Hours & Season

What are your hours?

Monday – Saturday: 11:00 AM – 11:00 PM

Sunday: 1:00 PM – 10:00 PM

We’re primarily a summer seasonal park. If you’re visiting outside peak season, call ahead to confirm we’re open: 252-995-6325.

Do hours change for the season or holidays?

Peak season is roughly Memorial Day through Labor Day (sometimes a little longer, depending on weather and the season — including hurricane impacts).

Holidays don’t change our listed hours — weather might. When in doubt, call ahead: 252-995-6325.

What’s the last time for mini golf or go-karts?

Monday – Saturday: last golfers head out at 10:00 PM; go-karts can run until close at 11:00 PM.

Sunday: last golfers head out at 9:00 PM; we close at 10:00 PM.

When is it busiest?

June, July, and August are peak months. The months before and after are usually much quieter.

Mini Golf

How much is mini golf?

$15 per person for our 18-hole course.

Ages 6 & under play FREE when accompanied by an adult on the course.

We don’t currently advertise senior, military, or other discount programs.

Is it 9 holes or 18 holes?

We offer a full 18-hole course only — no 9-hole option.

What does “play all day until 5pm” mean?

This applies to mini golf only (not go-karts).

You can start anytime before 5:00 PM and keep playing until 5:00 PM — as long as you stay on-site.

The last hole collects your ball. When you finish a round and want another, come inside and grab another ball, then head back out.

If you leave the property and come back later, we’ll need to treat it as a new visit (we aren’t able to track who already played once guests leave).

After 5:00 PM, each new round needs a new payment. Evenings are busier, and we have a limited number of putters and space on the course.

Is there a second-round or replay discount?

Before 5:00 PM, extra rounds are already included in the play-all-day option if you stay on-site — no extra fee. Just grab another ball inside after you finish (the last hole takes the ball).

After 5:00 PM (or if you’ve left and returned), a new round is the regular $15 price. We don’t offer a reduced “replay” rate.

Do you have group rates?

We don’t list standard group rates online. For larger parties (often 15–20+ guests) or groups that visit regularly, we’re happy to talk options.

Please ask for a manager when you arrive, or call ahead — we’ll help however we can.

Are clubs and balls included?

Yes — putters and balls are provided. Please return your putter when you finish so the next family can play.

The last hole collects your ball. If you want another round (during play-all-day hours), come inside and grab a new ball. If a ball finds the water, stop by inside and we’ll get you another.

Pay inside the main building, then pick up a putter and ball near the golf balls. Paper scorecards and pencils are right there, along with a QR code for our digital scorecard.

What’s on the course?

You’ll find a waterfall with water flowing on two sides, multiple ponds, and a gazebo in the water in the middle of the course. A boardwalk crosses the water to the gazebo and on to the next hole — that stretch runs from hole 9 to hole 10.

How long does a round take?

A family of four at a normal pace often finishes in about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Can we bring food and drinks on the course?

Yes — food and non-alcoholic drinks are welcome on the course. Please use the trash cans around the course, by the go-karts, and inside the building so everyone can enjoy a clean park.

We are a family-friendly, alcohol-free property.

Can we bring dogs?

Pets are welcome to join your visit on a leash around the property, so they don’t have to wait in a hot vehicle while you play.

For the safety of guests and the condition of the greens, pets are not permitted on the mini golf course itself. If your dog needs a break, please use the wooded edge of the park when possible.

Trained service animals are always welcome throughout the property, including areas open to the public.

Can we bring strollers or wagons?

Yes — strollers and wagons are welcome on the course.

Go Karts

How much are go-karts and how long is a ride?

$17 per ticketed driver.

Each ride is a timed 4-minute session, plus one extra lap to bring you back into the pit area.

Only drivers who meet the height requirement need a ticket. Passengers under the height requirement ride along at no extra charge.

What tracks do you have?

Family Track: singles and doubles allowed.

The Slick: a little faster — singles only.

What’s the height requirement?

To drive, guests need to be at least 58" tall.

If you’re tall enough to drive, you’ll need a ticket. Guests under the height requirement may ride as a passenger with an adult driver. Passengers must be at least 3 years old.

Height markers are posted by the track, and our operators are happy to help check.

Can two adults ride double?

On the Family Track, doubles are allowed. The passenger seat is a smaller size, so two adults may not both fit comfortably — our staff can help you decide what works best.

Are there weight limits, helmets, or shoe rules?

No weight limits. No helmets required. Any type of shoe is fine — just wear something on your feet.

How do the pedals work, and is it a safe ride?

Gas is on the right. Brake is on the left.

There is absolutely no bumping. When cars are driven correctly, it is a safe ride. Please follow staff directions at all times so everyone has a fun, smooth run.

Are there health or safety guidelines for riding?

For everyone’s safety, guests who are pregnant are not permitted on the ride. Guests who are injured are not permitted on the ride.

Guests who appear impaired by alcohol will not be permitted on the track. Thank you for helping us keep the experience safe and fun for every family.

What should I leave behind before I ride?

Please leave loose items (phones, keys, and similar) and vapes off the karts.

Secure valuables before you board — we recommend not bringing anything you wouldn’t want to lose. We’re not able to replace lost or damaged personal items.

What happens if it rains?

When the track is too wet, we pause kart operations for safety. If a ride is already underway and conditions remain safe, we’ll finish that run when we can.

We’ll reopen once the track is dry enough. If you’re watching the weather, feel free to call ahead: 252-995-6325.

Can I ride more than once? What’s the wait like?

Yes — with a valid ticket, you’re welcome to line up again. When the park is busy, we load the next group as soon as each ride finishes so everyone gets a fair turn. If a car is free, you may be able to hop on sooner.

Each ride is a timed 4 minutes, plus one extra lap back into the pit. Loading between groups often takes a couple of minutes. Wait times vary with the crowd and can’t be predicted exactly.

Tickets, Payment & Policies

How do I pay?

We accept cash, cards, and Apple Pay. All purchases are handled inside the main building.

We don’t sell tickets online yet — everything is easy to take care of when you arrive.

Do you offer refunds?

All sales for mini golf and go-karts are final. If weather or timing becomes an issue, our team can walk you through options such as rain checks (golf) or returning later with a go-kart ticket.

Do go-kart tickets expire?

Currently, go-kart tickets remain valid for a future visit, so you can come back another day if you still have tickets. Policies can change over time.

The same ticket also works if you need to step away and return during your visit (for example, when rain pauses the track).

Is there a rain check for mini golf?

Yes. If rain begins and you have not yet passed hole 9, ask inside about a rain check so you can finish another time.

Any coupons or deals right now?

We don’t have active coupons or special promotions at this time. Follow us on Instagram for updates and photos from the park.

Kids, Families & Safety

Do kids play free?

Mini golf: ages 6 and under play free with an adult supervising on the course.

Go-karts: passengers under the height requirement (age 3 and up) ride at no charge; only the driver needs a ticket.

Where are the restrooms and first aid?

Restrooms are inside the main building.

If you need first aid or assistance, please come inside and speak with our team — we’re here to help.

Can we smoke or vape?

Please keep the main building smoke-free. Smoking outdoors is fine — we provide outdoor receptacles (cigarette cans) for disposal.

Vapes and similar items should stay off the go-karts for safety.

What if something gets lost?

Please secure phones, keys, and other personal items before riding or playing. We’re happy to help look if something goes missing, though we can’t guarantee recovery or replacement of personal belongings.

Food & Refreshments

What snacks and drinks do you sell?

Inside you’ll find snacks like candy bars, canned soda, bottled water, snow cones, fresh lemonade, cotton candy, and popcorn.

Can we bring outside food?

Yes — we only ask that you use the trash cans so the park stays welcoming for the next family. You’ll find them on the course, by the go-karts, and inside the building.

Please keep the property alcohol-free so every guest can enjoy a comfortable family visit.

Weather & Hot Days

Can we play mini golf in the rain?

Yes — if you’d like to keep playing in the rain, you’re welcome to. If rain starts and you have not yet passed hole 9, ask inside about a rain check so you can come back and finish another time.

Do go-karts run in the rain?

Not when the track is too wet. We only run when it’s safe and dry enough. Call ahead if you’re unsure.

Any tips for hot summer days?

Stay hydrated with water and take shade breaks after long stretches in direct sun. Peak heat is common in June–August.
