Smugglers Cove Adventure Golf

While on vacation we drive past this place at least 10 times and it always looked like a blast! We stopped on our last night and it was so fun! It was well lit, as we played at night, and it was very clean and we didn’t have to wait for others during our game. There was also lots of seating along the course. They also had alligators you could feed. It was kinda pricey, about $ 30 for 2 people but I believe well worth it! Stop by next time you are close!

Smugglers is by far THE best mini golf I have ever played. The staff is friendly and the course has many unique holes (typically most mini golfs I have been to all have the same run of the mill courses… not smugglers). They even have cute baby gators at the entrance that you can buy food to feed. No worries… they are secured behind a big fence. A must do when in fort Myers.

We came on vacation and had a fun time. You can play a second round for $ 1.99. The alligators were a nice touch and the course was clean. Bring bug spray!

This is one of the nicest mini golf places I have ever been. It is clean and very well maintained! My husband and I had a blast.

Sehr cool! Es macht richtig Spaß! Die Bahnen sind sauber und ein richtiges Abenteuer! Nebenan schwimmen die Alligatoren und schauen einen zu.
Außerdem kann man viele Extras gewinnen ;) hin da!

Best designed mini golf course we have ever visited in the US. Very compact design, but very innovative course, lots of water features and the holes slowly wound to the top. Plenty of seating and walkways, holes were very tricky.
Don’t bother feeding the gators. $ 3 bought you a bag of nuggets to use on fishing poles. Kids were too short to see into the pit with the high fences.
Great course. Try it if in area.

Best miniature golf course I’ve been to. Very cool surroundings, nicely maintained, friendly staff. It’s a little pricey but everything in Florida is, totally worth the $$. I wish I would’ve paid extra to feed the gators! We had a blast! Highly recommend!

Nice course, but wow expensive!!! For 2 adults, one kid, and food pellets to feed the alligators– $ 50.00!

Holy mackerel is this place expensive! Over $ 50 for 2 adults and 2 kids! We really should have walked away but the kids wanted to play. The course is very cool and fun. The live alligators are interesting too. Still though, $ 53? Come on now. We should have gone for the $ 1.99 replay just for dollar cost averaging…

Really great! The holes were challenging, and that kept the game interesting. It was a really nice course, and its great for kids. Plus the kids can feed live alligators which is pretty cool. The staff is super nice, and the parking is pretty convenient. Only thing negative is that it’s a little pricey, but other than that it was excellent!

Played this course with my family today. Loved the fact that you could feed the baby alligators, it definitely added to the experience. The course was exciting and the first hole is on a pirate ship, the entire course is landscaped beautifully as well. The course wasn’t too challenging, my family had three hole in ones. One of the best mini golfing places in the area

There are more mosquitoes here than in the everglades and the owners don’t care one bit. We each walked away with at least 22 bites or more.

I took my dad here in a week day and we were the only people there. We goofed off and played a game or three. We also too some time to feed the gators! It was super fun!

We were on our way to another mini golf place but drove by Smuggler’s Cove and were instantly drawn in. This was the nicest kept mini golf course I’ve ever played! The staff was friendly and they had live alligators on site, definitely a cool experience.

This place is awesome. We went in the afternoon. I bet at night would be even more fun! I went with my grandparents and parents. We loved it. There are a bunch of refreshments and plenty of shade. try not to get your ball lost in the water.(That happened to me) and always try not to hit it too hard. The opportunity to feed the gators were unimaginable. Feed the gators! And keep it up smuggler’s cove!!!

Really nice mini golf course! Great atmosphere and nice people working there! Definitely recommend!

This is my favorite mini golf place in the area. It has a good combination of difficulty and fun. Course was clean and well maintained. There was a little area with a bunch of young gators near the entrance. Spend a few bucks to buy food and feed them, it is worth the experience. Just make sure you keep the food out of the water otherwise the fish in there will gobble it up! It is quite pricey to play here and that is the only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars.

We have been here twice. With kids and without. The place is nice but very overpriced. I didn’t care for the poor alligators that were trapped here either :(

Stellar greens, gambling traps, a gator pond and pirate poetry — on one course!
I’ve seen the old school, and Smug’s has grown-​up: reconditioned turf and immaculate care shown to the theme décor. First hole –BAM! –on a sinking ship. Seventh hole — KAZAAM! — functional watermill. Sixteen-​and-​a-​half hole — SAYWHA? — yeah, it’s a gamble: eight drops, one putt. Sink any of them to shave a stroke; miss ‘em all and add two. Feeling gutsy?
The course is moderately challenging, but with the remodeling and perhaps to be more family friendly, has lost a bit of its spark (sand traps removed, multi-​paths filled in, water hazards no more). The price tag is outrageous — $ 19 for adults is more than a walking a muni course in the off-​season. But with receipt, you can always play again later in the day for $ 1. Consider it for your inevitable Loser’s Revenge.
And did I mention the Gator Lagoon? Sure, it’s Florida and you can see that which possesses a death roll in your backyard, but here they’re tiny, abundant and encaged. So, there’s that.
Jungle is still my preferred course, but Smug’s is definitely worth a shot. Even if I can’t win here to save my life.

Amazingly well kept, friendly staff, alligators, nice holes.
5 STARS!

Something I’ve discovered since moving to Florida, I love mini-​golf. Whenever friends come to visit one of the places I have to take them is to Smugglers Cove Adventure Golf. First, before you even get to the course, there are alligators you can feed! Little bags of gator food can be purchased and the bits of food are eaten off bobby pins that hang on bamboo fishing polls.
Before each hole there is a riddle to give you a hint of how and where to hit the ball. These should be read aloud and with much gusto. The course is fun and mapped out really well. They manage to fit a lot onto the space provided.
I’ve read some people mention the upkeep of Smugglers Cove. This place has always been clean and well kept when I’ve been there. I can’t think of a single thing there I would call «run down» or «worn out.» The staff is friendly and always joking around with us. There’s always a ‘mystery hole’ where players win a free game of golf if they score a hole in one. I was lucky enough to win a free game on hole 15 during my last visit.
This is a great place to have goofy fun and not take yourself seriously. Bring a camera as there are plenty of photo opportunities.
