Very friendly owners and workers, the owners made his course by hand has a inside 18 holes and an outside and a perfect indoor 18 holer for the winter. A PLACE YOU MUST EXPERIENCE!

Such a lovely and cool space! Had a blast, we used their party room for a surprise birthday party! They had the room decorated, basically all I had to do was bring plates for cake and the cake itself, everything else they had ready! When I had questions I messaged them thru their facebook page and they answered all my questions right away! The staff was super friendly and the food/ ice cream was so delicious! We definitely plan to come during the summer to do the outside course!

Best place ever. Great food. Best ice cream in Iowa. World class mini golf. A hidden gem for sure. Great service and huge portions. Cool atmosphere. Lots of bang for your buck. Family fun warehouse. Loosest claw machines I’ve seen since Thailand

We saw this place advertised on Facebook, so we thought it would be a fun afternoon road trip not far from the Quad Cities. Located in the small town of Delmar, IA, is a hidden gem of a family-friendly and fun for all establishment. What a way to keep the kids entertained in the warm summer days. The food is amazing, and the mini golf is top notch. Aside from the pirate ship golf course and alligator infested waters outside, there's 2 more courses inside. I am not sure, but I believe it's 36 holes total. So if you're ever looking for an inexpensive and fun activity for the family, keep this place in mind. For approximately $25-30 per person, you can have a filling and delicious lunch, mini golf, and get some delicious ice cream. I recommend the nachos. Hint: you can feed 2 kids on one order of nachos. It's huge!

My wife and I drive 40 minutes from the Quad Cities because we saw on Facebook that they opened an indoor adventure golf course in Jan of 2025. We ate a nice lunch consisting of street tacos and the bbq Mac’n cheese (both of which were excellent). The prices were reasonable and the staff both friendly and helpful in choosing our meals. The soda is in cans and the dining area is fairly small, but the atmosphere was pleasant and the bathroom was clean! Then we experienced the 18-hole pirate themed miniature golf course that is on two levels. The pirate theming was very cool with music from Pirates of the Caribbean, Goonies and others. The decor added to the atmosphere, including paintings, artwork and even some wooden ship parts. The course itself was fun but nothing too challenging or unusual. We weren’t able to check the outdoor course since it is middle of winter. I’m guessing we spent about 45 minutes or so playing golf, and then we got some ice cream before leaving. I got a chocolate cookie malt, which was very tasty! Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely come back in the spring to enjoy the outside course. The building and signage on the outside doesn’t look like much, but this is a very unique place with terrific atmosphere in a small town in Iowa.
