Great course, but the experience felt frustrating and misleading. I told the employee I only needed 2 golf tickets, but I was charged for 3 because my 2-year-old son was with us, even though he wasn’t playing. I clarified multiple times that I only wanted 2, but there was a language barrier and the issue wasn’t corrected.
The arcade setup was also confusing. The sign says you can scan the QR code, add money, and play games, but after I did that, I was told I still needed to purchase a separate card and load money onto it. That ended up costing me an extra $15 overall.
To make matters worse, the employee was on a personal phone call the entire time, which made the customer service feel inattentive and unprofessional.

We stayed in Emerald Dolphin inn for one night and were very pleased with our stay. We have stayed in many hotels in Fort Bragg and had quite a few problems there.
This one was a very nice surprise. The location of the motel is great: right across the shopping plaza and 10 minutes walking to the ocean. The room was big, clean and well organized. It has a coffeemaker, a microwave and a refrigerator. The beds were comfortable and we slept really well. Even though the motel is close to highway 1, it was very quiet at night. The staff was very attentive and we got good coffee and nice snacks in the morning. The price was very reasonable. We are planning on staying for three nights there next week., and would recommend it to anybody. It’s not a romantic place, but it’s very good quality if you need a few nights stay exploring the area.

My 9-year old son *loves* playing mini-golf, so I’ve played in about a dozen different mini-golf parks in the past 6 months alone. This one was by far my favorite!
It doesn’t have all of the fun decorations that Golfland parks do, but the course itself plays more like an actual golf course than any other that we’ve been on. Slightly sloping greens that require you to actually “read” the green, lots of water hazards, “bunkers”, and “roughs” you will roll into if you mis-hit your shots, and doglegs that you need to strategize to get past (and can’t just count on ricocheting around).
Overall, a really fun and challenging (at least for mini golf) course!

Miniature golf at the Emerald Dolphin is quite fun, and can even be challenging at times!
Unlike other miniature golf courses, this one has a continuous water trap running through most all of the course! In addition to that, it’s very easy to fall victim to the water since many of the holes run right up to it with no buffer to stop the ball. Another fun element of this course are the “penalty” spinners located randomly throughout the 18 holes. Sometimes a spin can help you, other times it can be detrimental to your game. The course takes around 30-45 minutes to play through dependent upon how busy it is.
There is also an arcade with video games and pool tables. They do sell snacks and drinks inside as well, and offer a small side room for parties. There is a fair amount of parking and a good open field adjacent to the parking lot to take dogs for a walk or run.

Fun and affordable spot to take kiddos. Small course, not too exciting BUT it gives you something to do.
Cool arcade inside with pinball machines. Lots of prizes and did I mention they offer adult beverages? (Bonus!)
