Pirate's Island Adventure Golf in Daytona Beach Shores is, per the channel that has played them all, the smallest course in the chain: 18 holes squeezed onto a tiny plot with the beach literally across the street. The films on this page — three full rounds from Brooks Holt plus family rounds back to 2011 — exist to refute the obvious assumption: compact does not mean easy.
How the little course defends itself
Trick bounces, filled-in ghost holes, hidden pipes, short shots that refuse to be simple hole-in-ones, a ball defying gravity on the lip. The 2026 sunset round ties 45-45; the 2023 round plays to a par of 40 with worn spots and weird kicks catalogued hole by hole. This is a course with fifteen years of YouTube evidence, and the evidence says it punches up.
The one-in-a-million shot
The 2024 round is built around the shot its title promises — a bounce hole-in-one Brooks had chased for years across the chain's courses, finally made here, on the smallest one. Elisha's own impossible lip-defying make headlines the 2023 film. Between them, the Shores course has a highlight reel most mini golfs would envy.
The family record
A scored friends' match finishes 56-51 on the last putt; a 2019 day-out vlog ends with a free rematch game after a filming mix-up; and two family films from 2011–2012 play the second 18 — fake snakes, water hazards collecting real balls, one very wet pair of pants. Fifteen years, same verdict: small course, real test, beach across the street.
