Jurassic Putt

Cash only. Poorly maintained. With so many quality options in Nags Head, I’d head somewhere else. Recommend Mutiny Bay just a few blocks away.

I really enjoyed this putt! Most reviews said «great for kids» and «easy putt», but my boyfriend & I enjoyed it quite a lot!

Cheesy! Half the attractions were faded or broken. All the holes were the same, not fun or challenging. Will not return.

Nothing fancy, nice people. Not worth waiting in line.

Pros:
— The course is clean and well-​kept. Nothing was broken or out of place.
— The holes are relatively easy, so this is a good place to play with young children. All the holes are par 2, so nothing is overly tricky.
— There were no problems with mosquitos, a common issue with many other mini-​golf courses.
Cons:
— It’s a cash-​only business, which is not very traveller-​friendly, in my opinion. Any business that caters to tourists should take credit or debit.
— Although the simplicity of the holes makes it easy for kids, it was rather uninteresting for me as a grown-​up. A better balance of easy and hard would have made it more fun for everyone.
— Mini-​golf courses should have some interesting things to look at. Although there are some large models of dinosaurs, there was not much else going for it.
Overall:
A decent place to take the kids mini-​golfing. Just don’t expect the adult handlers to have as good of a time as the little ones.

Went to this place expecting a nice round of mini golf, but at 9 dollars a piece, it was simply not worth it. The holes were extremely boring. Out of 18 holes, maybe 2 were fun with obstacles/​water/​etc.
Don’t waste your time or money here. Very boring.

Typical cheesy beach mini golf. There are some challenging and some easy holes. Nothing too exciting with the holes.

Paper mache dinasours and the guy who ran the place cut the lights off while we were playing since it was closing time while we were on hole 12. Ignorant… dont waste ur money

Don’t let the cute decorations fool you! There are two 18-​hole courses but things got repetitive by the 9^th hole and I gave up because I was so bored. Probably only worth your while if you’re taking very young children.

It was fun, but not the most fun I’ve ever had mini-​golfing. They offer 36 holes, broken up into two 18-​hole courses, and before 5PM you can play both for the price of one. But in 95 degree heat, it’s just too much. The course is very basic. There aren’t many fun obstacles or challenges, just redundant curved greens. There are some waterfalls, and holes in caves though, which can be fun for little kids. The course itself is well-​maintained, but the decorations could use some updating.
If you are looking for basic mini-​golf, this is a good place, but I would recommend Mutiny Bay Adventure Golf (which I also reviewed).

A little bit expensive for what was offered, it was a very basic mini golf course. There were fun dinosaurs along the course though, and the kids seemed to have a good time.

Old and outdated… but we still had fun. Beautiful view of the bay!

This place is $ 8 per person. They have two 18 hole courses. It’s pretty basic with not too many bells and whistles. I’m sure there are better options out there. Keep driving north for better mini golf!

It is a very basic course when it comes to difficulty. But it is perfect if you are taking young kids. When I went, the landscaping and décor was in great shape, and the staff was friendly. My four year old son and I had a great time. If you like to play a challenging course, this is not for you.

If you don’t mind shelling out $ 8 for a game when a short drive north will provide you with more options at $ 5 a game, then this place is ideal for you. The holes were very boring to put it bluntly. There are some mildly attractive scenery but upon closer inspection most of the dinos are in disrepair. The gardens were well kept, but that’s not what I paid to see.
You’d be better to drive up the strip towards kitty hawk to one of the 4 other mini golf locations which are better kept, more interesting and cost less.

This was my favorite putt-​putt place as a kid. If you have kids, they will love this course. If you are an adult without kids, you might not like it as much, but you can hide, make dinosaur noises, and see if anybody believes that there is a live dinosaur on the loose.

This place — which is actually called Jurassic Putt — delivers on the promise of an elaborately-​themed dinosaur mini-​golf experience. The emphasis is on the décor and not the greens, but that’s perfect for young children. A little expensive but you get to golf as much as you want.

I gave this two stars because there were giant papier-​mâché dinosaurs. You can’t HATE that.
Feel free to hate everything else. Putt-​putt for $ 7 a game sounds a little absurd wherever you go. But look past the dinosaurs and you begin to realize that almost every putting green is exactly the same. Personally, I like to mix my putt up a bit, live on the edge.
Luckily, we glanced around first before wasting our well-​earned $ 14 to play what surely would have been a pitiful game for two. Instead we took our cash and went literally 20 seconds up the street to Blackbeard’s Golf and Arcade. Better greens for less green to satisfy the picky putter in you.
