Play twelve challenging holes of pirate-themed mini golf with water features, bridges and adventure at every turn.

Forest of Dean Adventure Golf offers a uniquely designed 12-hole pirate-themed mini golf course set in the Forest of Dean. Each hole features different challenges and attractions, including a raft to cross water, bridges to play under, and creative water features that add excitement and difficulty to the game. The course was designed and built by the owners themselves over an 18-month period, resulting in a thoughtfully accessible venue where families of all abilities can enjoy quality time together. The venue provides comfortable facilities for all visitors, including a viewing platform and café serving hot and cold drinks, ice creams, cream teas, toasted teacakes, cakes and snacks. There is ample outdoor seating to relax and recharge between games or while watching others play. Young children can enjoy a dedicated play area to burn off energy. Visitors are welcome to bring their own picnic to enjoy in the designated picnic area before or after their round. Suitable for families with children aged 14 and under (who must be accompanied by a paying adult), Forest of Dean Adventure Golf welcomes dogs in the picnic area on a lead, making it an inclusive destination for family outings. The venue operates seasonally from late March, opening 10:30am to 5pm daily, with group bookings (12+) accommodated by prior arrangement.

Called in here with grandma and the kids. One of the best mini golf courses we've visited (and there have been a few!). Owners were lovely, and make great milkshakes and hot chocolates. They designed it and built it themselves, and gave us hints on how to play each hole... The kids loved pulling themselves across the little river on the raft and we had to play a second round to prove that my hole-in-one on the 6th wasn't a fluke. Turns out it was...

Took my 4 year old today as he has developed a love for mini golf. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit; felt very welcome from stepping in the door. Nothing felt too much trouble, the husband and wife team serving were great. Enjoyed a cuppa and a slice of rainbow cake (good choice) after our first round. Then were welcome to play again which was great. Lovely site, well maintained, quirky and different and fun to play! Will be returning. My son particularly enjoyed the fact on the last hole the ball disappeared and ended up back in the shop! (Magic at its finest!). Thank you.
