This restored old 1958 mini golf course is the perfect place to play, for kids and adults! My wife and I had an amazing time. We used a coupon we picked up inside and both played 36 holes for a total of $10 on New Year’s Eve! This place is operated by and supports First Tee of Northwest Florida, which is a local branch of an organization that introduces golf to kids from all walks of life. The course is challenging and includes plenty of its original touches. It felt like somewhere you’d play on the open road out in the American west. I’d call it an essential road trip stop for any individual, couple or family traveling through Pensacola!

My brother & his wife along with my daughter & her family including my six year old Granddaughter Avery were visiting for Thanksgiving. Since she loves to play mini-golf four of us decided to take her to play at Pirates Island. There are two 18 hole courses to choose from and Avery picked “Blackbeard’s Challenge”. The “Pirate” theme is carried throughout the property. Avery really likes challenges so putting over streams, along waterfalls and through two caves were right up her alley. This course also offers panoramic views of both courses as well as the surrounding area from atop Pirate’s mountain. The property is very clean, well maintained (the putting surfaces are in excellent condition), & the landscaping is beautiful. The employees were very friendly & all safety protocols were being followed. We had a great time & even won a free game for getting a hole-in-one on the 18th hole. We will definitely be back. Plenty of parking; restrooms on site. Competitively priced; Currently open daily; One of the best mini-golf courses on the beach.

Just had an amazing time with our 2.5 year old son! We did all the kids rides and some arcade games inside. What's nice about this place is though the arcade is not huge, it has a lot of really fun games. Even better there were many our son could do with us. There's bowling games, bean bag toss, ring a bottle, root beer pong style cup game, drop it game where a person pushes the button to let as many balls as you can drop into buckets. There's also basketball shooting, claw games, ticket winning games, ski ball, fish bowl throw, we're just some to name a few. Very up to date games and lots of fun for all ages. You load a card with money and then you actually earn tickets on the card too. Very easy and functional. Most games are 1pt=$1. We ventured outside to the rides as well. There's plenty for little ones to do and the parents can ride for free. Kids rides costs 4pts for each kiddie ride, that equates to $3.97 per ride. However, if you buy more, you can save more too. The rides are well ran and safe. They all seem updated and gave me no concern to let my child ride. One of the Best parts was the staff. Two of the gentleman that helped on these rides were Outstanding! So friendly, considerate of the kids and very helpful to get them on and off the ride. Baldwin and Matthew were FANTASTIC!! Baldwin was my sons new favorite friend. He was high-fiving him, he gave him a hug and he was SO SWEET! Matthew was making sure he'd be okay on the ride, letting us know what it did and just ensuring us that he'd stop if he didn't like it. I'm just SO impressed by the staff. It makes you feel so nice when these attendants care about the kids, the parents, the safety and overall fun! There's so much more for other ages too. I highly recommend you stop at The Track!
