. It's not fulll of gimmicks. Min-golf and batting cages. Just like it should be. read more

Went with the family on a weekday and had the whole place to ourselves! So much fun. I will say that the courses are tricky not sure if it's meant to be as tricky or if the greens were poorly made but we had fun regardless! read more

And the fifth star gets added after a recent visit. We spent the Thanksgiving long weekend on the island and had a weird layover between hotels sooooo Putt-Putt! We dragged the dubious 20yo college kid with us this time and just literally laughed our butts off the whole time. The pirate worked, the mimosas from Miller's had kicked in, and we had a blast. Yes, the 49 yo, 47 yo & 20 yo just had a blast as a family. Honestly this isn't just for kids though I wish my older kids had been able to join us... Next time. Orrrrr I may love it because I hit the dragon's mouth again. Yessssss! (And no, I will never ever shut up about that... Who doesn't golf? This chick! Who is the undisputed Magic Carpet Golf Champion in my family? Yup. This chick!) Go play, y'all. You're never too old. read more

This putt putt golf course is pretty fun. I went on a blustery, kind of cold, January day, so it wasn't crowded. It was pretty fun, although a bit sketch. The fun part: There are 2 courses. The one we chose was long, creative, and a little difficult. The sketch part: The guy who worked there was....interesting. At one point he started a newspaper fire in a wheelbarrow and we were pretty sure he was about to set part of the course on fire. Other things to know: It's cash only. I can't think of anything else.... read more

We had a great time here. The kids (6, 7 and 9) loved the dragon and the castle. Great location right on the seawall. Will be back for sure. read more

I love this place. It's the best miniature golf in Texas! Really fun design. Whenever we were in Galveston we spent an hour here.

This place is so fun! My husband and I went on a Saturday morning and there were hardly any people playing. We had so much fun! Course is really challenging and well maintained. If you get a hole in one on the last hole, you get a free round of golf! read more

What an amazing place!! Really awesome 36 hole putt putt with ocean view and friendly staff! Will be coming back again next time!

Came here in the morning with 3 young kids and they had a blast playing mini golf. And the lady who takes your money is the nicest customer service person I have met in a long time! Definitely recommend this as a great activity on the island. read more

OVER PRICED! Chipped paint. Stagnant water. Bugs everywhere. It's just seems like they don't care about the upkeep anymore. read more

During our family vacation, we stopped in here to get a break from the beach. We were greeted by a nice woman, behind the desk and found that they're CASH ONLY. Oops. Luckily, our son gave us a short term loan and we got our gear and hit the course. We opted for their more difficult one, and had fun watching the balls go through cannons, dragon tails and other creatures. All of us went over par on most holes but still managed to get two hole-in-ones. Other than being eaten alive by mosquitoes (bring bug spray), which really can't be avoided since you're in a hot & humid environment, we had a blast. We'd definitely recommend this place to other visitors! read more

First of all, I love miniature golf. This is the best coarse in the Houston area. They've really dedicated to design and difficulty of each hole. It is cash only but I'm not sure why people are so upset about this. $10/person/coarse. Staff is very friendly. If you're with little kids I recommend the front coarse with sea side view. Otherwise, the back coarse is more difficult and more fun. It's located right off the sea wall. There's a restaurant/souvenir shop/bar across the street on the ocean. Private parking lot. I recommend bringing bug spray as there's stagnant water. Enjoy! read more

We can't go to Galveston without going to magic carpet mini golf. It really is a decent course. The back course is better than the front course by far. Play is priced fairly. They also have that weird not bungee jumping thing. I don't know what it's called, but it's not bungee jumping, I know that. You need to know that they do NOT take credit cards and the nearest ATM is about 1.5 miles away. Bring cash. Trey E. reminded me about the shaved ice truck. It's like a NO sno-ball. yum. I like the grouchy lady that works the booth. She's funny. read more

Not pet friendly at all. We go here almost every trip to Gavleston. It's fun, pretty and affordable. Fun for the whole family- almost. One trip we brought the 8lb miniature dachshund. The owner made it very clear that she did not want the dog on the course. That's understandable, so I offered to stay behind with the dog while everyone else golfed. I took the dog and stood outside of our car to enjoy the sun. Minutes later the owner came over and told me that she wanted the dog off of her property. The dog was not bothering anyone, I'm not sure what the issue was. I couldn't leave so we waited in the hot car. This rude experience knocked a few stars off, otherwise we have enjoyed mini golf and the batting cages on several occasions. Go if you can leave the dog elsewhere. read more

Great game of mini golf. I played the rear 18 and the complexity absolutely rivals courses at myrtle beach. It's a fantastic option for family/friends when you don't want to swim in the nasty gulf water and the Pier is too expensive. Frankly, I think a solo trip out here from Houston would be worth it. I only wish this place had fans going for a breeze. The back course is literally a jungle and on a hot Galveston day, you'll be soaked with sweat in minutes. Cash only. read more

Fun putt-putt course (2 actually) right on the Seawall. You get a good gulf breeze, and the course is in pretty good shape. It's relatively challenging, yet each person in our foursome got one hole-in one (including a four-year old) . There's also a snow-cone stand on the premises (that puts ice cream at the bottom, nice) and a batting cage that's $1 for 10 balls. Not sure if that is expensive or cheap, but we spent all of $4 having a good time there too. They could use some shade for the picnic tables, but hard to complain other than that. read more

This is the best mini golf course I have ever been to! The staff we interacted with were very nice. All of the holes are super cute and fun. There are no basic courses, just interactive and engaging ones. It is $10 a person with free parking. The course facing the water is read more

My family has vacationed in Galveston every year for the past 10+ years, and this place is an island classic. It's a tradition to stop here on our trip. They only accept cash, but the price is relatively cheap. $8 for Adults and $7 for kids, so it's still cheaper than going to the Pier or the movies. They also sell snacks and have batting cages, a bungee ball ride thing that I will never ride, and a snow cone truck was in the parking lot as well. (Oh, and having a parking lot is nice...I hate parking on the Seawall.) Our favorite course is the front course, which is also the easier of the two. The back course is fun as well, but it has no breeze and tons of mosquitoes, so I only play there if we come during a cooler time of year. My last trip here, mosquitoes were pretty bad on the front course too, so bring bug spray regardless. I took off a star because the courses could use cosmetic repairs big time. Every once in a while, one of the moving figurines on the courses will be shut down for mechanical repair, which is to be expected. But the entire course could use a fresh coat of paint, trash cleanup, new signage and landscaping. Don't be put off by its appearance though. Both courses are unique and challenging, which is why I really love this place. I can't find another course nearby with the classic windmill hole! read more

I'm a sucker for cheesy past times. This place has two staples: mini-golf and batting cages. Important to know: CASH ONLY. Unfortunately there's no ATM on site, but there is a gas station right before getting here, or across the way at the bar. What I liked about this place is the extended courses. You get a full 18 holes! Choose from the front course which gives you views of the water and passers-by. Or go the back route for a more quiet and perhaps shadier option. The batting cages in the back are super cheap. 1$ for 10 balls. Don't expect pristine conditions. There will be uneven surfaces. There will be squeaky parts. But with that comes simplicity, lots of fun, and good laughs. read more

This is a great course with lots of obstacles. They have two courses you can play. one is facing the Seawall and the other is on the backside. We only played the back course and we felt like we were in the jungle. As you can imagine being in a dense, forest like atmosphere it can get a little hot in there. We were definitely glowing by the time we got to the fresh breeze. We went on a Friday night so it was busy and we had to wait to play some of the holes and there was always someone behind us. It's to be expected on a Friday night in the summer. Despite the crowds, we had a great time. We even decided to go to the batting cages and get a shaved ice. read more

We went here last night and half way into our game, a cottonmouth snake came out of the brush on the course that was in the back. That obviously cut our game short. We returned to the counter where we paid. The man gave us a full refund and two free passes to come back that never expire. read more
