Pirate's Cove Original Adventure Golf & Family Fun Center in Wisconsin Dells

A look at the Pirate's Cove Original Adventure Golf & Family Fun Center in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, USA.

It's been brilliant to see different minigolf courses around the world thanks to the photos and information sent to us from friends from their travels.

Back in 2015 our friend and minigolf rival Mark 'The Horse Whisperer' Swain visited the USA and very kindly brought us back scorecards from the mini golf courses he visited out there.

One of the places he got to visit was Pirate's Cove Original Adventure Golf & Family Fun Center in Wisconsin Dells where he found five minigolf courses!

At the Pirate's Cove Original Adventure Golf & Family Fun Center you can play Black Beard's 18, Captain Kidd's 18, Pirate's Lookout 18, Pirate's Challenge 18 or Captain Hook's 19.

20 for 20 - Minigolf guest blog posts from around the world

20 for 20: 20 years of our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

This month we're celebrating two decades of our crazy minigolfing adventures.

During the last 20 years we've received minigolf guest blog posts from 31 countries - and international waters!

Over the years we have met so many people and made some great friends, many of whom have contributed to our travels by telling us about new courses, letting us know about course refurbs, or by sending over photos of courses they've been too. We've also received excellent photos of miniature golf courses from our family, friends, our networks, and course owners, managers, designers and builders themselves.

Guest blog posts from 31 countries.

Since I created the Ham & Egger Files blog in 2006 we've published guest blog posts about a variety of minigolf courses in England, Wales, Scotland, Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, Croatia, the Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guernsey, Indonesia, Italy, Kosovo, Latvia, Luxembourg, Morocco, the Netherlands, Oman, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain (including Lanzarote, Tenerife and Majorca), Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye, the USA, on the high seas onboard the MSC Opera cruise ship (sailing from Italy - to Montenegro - to Greece), and even North Korea!

What makes it extra special is that these guest blog posts have captured a minigolf course in a moment of time, and in some cases such as pop-ups and courses that are now closed - courses that we'll never be able to experience for ourselves.

It's wonderful seeing the variety of courses around the world, and also how many places you can find to have a round of minigolf.

Some of the courses our friends and family have been to are far flung, and even some of those here in the British Isles are in places off the beaten path or in island locations we haven't had the chance to explore yet.

Minigolf courses around the world.

Here's a (very small) selection of photos from the many many many guest blog posts we've gratefully received over the years! You can see more in this blog post and in these guest blog posts.
