Shipwreck Point Golf
Surf City’s mini golf has two 18-hole, pirate-themed courses with waterfalls and a shipwreck. It’s on NC 50, minutes from the bridge.
Why families go
Families call it an affordable, easy family night out. The grounds are clean, and two courses means a warm-up round and a rematch. Some holes are easy and a few edges aren’t fenced, so watch little ones near the water features. It’s partly unshaded, so evenings are best in summer. Recent reviews praise the manager, though older ones are mixed on service.
