Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf is a themed mini golf course at 2 Wi Neera Drive in Porirua City Centre, next to Porirua Harbour. Players putt over pirate ships and waterfalls, through haunted treasure caves, and past shark-infested waters, with a cannon blast and crocodiles along the way. The website says it is designed for all ages with minimal skill needed, and describes the courses as high fun and low risk.
The course also offers night golf, group bookings, and cold drinks and ice creams for sale. Smaller groups do not need to book and can just turn up. A picnic area suits birthday parties, family get-togethers, corporate functions, hens and stag dos. The website lists school groups, holiday programmes and sports groups among its events. The site is part of the Adventure Golf company, which the website says is a New Zealand first, starting in Christchurch in 1997 and building Pirate's Cove in Porirua in late 2004. Our pick in Porirua for an evening round of pirate golf.
