With it's Buccaneer theme, the course's nautical ambiance is perfect for it's sea-side location. The course slowly ascends as you play toward the 16th hole, where panoramic views of the course and the Old Orchard Beach area can be seen from it's perch atop the mountain. The 16th's green spirals its way down from the peak, offering a unique challenge as well as requiring a stroke of luck to match par. We all agreed that this was the most unique and attractive hole we have played on the tour thus far. Flowers abound throughout the well buffered, multi-tiered course, and colorfully accentuate the weathered bridges and rustic looking stone masonry with which the course is built.
Bullfrogs inhabit a pond at the base of the mountain, adding to the natural ambiance of the course.
The Par-48 course was challenging and fun to play. She confirmed our inklings through the first five holes, where she was crushing our hopes for a win by playing sub-par. We gave Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf high marks across the board. It is challenging, well crafted and fun to play. That, coupled with its Old Orchard Beach location, which offers convenient access to the beach as well as to all of the entertainment venues offered in the vicinity, makes this course a must-play.
