Pirates Adventure Golf — Local services in Ballyhanwood

Good craic and our kids love it. It’s not wildly expensive, and really nearby. If you do 36 holes it’s a good 1.5 hours or so.

However, much like the Ice Bowl itself, for such a fun outdoor activity it sadly, obviously, hasn’t had a penny spent on it in 20 years. Likely the council is running it down, before selling the entire complex to a property developer. A lot of the water spouts don’t work, and the golf “grass” is mouldy and blackened. The pirate ship is over grown and the water is covered in scum.

It’s a real shame, because as I say it’s good fun and a little bit of investment would spruce it up.

One other thing though, they need to ban smoking for players. Maybe it is, but like the all around the entrance to the Ice Bowl, people smoke anyway and just don’t care about people...

After a different crazy golf venue in Belfast let us down an hour before our booking, I googled for somewhere else in a panic as our visit was for my sons birthday. SO glad I found this place! So much fun!

Staff were so friendly, the course was clean and well kept. The boys (and my husband) had an absolute blast. They each said what a fantastic time they had and my son even said his face was sore from laughing. We will definitely be...

More fun than expected. It wasn’t too busy for a Sunday afternoon. Friendly staff and interesting little 18 hole course we played on with waterfalls and pirate ships and the occasional blast of the cannons splashing water of the mini lagoons! It took around 90 minutes for 5 of us to complete the course. Fun afternoon out that didn’t...
