    Our merry little group had a great time at this course. It was so much fun, super clean, and not so easy!!!!

    Fun decor!

    Pirate's Cove is a great place to spend a beautiful day with friends and/or family! It's not exactly cheap but it's extremely well-themed and pleasantly staffed. My parents and I had wanted to try mini golf here for a while and finally made it over recently. There was plenty of parking in their private lot and we did not have to wait for service despite it being a pretty Sunday. The woman administering the shop was very pleasant and walked us through the process of getting started. At $13.50 an adult, this is not a cheap experience but it is a nice one. There are two courses to choose from: easy or hard, which is another way of saying "for kids exclusively" and "for mixed groups/adults". We opted for the hard course and it was both fun and challenging with plenty of hazards and interesting angles to keep you thinking strategically. The decor and walking areas add to the experience with their charm, particularly the beautiful (artificial) blue water pouring down from their waterfall. There are a few fun photo opportunities too, don't miss them! The entire course took a little over an hour to do, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. If you're looking for a fun date idea or a way to enjoy a warm day with your family, I highly recommend it! Overall: 4.5 stars ---- Pros: - Very fun course with plenty of challenge. - Excellent friendly service. - The course is well-taken care of with no trash around. - Plenty of easy parking. Cons: - Price is high for mini golf though perhaps we can write that off as yet another victim of the endless inflationary spiral. Still worth it!

    Beautiful course

    Best mini golf in Williamsburg!!!! There are 2 courses. Easy and hard. You can play both or just choose one. We only had time for one this time. We chose Blackbeard's course. Harder course. Staff super super nice. They are so cool I went back to chat at the end just to learn about this mini golf course. This place is 24 years old. The first owner let it get in bad shape but sold it. The second owners have put all new greens and improved with a little of really cool props. Water features are my favorite and several levels. Walking up and down and into caves. This place is a 5 for sure. Oh yeah at the end there is a few photo ops. That we had fun with. So if you had cone during the first owner please please please go try them again because this place is great nowhere

    Blackbeard's course

    This was a very fun 1.5 hour round of mini golf for the two of us. They have two courses, both are 18 holes each. You can buy them together cheaper than you can buy them separately. We purchased the more difficult experience, the Blackbeard course. We parked in their own lot and were greeted by a kind lady who took an interest in us and our vacation week. She helped us get started and handed us our clubs and golf balls. The course is well decorated, and each hole has a fun fact about Blackbeard. Throughout the course, you learn more and more about his life, chronologically. It was very clean and well organized, you knew where to go each time for the next hole. It's all outside, and we had good weather. I don't remember if there was much shade, but there is a part where you go under a waterfall. We had no one behind us, as we came on a Monday afternoon, so we spent some extra time on one hole with a steep incline because it was fun to launch the ball. There is a water feature, so you might lose your ball in the water, but we were able to retrieve it ourselves easily. They played some odd music, some was Disney or pirate-themed, and then at the end, it was the kind of music you hear at a Mexican restaurant. It made me laugh. When finished, the last hole collects your ball and you simply turn in your clubs to the little house where you check-in. I would definitely recommend this location, as it was fun, clean, and entertaining. I'm glad we stopped by during our vacation.

    Another visit to Williamsburg and another trip to Pirates cove! This is one of the best themed mini golf courses I have been to. Nephew and I played the Black Beards course but they offer 2 18 hole golf courses. Great value and a lot of fun overall! Will definitely be back again!

    One day I saw a commercial for the new Mario Golf game coming out soon and started thinking about some of the best mini golf places I had went to as a kid. Immediately I was thinking about some of the pirate, dinosaur, and themed ones near Myrtle Beach, and wondered if they existed where I live in Richmond. Turns out, this Pirate's Cove isn't that far from Richmond and is perfect for a day trip to Williamsburg! There's two 18 hole courses, so if you have the stamina and interest you can spend an hour or two playing 36 holes. The layout of the holes bring you up stairs, through caves, around water, it's nice. The holes themselves aren't overly challenging but the greens are in great condition. There are facts about pirates and some pirate themed music (which, okay, after an hour or two of hearing the same song repeat for the 4th time, might not be a positive, but I think they mixed it up partway through). There's a definite family fun pirate theme to the whole place, and that appeal alone is enough to warrant a visit. Not too expensive, not too busy, nice places to sit and rest between holes, far as mini golf comes, especially for the area, it's one of the best for sure!

    A nice little mini golf place for something to do outside in the summer that naturally has distancing between your group with the next. There are 2 courses, same price one is easier than the other, but the easy one is small child easy, so don't worry about being rusty at golf and taking the more advanced course. Every hole has a little Blackbeard fact, there's some nice variety of set ups, and they vary in challenge. Also as it turns out, the balls float as I saw many people learn first hand. It's a fun small group (6 or less) activity, and on a nice weekend, you'll be a bit backed up with people going ahead of you, so if you can come early or a weeknight,you may have less of a wait.If you do wait, there are some decent places for photo ops as you wait for the next hole to clear up.

    This is by far the best mini golf course ever! They have 2 areas to choose from, Black Beared or Captains. The first one has more steps and a bigger cave. There are a couple of caves with amazing water features, cannons, bridges and lots of cool rock steps to walk up in. The scenery is so beautiful. The price is reasonable. We had a wonderful time golfing st this beautiful course.

    Fantastic family fun! Beautiful course, clean, with fun changing game play for all levels. Both kids and adults had a great time. Staff were super friendly and kind! If you are in Williamsburg definitely make a stop here!

    What a clean and fun place to play mini golf. We took the kids at dark and had so much fun!

It was not the best idea because it was not the best mini golf course I have ever been too. The course is landscaped well, but the greens are in need of repair. How do you own a golf course, in a big tourist area, and not bother to make any repairs to the actual golf course? Threadbare patches, dirty greens, holes filled with dead leaves and random crap, dry water features, it was a let down. It is one of my biggest pet peeves when the water is not running at a mini golf course that need water on holes for them to function properly. That being said the bones of this course are pretty solid and with some TLC, some paint and a good pressure washer this could be a real solid course to play. The layout of the course is nice with some interesting holes. They would make good use of water if it was running. It was not the most challenging course, but it is good for kids. The young man working was nice and friendly. We even got a discount because we had been to the museum first so the cost was not too bad. Overall it's a okay course to play that would be even better if the owners would spend some time and energy on the upkeep. If you are looking for some mini golf in the area I would recommend Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf, it's just down the road and a much better course to play.

There was only 1 Glow Golf in Yelp for Hampton Roads and this one is inside MacArthur mall - 2nd floor, South Side area.
