A local miniature golf attraction has an unexpected form on display every day. Once you see it, you can't “un-see” it, thanks to Cindy Littleton.
- Pirate’s Cove is an International Drive landmark. It has provided Putt-Putt golf enthusiasts entertainment for decades.
- You’re likely to see Cindy Littleton there. She likely won’t be putting with you, but she will be enhancing your experience as you soak in the views and themes. She’s a scenic artist.
- Her touches are all throughout the mountains, caves, footbridges and cascading waterfalls. “Back in 2010, they needed someone to paint the little buildings they constructed,” she said. “I’ve pretty much been here ever since.”
- From beautifying buildings and rock formations, to Pirate’s Cove’s skeletons, Littleton works full time at the International Drive attraction. Before this, she created for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Orlando, Nickelodeon and added faux finishes around Disney properties and other entertainment destinations.
- Pirate’s Cove Adventure Golf was built in 1987. It’s next to ICON Park. The attraction is open daily from 9 a.m. until 11:30 p.m.
