What are Lost Treasure Golf & Raceway’s hours?
We’re a seasonal outdoor attraction, so hours vary by day and time of year — generally opening around mid-morning, with earlier closings on weekdays and later hours on weekends in season. Everything is weather permitting, and some activities like the go-karts may open later in the day, so we always recommend calling ahead or checking our hours here to confirm before you drive out.
What is there to do at Lost Treasure Golf & Raceway besides mini golf?
We’re a full family fun park! Along with two 18-hole mini golf courses and a mining train ride, you’ll find go-karts, seasonal bumper boats, an arcade, and kiddie rides for the littlest visitors. It’s easy to turn a visit into a half-day of fun, mixing a round of golf with laps on the track and battles on the water.
How many mini golf courses are there, and how long does a round take?
We feature two distinct 18-hole courses — one that winds through caves and one that takes you past waterfalls — for a full 36 holes. Most groups finish an 18-hole round in about 45 minutes to an hour, with the second course ready whenever you want to keep playing.
Is there really a train ride?
Yes — and it’s a favorite! A mining train carries you to the top of the course to start your round, where you’ll choose your expedition. If you’d rather not wait for the train during a busy time, you can take the stairs to the top instead. Either way, the ride is a fun part of the adventure.
Tell me about the go-karts and bumper boats.
Our go-kart track is a hit with racers looking for a little friendly competition, and our seasonal bumper boats are a great way to cool off and splash around. We also have kiddie rides designed just for our youngest guests. Since the go-karts can have their own hours, it’s a good idea to call ahead if that’s a must-do for your group.
What’s the theme of the mini golf courses?
Our courses follow Professor Hacker’s expeditions in search of gold and diamonds, winding through a forest of palm trees, waterfalls, tunnels, hills, caves, and cliffs. The tropical, coastal scenery makes it as fun to look at as it is to play.
How much does it cost?
You can pay per activity, and tickets can be purchased online or in person. We also offer a discounted rate on your second round of golf, and money-saving options may be available — so check our website or ask at the ticket window for current pricing and combo deals. Group rates are available, too.
Do you offer discounts, specials, or a mystery hole?
Yes — along with a discounted second round of golf, we run seasonal specials (like a free second round on National Mini Golf Day), offer group rates, and let you save when you buy online. Be sure to ask an Expedition Guide about the Mystery Hole after your round for a chance to win a free game.
Can I buy tickets online, or do I need a reservation?
No reservation needed — walk-ins are always welcome. Tickets can be purchased online or in person, and buying online is a convenient way to plan ahead, especially during the busy summer season.
Is Lost Treasure Golf & Raceway good for kids and families?
Absolutely — we’re built for all ages. Little ones love the kiddie rides and the train, older kids and adults can race the go-karts and battle on the bumper boats, and the two mini golf courses offer just the right amount of challenge for everyone. Guests consistently praise how clean the park is and how friendly our staff are.
What’s there for younger kids specifically?
Plenty — we have kiddie rides made just for our youngest visitors, the train ride is a favorite, and the mini golf holes are approachable enough for beginners. The seasonal bumper boats are another big hit with the little ones.
Is the park wheelchair and stroller accessible?
The mining train helps everyone get to the top of the course together. If the train isn’t running, the top is reached by stairs, and the courses do include some natural terrain and berms — so if you have specific accessibility questions, please call us before your visit and we’ll be glad to help.
Should I call ahead before I visit?
Yes — it’s our top tip! Because we’re a seasonal outdoor park, hours change through the year, and some activities like the go-karts may open later in the day or be affected by weather. A quick phone call before you head out helps make sure everything you’re hoping to do is up and running.
Do you host birthday parties, groups, or events?
We do! With mini golf, go-karts, bumper boats, and an arcade all in one place, we’re a popular choice for birthday parties, group outings, and family gatherings. Contact us for group rates and party details.
Is Lost Treasure Golf & Raceway a good rainy-day or off-beach activity?
We’re a great “off the sand” family stop when you want a break from the beach. Most of our activities are outdoors and weather permitting, so if the forecast looks iffy, give us a call before you come out.
What should I wear or bring?
Comfortable shoes are a good idea for the stairs and course terrain, and since we’re at the beach, bring sunscreen and water to stay cool. Evenings tend to be more comfortable once the day’s heat lets up.
Is Lost Treasure Golf & Raceway open year-round?
We’re a seasonal Crystal Coast attraction, with our longest hours in the busy summer season and reduced hours in the shoulder seasons. Always call ahead or check our website for the current schedule before you visit.
Are there other Lost Treasure Golf locations nearby?
Yes! Lost Treasure Golf is part of Professor Hacker’s family of adventure golf courses across the Eastern United States. The nearest is Lost Treasure Golf in Kill Devil Hills up on the Outer Banks, and some locations feature extras like mazes and arcades — fun to explore if you’re traveling the coast.
What else is there to do near Lost Treasure Golf in Salter Path?
So much — our central Bogue Banks location keeps you close to the best of the Crystal Coast. You’re just minutes from the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and the beach, and a short drive from Fort Macon State Park, the Bogue Inlet and Oceanana fishing piers, water sports, ecotours, and the shops and restaurants of Morehead City and historic Beaufort.
