About Sky Pirates of Mermaid Bay Mini Golf
Looking for a mini golf experience that goes beyond the ordinary? Sky Pirates of Mermaid Bay Mini Golf in Pigeon Forge combines two imaginative 18-hole courses into one entertaining attraction. The standout feature is the rooftop course, which offers sweeping views of the Smoky Mountains while you putt through creative pirate-themed obstacles. The ground-level course immerses players in an enchanting mermaid world, complete with cascading waterfalls and colorful sea-life designs.
What sets this Pigeon Forge attraction apart is the attention to detail in both courses. The pirate course features authentic-looking ship elements and treasure-themed props, while the mermaid course incorporates shimmering scales, shells, and underwater scenes throughout. The facility maintains exceptional cleanliness standards, and the well-lit courses make evening play particularly atmospheric.
Families appreciate that one admission price covers both 18-hole courses, giving you the flexibility to play one or both during your visit. While serious mini-golfers might find the holes more scenic than challenging, the courses are ideally suited for families with children and casual players looking for entertainment value. The themed photo opportunities throughout the courses make for great vacation memories.
The location is easily accessible from the main Parkway in Pigeon Forge, with ample parking available. While course difficulty is moderate, comfortable walking shoes are recommended, especially for the rooftop course. The attraction appeals to all ages, though young children might need assistance on some of the elevated holes.
Note: Consider visiting during off-peak hours for a more relaxed experience, as popular times can draw larger crowds, especially during peak tourist season.
