We had so much fun the first time, we went back again the next day! The first day was with another family of 3 with our family of 4, totaling 4 adults and 3 kids. We split the group and let the kids go as a group and adults go as a group. We are highly competitive adults! There is a cash discount when paying and ATM onsite though, with the fee, you're probably better off using a credit card. Cash options are $12/adults and $9/kids age 12 and under. You can choose the left side which is labeled the "harder" side or right which is labeled "easier". Each course is 18 holes. A scorecard is provided for each side. The holes are not labeled. Follow the scorecard for hole descriptions. There are not many places to sit when holes get backed up and bring plenty of water as most of the course is in the sun. We did one course during the day and the next day we went after sunset.

I dont want to give too much of the course away. It was fun for adults and kids and I especially liked seeing the clubs being...
Read moreMagic Carpet Mini-Golf on Galveston Island wins my award for best Mini-Golf course that I've ever played. The course is:
Filled with really fun obstacles, like a giant dragon, a giant red ant, a giant sea shell, a cannon that fires your ball into a castle, a giant snake with light-up eyes, and most importantly, a giant wheel of cheese.
Challenging in unique ways, with the obstacles and the turns in the course creating a more interesting mini-golf experience than your average course. Come on down and try to get your ball to go through the right hole in the wheel of holey Swiss Cheese!
Landscaped beautifully, with palm trees, lush plants and tropical flowers, such as the gorgeous Canna "Yellow King Humbert." The course also winds its way first down and then up a fairly substantial hill, making use of the different levels of the hill at every turn.
Situated on a hill overlooking both Galveston Beach and a lagoon, providing gorgeous views of the ocean, a restaurant called Jimmy's on the Pier, and the lagoon surrounded by more lush plant life.
Overall, the course is both gorgeous and...
