Blackbeard's cave mini golf would benefit from a lot of tlc. The man-made river path that tuns through the place is dried up at most parts. And the sections with water are stagnant and dirty. The signs are all a little bit sunbleached. The clubs are old and feel almost sticky.

As for the course it self. The side bricks are mostly all there. Some crutial bricks are missing, sending some balls flying into bushes. The small fence separating the parking lot from the beginning has old and rotten wood poles holding up dellapitated rope. The cave hole is fun seeing the ball ride the side of the cave. But the cup was full of water, even though it is fully covered. And the later courses plagued with golf balls getting stuck in the courses. And uneven greens making putting a little difficult. Navigation is a bit tricky at times when multiple holes converge. Some painted arrows would help. The prize 20th hole, the 19th hole is a normal hole, has to many folds in the carpet to be exciting. Balls should have enough gravitational force to either fall into the hole or fall off. Golf balls getting stuck halfway down the plank can be a nuisance.

The one staff member in the entrance shack, was nice and helpful. It could be a nice place with some renovations.
