Terrible experience. My group of 4 got there at 9:25pm and they let us in to play. They promptly turned the sprinklers on for the grass, getting us all soaking wet along with making all the walkways super slippery. We told the man at the desk and he said "oh" like he didn't see the sprinklers on, which they could from the hole we were at. I will not be going back. read more

A really fun place for mini golf. We went with their package deal for 18-hole course and tickets to be used at their go kart. Very clean place, challenging Blackbeard course, and beautifully decorated. read more

Fun and not that pricy! Two different courses to choose from. The hard one is awesome!

Go karts we're fun, but operators let two preteen boys ruin the fun for everyone. They bumped each of our party of 5 adults and only got warnings despite the fact they did this in multiple races! Very annoying to allow two guests to spoil the experience for everyone. Toilets were filthy, minor attempt to clean the bowls. We may try again as the course would have been fun without the guest who continually flaunted the rules but the operators allowed them multiple races (5) with more than the stated 2 warnings. Slowed entire group down twice to talked to these brats. Their dad was no where around during the races and asked how they were going again, they had bought more tickets without his knowledge. read more

Kids and grown ups both loved this one! The staff was nice. The golf course was maintained well and it is so cute and fun!

This course is great! Super well maintained, with two scenic courses for the whole family to enjoy. Not too difficult, but challenging enough for even the most experienced putt putt golfer. Look forward to visiting again. read more

My family and I were excited to go here and have been wanting to try this for years. As we arrived, with our service dog, the manager harassed us claiming that our service animal was a fake and that "anyone can put a vest on a dog and say it's a service dog". It's unfortunate that some people do this. Ours is a dog in training, protected under MN state law. This was humiliating for our family and we left without entry to the facility. read more

Cool theme and 36 holes of golfing fun. The courses are great and there is some great thematic touches. Worth a stop if you're a fan of mini-golf or Pirates. Kids will love it too. There is a go-kart course nearby which I am not a fan of. The kids they have working there obviously did not care for us citiots and made that opinion well known. I'd go to the other go-kart place just to the south if that's your thing as you'll probably be treated better there. read more

If you're going at night, don't forget the bug spray! By the end of the night my bottle was gone from sharing the staff seem pretty miserable actually, which is kind of a surprise because it seems like an ok place to work. The bathrooms were unattended, smelly, wet, and dirty. This is a public health issue. You HAVE to clean them folks. read more

Touristy but fun - better signage needed to inform of discounts for buying carts/golf together but props to the manager who honored it after the fact for our large group. It's go-carts and mini-golf, take your kids and be prepared to drop some cash for some fun family memories. You know the drill! read more

Wow, very impressive. We went about a month ago and were very impressed with this place. It is a bit more expensive than other mini-gold places, but still very reasonable and for the setup they have there - very reasonable. It is a Pirate theme throughout the golf course - two courses. This is not the cheap theme stuff, but very nicely done. Water and waterfalls everywhere, boats to play on, caves with open dropoffs into the water hazard, even a shot under a rope fence, over a stream and down the hill to the hole. This is far and away the best mini-golf course we have seen. We will definately be back as both my husband and I and our three kids loved it! read more

we went on a weekday and it wasn't that busy at all . i accidentally got my ball in the water and an employee gave me a new one right away. it was really fun! read more

This place SHOULD be fun. It has the makings of a fun kids day. However I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND SKIPPING this and heading down to a different go kart place down the road. We called AND checked the website TWO days in a row, and asked if our 3 year old could ride the go karts as a passenger. I was surprised when they ASSURED me he could but obviously pleased. We drove for an hour to come only to be told our 3 year old could not get on the ride because he wasn't 40" even though we measured him yesterday and told the two separate people we spoke to his exact height and all details. He wasn't allowed to get on--and they seemed very confused--only saying repeatedly that it wasn't them they weren't working yesterday. They didn't seem concerned that we were unhappy--rather that they wouldn't get the blame--which speaks poorly for the business. Bottom line is that we were disappointed overall. Totally. read more

I almost forgot how great mini golf is for family fun. Two eighteen whole courses and a discount if you play both- sign me up! Great course, great MN people watching ("don't ya know"), and great fun. Go here next time you are up North. read more

Surprised to find such a nice mini golf place way up here, especially since it's only seasonal. Great fun for the family.

Definitely a fun activity when you are in the Brainerd area, especially on a nice day. Two mini-golf courses to choose from... Each are 18 holes. Prices are a bit on the high side... But the courses are well maintained and there are several great photo opportunities. read more

Great mini golf course! Our 4 year old had so much fun! The pirate theme with the waterfalls and such was neat. They have our son a little pirate goody bag to take with him which was nice. We got ice cream treats and then headed over to have some fun racing the go-karts! read more

I really dig this place even if the mini golf course is a little boring. It's still one of the few places you can go for pure, cornball touristy fun. The go-karts are pretty sweet as well. read more

Mini golf was great. Two of our kids got a hole in one! Then won free 5 tickets. Had loads of fun on the go karts! Laughed so hard! Great time and we will be back! read more

Great place for mini golf. They have two courses: BLACKBEARD and CAPTAINS. Reasonably priced at $7.50 + tax. The place is always busy, so be prepared to wait behind other groups/families. Courses are great with some holes a bit more challenging than others. DADS golf for free on Fathers Day. Great family favorite. read more

Mini golf has always been a need to do item on our family's vacation checklist for decades, however every year we come back to pirates cove it seems more and more run down.. the golf is fun, great atmosphere minus the smoking and ashtrays at every hole. One problem with this is that kids often times play in the ashtrays mistaking then as sand to play in. Billy Bones Raceway next door is by far the worst part of the park. If you like getting disapproving looks from the 15 year old employees that run the track and inconsistent and aged go-carts then you might enjoy it. However most do not enjoy this and like I, will be very disappointed whether it's your first time there, or like mine your last time read more

I went with a group of about 20 adults and children to Pirates Cove to go-kart. The little kids can ride with there parents or someone over 18 or if they are over 40 inches they can drive on the junior track which is pretty cool. It cost about $5 a go kart round. During the first round my car was stopped for the majority of the time, however I was never offered a refund or apology. The second round was a blast however I got a warning for when another person bumped into me even though I clearly had nothing to do with it. You get a good amount of time on the track. read more

This is a very nice mini golf course! A little challenging with the stairs for those with limited mobility
