High Seas Miniature Golf, a pirate and nautical themed miniature golf course at 10001 Charlotte Highway, Indian Land, South Carolina, has transformed into Pirates Christmas!
This is a holiday attraction unlike anything that’s been seen in this area. The glowing lights give the impression that you’re immersed in a giant pirate’s treasure chest. The lights adorn the pirate ship and reflect off the water. There are amazing details to see in every direction, including snowfall, children’s activities, projection videos, a human-sized snowglobe for photo ops, and more.

It’s about 20 miles to the south of the center of Charlotte, and is very close to Pineville, Weddington and Ballantyne.
High Seas Miniature Golf opened in 2017 but this is the first year that they’re presenting the Pirates Christmas Experience.

It’s one of the most reasonably priced Christmas light experiences available. The price is for unlimited play the entire day and night.

Cost:
- $12 for adults
- $10 for kids (4-12)
- 3 and under Free
- Police, firefighter, military and veterans: Free (every day)

Hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.
- Friday: 12 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
- Saturday: 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
- Sunday: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The lights will go on at dusk, so although you can explore the facility and play mini golf during the day, you’ll definitely want to be there after the sun goes down. It’s open every evening, weather permitting.

Follow the pirates on their journey as they search for the Lost Treasure. A round of golf generally takes 45 minutes to an hour to complete, so make sure to arrive well before closing time. (Not to mention that you’ll want to take some time looking around this attraction!)
There’s also a beer and wine garden, Castaways, on the property, which will feature holiday drinks.

Make sure to check out High Seas Miniature Golf’s Facebook page or the Pirates Christmas Facebook page for ever more mind-blowing pictures. It’s also a good idea to check their social media or give them a call if the weather looks iffy, as that might affect the hours. 803-228-3143.
