Pirates' Turf Mini Golf & Arrrcade

Description

Pirates' Turf sits on South Anderson Boulevard toward the quiet south end of Topsail Island, pairing an 18-hole miniature golf course with a retro arcade and an ice cream counter. Access the Beach bills it as Topsail Island's only retro putt-putt, and it draws a mix of vacationing families and locals.

The arcade leans nostalgic rather than high-tech, with vintage cabinets, air hockey, and Dance Dance Revolution spread across two game areas. Hand-dipped ice cream means a round of golf can end without a second stop, which is the practical appeal for families working through a beach-day routine. The counter also pours beer and wine slushies for the adults.

The business is well established locally. It is an active Greater Topsail Area Chamber of Commerce member, hosted the Topsail Young Professionals mini golf tournament in March 2026, and was a nominee in the 2025 Topsail's Top Choice Awards.
