Where to Play Mini-Golf in Syracuse

Mini-golf. It's like golf, but smaller. For those who enjoy hitting a ball around but aren't ready for the commitment of full-size golf, there are plenty of miniature golf courses in the Syracuse area for you to hone your skills.

T-Burg Mini Golf
1966 Trumansburg Road, Trumansburg, NY 14886 - 607-387-PUTT

With 18 holes, a beautifully landscaped course, and extra attractions for golfers of all ages, T-Burg Mini Golf is an awesome mini-getaway for the whole family.

In addition to the course, which features over 2,000 native plants, they also have a playground, a massive corn maze, and an arcade. They offer birthday parties for kids at very reasonable prices.

At about an hour and a half drive from Syracuse, it's a bit far for a regular outing, but for a special day trip, nothing beats it. The area also features the Museum of Earth and a Science Museum, in addition to the East Hill Flying Club, which offers "discovery" flights so you can see the CNY region from above.
