What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors love Dolphin Mini Golf for its charming, old-school atmosphere, well-maintained course with coastal touches, and the unexpected delight of an on-site shell museum. The shaded areas are a significant plus on warm days, and the friendly owners add to the welcoming experience. However, some find the 'by chance' weekday hours frustrating, and the cash-only policy requires preparation.
"This is such a cute spot with lovely owners! Nancy was so nice to chat with before our game of mini golf. The course is simple, but well-maintained with cute coastal touches. It’s mostly in the shade too, which was nice on a hot day! And the shell museum is so cool! We enjoyed some ice cream after the game as well. It’s cash only, with an ATM on site if needed. Would definitely recommend!"

"Nice little putt putt, actually with some shade on a hot day, with a nice ice cream stand right next door."

"I’ve been to many mini golf courses and this one was very fun. A little older of a course but has way better obstacles than newer fancier courses. 100% would come back and play again."
