Benguela Adventure

Pirate Adventure Golf & Splash Park

Located within the acclaimed Benguela Cove Wine Estate, this family-friendly attraction combines the thrill of miniature golf with cooling water fun – perfect for those warm Western Cape days.

What to Expect

This 18-hole adventure golf course brings pirate legends to life through detailed theming. Kids and adults alike will putt their way through caves, over footbridges and under cascading waterfalls. The course is quite challenging even for adults, making it competitive fun for the whole family.

The adjacent splash pad offers water spraying and squirting activities that are a hit with younger children, especially on hot days. There's also a jungle gym for kids who prefer to stay dry.

Practical Tips

• Best timing: Weekday mornings are quietest, while weekends can get quite busy with potential queues forming by midday
• Weather considerations: The area can get very windy - check the forecast before visiting
• What to bring: Sunscreen is essential, and swimwear for children who want to use the splash pad
• Payments: This is a cash-free zone; only cards or SnapScan accepted

Food Options
