Fun decor!
Keegan Z.

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.

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.

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!

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

Jannet C.

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!

It has an 18 hole course that is in great condition. It's nothing super fancy, but it's not run down by any means either. The course offers some simple holes and some very challenging holes. It is well decorated and has plenty of lighting for night time mini golf. It doesn't offer much in the way of shade, so I imagine on a super hot day it's not ideal. One of the things I really liked about this place was that it wasn't as busy a some of the alternative places to play mini golf in the area. Also, the prices were very reasonable. It was $9 for adults and $7 for kids. Make sure you check with the local hotels or at tourist brochure stands for discount coupons. The staff told me that if we had visited Ripley's there would have also been a discount. It may have been as much as half price, but I can't be sure about that (sorry). Another thing I liked was the super friendly staff member, Bobby. He was incredibly friendly, helpful and kind to us. He answered all of our questions and went out of his way to provide top notch customer service. Kudos to him!! I would recommend this place to any fan of mini golf and I hope to be back real soon! *This business is gun carry friendly.

There is no admission, you pay by the ride OR you can get a ride pass that provides you with unlimited rides (except the arcade).

They have this mini coaster called "Python Pit", and you have been warned . They were in the process of expanding the area to include what looked like a multi- ramp go kart ride. There is a snack bar, but it closed around 7p (but the park stayed opened to 9 ) and the vending machines weren't working. Had to take a star off for that. (Free water was provided). They had plenty of benches (some covered) for you to sit and observe (as I did) and a covered pavilion with tables and benches for you to host a party. All in all, it was okay, but they need to keep the snack bar open until at least 30 minutes before closing AND please fix the busted vending machines!

My boyfriend and I arrived and when you first walk in it looks honestly like the name, a small hotel. When we checked in the wait was 30 minutes which wasn't a problem since they had an area you could order food and drinks. While we were waiting we ordered two cocktails and a quick appetizer which was the sausage bites. They give you a pretty good amount. Not too filling but just enough to have something in your stomach. The drinks were good too. After we sat for about 25 minutes it was our time to golf. You can bring your drinks with you while you golf as well. The atmosphere was such a chill vibe, all the holes had a different area and it was really like you were in an old hotel.

The Accompanied Scrambled Eggs Isle of Skye had smoked salmon, creme fraiche, and herbs. The eggs were cooked fine but the meal was lacking flavor. The classic French toast served with bacon and maple syrup was alright. Shakshuka was alright as well. Food-wise, it's 4/5. Nothing special. Service is also 4/5. The staff were nice but service was super slow. Despite these, we had fun playing mini golf. The course was not as complicated as other ones.

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

I remember a ride that most of us adults went on that felt like a whirlpool. Maybe it was that whitewater one. We did get very wet! But mostly we focussed on the kids. The kids loved the Big Bad Wolf, the Grover Alpine Express, and for the youngest, Oscars Whirly Worms! The Wolf was a 40mph roller coaster for those over 42-in tall, not, we thought, for little kids. It was a sort of werewolf story-line. Grover was a favorite for the littler kids over 38-in tall, with several drops that were dramatic enough for them. Parents rode-along. Oscars was just for the littlest who can walk. Parents rode-along on this one, too. Some spinning. Some rocking. That's the experience we were after. Nice!

Heavy rain and prolonged ride closures substantially disrupted the visit. We spent considerable time sheltering inside a restaurant in the Germany area. One ride was also delayed for approximately an hour while cars were changed. Ultimately, I rode only three attractions and used my All-Day Dining pass only twice. During the visit, staff told us we could receive passes to return another day because of the extended closures. We were specifically instructed to visit Guest Services before leaving, leave before 8 p.m., and allow staff to observe our exit. My aunts received return passes, and we have photographs documenting those passes. We arrived at Guest Services at approximately 7:35 p.m., following those instructions. Nevertheless, six members of our party, including myself, were denied return passes. We were told that the rain had stopped earlier and that we had sufficient opportunity to enjoy the park. That explanation did not account for the prolonged disruptions or the instructions we had relied upon. I am also concerned about the conduct of the staff handling our request. Staff members shook their heads at one another and laughed during the interaction, which made us feel mocked. A manager whose badge I read as "Melene" handled the discussion. Her badge was initially beneath her jacket. When she showed it and I attempted to photograph it to remember her name, she blocked the photograph and told me to write it down. I became frustrated and asked her to write it down for me. She requested and scanned my original ticket but ultimately declined to issue the return passes and directed us to contact customer service online. This ruined my Birthday visit completely!
