Absolutely fantastic. This is the first crazy golf course we've been able to play properly as a family as it truly wheelchair accessible. Well done!

Adam

Fantastic fun course, friendly staff, great location and good value. Will definitely be back!

Jenny

A brilliant experience and great customer service. We went during the time of social distancing and they were doing everything they could to ensure the safety of staff and others. The golf course was also lots of fun. We will definitely be back again soon.

Chloe

Smugglers Cove is simply the best crazy golf course I’ve been to! It’s huge, well designed and good fun! The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful! Thoroughly worth the visit and definitely recommend!!

Sam

Great adventure golf course! My two children really enjoyed it and the adults in the group loved getting competitive around the 18 hole course. The theme is really fun and the landscape is high quality and well thought out. We will definitely visit this attraction again
