June 25, 2024 Tuesday afternoon Pirate's Cove. North Conway, NH Eight of us went to Pirate's Cove which was part of the Comfort Suites or some hotel there on the main street in North Conway, a small town at the foothills of Mt. Washington in beautiful New Hampshire. I know Pirate's Cove Mini-golf from Cape Cod which was a fun activity way back in High School. This one was amazing because it had 36 holes, basically two courses in one. You could go for a challenging course or you could go for an easier course. We opted for the more challenging course called Blackbeard's challenge. The high score should be 44 strokes over 18 holes but I scored a 41! I won in my party of 4 with 2 holes in one. Thank you thank you. Some were challenging and some were easy but the pirate facts were great and the employees were locals and it was $11 for a great hour and a half. Also 4 years old and under are free and they should be as one in our group was under 4 and they kept retrieving golf balls I hit and giving them back to me. D'oh! Thanks Pirate's Cove and I bet the next time I can get a...
Read moreVery disappointed. 2 younger kids eating behind the counter seemed miserable. Started to rain half way through so unfortunately my wife and 2 kids decided to wait in the car while my friend and I quickly finished. Normally they do a thing where they roll a dice and the number it lands on you get a free game if someone got a hole in one. We had between the 5 of us, 5 hole in one's. Got to the desk and the kids seemed angry working there, said their dice was stolen and were unable to just say a random number 1-18. Very dissappined to say the least, I'm a local and I'm now unfortunately going to avoid this place next summer, especially if younger kids are working the counter who clearly don't want to be there.
As a side note, would of been nice if they could swallow their food or cover their mouth if they're going to talk with it full.
I do want to end this somewhat positive though, the landscaping was nice, kids loved the flowers and the course was as fun as always. Outside the staff and unplanned...
Read more7/27: Hours state they close at 9pm. Refused to let me and my two kiddos play at 8:30. Poor customer service, or just lazy. Not sure which.
Update: 7/28. The manager of the hotel offered us free mini golf, it was a nice gesture, but I respectfully declined as I don’t mind paying. My wife went into pay for us, and again, two miserable employees. You work at a mini golf course, if you don’t like your job, leave. When my wife tries to ask questions and doesn’t get an answer because the two 20 year olds are buried in their phones, showcasing exactly why Gen Z has the reputation they do, they shouldn’t be mad when I leave an honest review.
The mini golf course is wonderful. Very fun, great shape, etc. Also, the response provided by the hotel employees (not the mini golf employees) after they read my initial review was very much appreciated. 5 stars for hotel employees. 0 stars for the miserable kids working the...
