Customer Reviews

Fun place to go mini golfing. Great place to take family, especially kids. The look from the road looks small, but it was a decent size. Employees seemed to be a bit stressed, but it was busy that day so hopefully because of that. First time there was during COVID and I have been there 3 times since. Would go again, super fun.

This is one of the best places we've been to for mini golf. They also have a driving range, which was cool. I had never been to one before. On top of those, they have go karts and an arcade. I guess they used to have a batting cage, but that closed. So sad. The staff there are really kind and helpful. The prices are decent too. It was $18 per adult for mini golf, and then a large bucket of balls for the driving range was $20. The architecture for the mini golf is great. All the skulls and animals were aweso

This mini golf course is wonderful. From the road you can't really tell how big it is but it is large, well spaced and extremely well maintained. The holes are interesting and kind of challenging. In addition to the mini golf, there is a driving range, arcade, and go cart track. The first thing I was struck by was how clean everything was right down to the clear water within the features, secondly I was surprised at the ample room between holes to sit or stand and avoid feeling crowded even with players at

The mini golf looks awesome, with a cool 'skull Island' beach theme, but it's one of the least fun of all the mini golf places on the cape. Most every hole on the course is on an incline or decline as it ascends and descends through the layout of the 'skull Island', they're not level, meaning that if you don't hit it correctly on the inclines it rolls allllll the way back. Happened constantly during our game. BECAUSE of the inclines and declines, the area around the hole itself is curved towards the hole,

15 dollars to mini golf Love skull Island so fun. The mini golf course is challenging but not to bad. Good for all skill levels Has arcade, go-karts and a driving range. Batting range is closed

Absolutely beautiful course. That being said, they have rules they do not enforce leading to extreme back ups with 3+ groups waiting for the next hole. Also allowing private golf clubs for toddlers to hit balls around the course until that 6 person group with 2 toddlers decide they've made everyone wait long enough is just wild. Will not come back as the price is egregious for the quality of the experience.

Really nice miniature golf course, $15 per round. They let my 2 year old play for free with a special plastic club.

I went for the mini golf but this place has a lot to offer. When I go on vacation, I always have to play a game or two. Great place to spend a few hours. Looking for more reviews, follow me on YouTube or TikTok @reviewtimewithtim

We loved the mini golf, very good course. Nice setup and fun under the lights. Next we did the go karts. Great course, loved the electric cars and the staff was super helpful.

Pictures of this years St. Patrick's day parade in Yarmouth, MA

This place is amazing!!! So a lot of cool stuff to do for a great cost!!! Miniature golf - great time for the whole family. Holes are challenging but still fun. Does get crowded so go early. Go carts- great can't complain, my son had a blast and staff was very nice. The carts track itself was nicely built and easy to maneuver. Batting cages - who doesn't love to hit balls Arcade - this was one of my sons favorite places to hang out. My wife was super excited about the ski ball as the other arcade near

Our family loved this minigolf location very much! Even though my daughter scored a lot of 5?s, she still liked it! We liked that there were some shady spots mixed in with lots of sun. It was hard at times but very fun because there were really cool pirate and tropical oriented structures like huts, the giant skull, caves to walk through, bridges, lots of fountains and rivers, and rocky areas. We don't understand the low ratings. Yes, there are a lot of hills and inclines but that's the architecture of

Best mini golf in any a joining States. The most incredible experience for anyone in a wheelchair. This is the only course that is completely accessible. Not too many mini golf courses are accessible. The entire facility is awesome. If you are looking for a clean, fun family experience, Skull Island is the place to visit. The staff are so kind and friendly, it makes you smile just to be there! I highly recommend, especially pleased with the accessibility!

Skull Island is a great time for for everyone! The mini golf is area is expansive and definitely well maintained. Area is clean and staff is nice. We weren't able to do all attractions but mini golf and go-karts are definitely worth the price. Fun times if you're in Cape Cod for sure.

We really enjoyed the mini golf, but on a Friday afternoon it was insanely busy. It took over an hour to complete the course, most of which was waiting. The arcade was also a lot of fun - loved the rollercoaster ride.

Incredible experience... So much fun... The place is huge and in great conditions... With a lot of thing to do! I would definitely came back

I like the mini golf course but the price for go carts is a rip off.

Amazing mini-golf course! We loved it and cannot wait to come back next year!

We did go karts at this location. Paid $17 for a double kart per ride. Super fun and worth doing it but with kids they always want another round or two so be prepared to spend a-lot or break some hearts because those few loops go by quickk

Had a great time playing mini golf here. Decent price for mini golf, and the course was pretty fun overall. I appreciated how there were different sized golf clubs to choose from. Was a bit busy but things were moving along pretty well.

Great course, especially hole 15 where you use a stream of water to your advantage. Theeming is great and holes are decently challenging. It does cost $15 per person tho

Very nicely maintained Mini Golf Course, good design - elevation changes and water features. Driving Range, Arcade, and Go-Karts as well

Went today. $15 per player, up from $11 or $12 in 2023, and no water or features working. Seems there should be an off season discount, especially when none of the features are working. $11 or $12 per person was already too much, but $15 is ridiculous.

Anytime we are on the Cape, we stop here. Love the miniature golf & the driving range. Theu also have go arts & batting cages. Great customer service. I recommend this establishment

Fantastic mini golf course on Cape Cod! The holes are fun and interesting and I have a blast every time I go. There is one fun water hole which can generally help you get a hole in one. It also has a great location, especially since it's right next to the Pancake Man. I've also been to the driving range which was fun.

Such a funfair for all the family, golf trails, go carts

For mini-golf the course is well decorated in the theme, but the holes itself are not the most original. If you want to have the decoration included in the courses, the smugglers cove up the road is better in my opinion. The water wasn't on today either. But, great course, well maintained and easy to follow layout.

We had a lot of fun here!! Some of the sidewalks though are a bit old and therefor have some raised parts to them. We saw a kid trip and absolutely eat the pavement at one point. He was fine, but just a small thing to maybe fix In the future. Very fun course! I wish there was some music playing out of speakers like in Pirates Cove though! It gets quiet lol

I love this golf course. We went early in the season but it was so hot that we left before we were halfway done. The staff gave us tokens to return another time. We went a few weeks later on a cooler day - they honored the tokens without any questions. Great staff. A big thank you to Kim!

Miniature golf, gocarts, arcade, and driving range. All well maintained and friendly staff. Batting cages are permanently closed for some reason.

Really fun! Whole family enjoyed it, we did go karts, and played mini golf could really tell people enjoyed it. There was a line on one of the holes and the arcade was very busy so we couldn't do that but it was fun non the less!

Great place for some family fun. Batting cages are permanently closed, but go-kart, driving range, mini golf, and arcade are all open.

It's an enjoyable mini golf course if you can wait the 30 minutes to get started. I have tried coming here many times and the line is always quite long. There is a nice driving range with pretty beat up clubs. The video arcade is ridiculously expensive.

First off you can bring your own water and I suggest to do so. I did not and was dying of thirst and did not enjoy the game as much. I do not know how but I still won. They sanitized their equipment and had reasonable prices. I think it was like $12 per person for the 18 hole mini golf. They don't just have mini golf. They have a driving range, batting cages, arcade and go karts. Not only this but this place is located right next to two ice cream places and just a few miles from a beach. DQ is one ice cream

They turn off the water and some of the lights before we finished playing. Costs more than pirates cove mini golf and not as fun. Plus Pirates cove will keep the lights, waterfalls and fun pirate music on until everyone is finished. Save some money and have more fun at Pirates Cove.

Incredibly expensive mini golf. Huge wait due to 2 large groups of 8 that weren't supposed to be on course. We called to complain and they said they would check it out. Some employee walked by and said hi to us and kept going. Nothing was addressed or sped up. Plus there are no refunds so they don't care once they have your money. Way better options on the Cape for mini golf the course itself was just ordinary.

Great mini golf place to go to. No shade on this course so young kids don't last long here on a hot sunny day. But they have a great air conditioner arcade that's good for those hot sunny days

Great course, usually go to Pirates Cove and so glad we went here! Was a lot of fun, super clean, awesome waterfalls and friendly staff. Our first time here and will definitely be coming again!!

Love this place. It has arcades, golf, go carts, batting/soccer cages.. who knew!! The mini golf has really nice decor. Definitely will be coming back! Highly recommend ??

Go kart track was pretty basic, but still fun. Went around the track about 5 times. Mini golf was fun too. Didn't do the arcade, but they had about 15 games there

Thanks for having an operational smashed penny machine!

excellent mini golf course. the course is well maintained and the pirate theme was carried throughout the entire course. just challenging enough that kids will enjoy it and not get frustrated.

Very fun mini golf! They have an arcade and go carts but we did the golf. Lots of chances for pictures. Definitely a fun and safe place to bring your kids.

We had a good time playing adventure golf!

I love it but live Rhode Island but love going every with family when we get a chance one of four favorite courses

This is the most well-kept mini golf and driving range places I've been to. Job well done. The efforts are noticeable. Thank you guys so much!

What a rip off! Overpriced arcade games. Family and I came into play some games when it was raining and 10 minutes after we got there the staff told us they were closing early because of the rain and it was not safe even though we were only there to play in the arcade. Obviously this "family run" business only cares about one thing.

Nice deep driving range to see if you can get the long shots. Popular mini golf course as well. Go carts with electric carts on a mostly oval track that has an s curve. The batting cages have at least 3 pitching speeds for baseball. There are softball ones too. There is also a classic gaming arcade that one has to go through to reach the other activities and often traps the kids going in or out. Cash only and there is a BAC ATM hut in the parking lot.

mini golf course is fun. go karts aren't worth it. Arcade is entertaining but could use a few more games

Nicely themed mini golf. Probably one of the better ones in the area. They appear to allow groups larger than 4 so on weekend when larger families play, it slows down. Still nice course!

Great fun. Super clean. Well maintained. Not as crowded as Pirates Cove. They have an arcade, go-carts and driving range on site

Here on vacation and looking for some mini-golf fun. Price is fair. The course is clean and fun. This will be a sure stop anytime we are in the area!

Went there during the pandemic and it seems like they r taking every precaution to keep patrons safe! The mini golf was packed and u get stuck waiting behind people on fri and sat but go karts were a blast!

Lots of fun minigolfing. One round takes about an hour and a half. They weren't as complicated as they could be tho. Batting cages, driving ranges, good cape cod fun. Needs alcohol.

Fun mini golf courrse, but needs more shade on a hot sunny day. We try to pkay there at night - great vibe, cool lights throughout this imaginative course

Great Mini Golf! Course was very clean and well kept. I would highly recommend if you are in the area!

Good mini golf. There is not much shade at all, so I suggest going on a colder day. There is a variety of different things here.

Great place went here with my family great time great staff good mini golf

Fun place to take family, but unfortunately, some attractions were closed due to weather. The employees could have been a bit more friendly as well.

Really good mini golf place. Lots of other things to do as well like arcade, batting cages, go karts but I can't comment on those since I didn't use them.

Fun course. Could use some more shaded area on hot summer days. Batting cages and a driving range. No food on site, but the diner next door is awesome.

Fun go karts and mini golf. Golf moved quickly so we didn't have to stand around too long. Kids had a great time.

It was good untell my 9 year old needed to use a restroom.There restrooms are out of order Really!!!! At a family friendly activity.But they will still charge all the money!??????

It's clean, new. Pricey, and though doable for many ages, the "par" per hole is kinda silly. It's guaranteed to have kids going way over the strokes per hole allowed.

Expensive, but fun place to take the family for mini golf. Fun at night, but gets crowded. Attached to an arcade, go carts, driving range, and batting cages.

Mini Golf was okay, Go Karts were nothing special, overall very okay no strong appeals or bad parts, just very okay.

Google says they close at 10pm and their website doesn't have a closing time. So we drove here for nothing @ 7:30 and the place was closed. At least change the times on your website and Google so people know

Most enjoyable, good family experience. Not too challenging.

We had a Fantastic TIME

bit pricey compared to other mini golf nearby but was nice.

Friendly staff. Awesome mini golf. Lots fun.

It sucks. The 14 year old girls collect the money and let a million people play. Takes forever.

Daughter had a blast!

Very nice time mini golfing on an amazing, fun course!

Always a good time! My favorite part is kicking butt at the go carts!

Great courses and great theme. Lots of fun things to do

Fun place, lots to do, friendly staff. What more can you ask for!

Awesome mini golf course..fyi..go-karts are closed

Nice mini golf. Can get crowded at times

Very well maintained miniature golf course.

Fun place for entire family! They accept only cash, so be prepared

Great place Great for the family Decent price Friendly staff

Great for you and your family to play mini golf

Call and check hours, because Google says open till late, but called today Friday and spoke to a person who said No they close at 5pm.

Challenging course. Fun spot with arcade and go karts

What a great date with my wife! Fun spot to be at!
