What a cool mini golf course! 14 holes and tons of sculptures! Each hole is uniquely designed and can be quite challenging! It gets busy, but they space out people when you buy your tickets. Cash or check only. While you're waiting, there are goats to feed, sculptures to see and plenty of space to walk around. Great course, worth the drive!
What a unique place. The mini golf is okay , but the real attraction is the unique art sculptures displayed all over the grounds. They also have a petting zoo complete with goats and chickens.
Been going here since the early 2000's and it keeps growing! This is such a unique place that you can't find anywhere else. The mini golf is both artistic and fun for all ages. The rest of the property features numerous large sculpture, many of them being interactive and great photo ops. Then there's the option to feed the goats! It looks like people do birthday parties there now too but I'm not sure if it costs anything or if an area has to be reserved. Please try this place out. It's worth the drive and very reasonably priced.
Bring cash- they don't accept credit cards. $14 for adults This is a really unique mini golf course. Each hole has a lot of art work to appreciate. They also have an animals on site and sculpture garden. Super fun place to spend a summer afternoon. The drive around lake Minnetonka to get there was gorgeous. They have a large parking lot.
My granddaughter and I loved it. Taking whole family next time. The price was not bad for all the art work you can see.
Magical experience! So much more than mini golfing. Kids of all ages will love it here. As little or as much walking as you would like!!! Highly recommended
Had a great time. Parking- busy day, and with a wedding being held there, spots were limited. When leaving we noticed many cars parked along the road. Mini Golf- two points: 1)be patient. Others before you may be slow, so you might have to wait a bit for the next tee. 2) hole 11 was hard to find. We circled around before realizing it was mere steps away from 10. Afterward, I noticed two other groups having the same issue. Sculpture Garden - definitely worth checking out. Walk the grounds, and enjoy the art (beyond mini golf area). Amenities- there are two bathrooms, a hand washing station near the goats, various picnic tables (they don't sell food, so bring your own snack/beverage),and random games (chess, ping pong). It was fun and worth the visit.
Big Stone Mini Golf is a cute and creative golf course with many fun holes. It is only $14 for adults and $12 for children - no credit cards though. I arrived midday and, as expected, it was pretty busy. Even with a bit of a wait between holes it was fun to experience the artist and somewhat challenging holes. The biggest downside is that the course is not super well kept up. The green is very worn out and a lot of the tee stands are missing from the holes. Even so, we had a fun time. In addition to the golf there is a lot of other sculptures to wander around and see. There are also some yard games like corn hole and table tennis available to play. Last but not least, you can also look at and feed the goats (for an extra cost). They are super cute and were loving the snacks.
Definitely the prettiest spot that I've ever had the pleasure of playing mini golf. Plenty of shade, tree, sculptures, even water features, AND I got a hole in one. I played my best mini golf game yet! We played here while visiting from out of town, and it was a perfect addition to an already relaxing day. There were a lot of great photo opportunities, and I love that the goats can be photographed but not bothered by guests. There are very limited snacks and drinks available for purchase, so plan a meal elsewhere before or after. Have fun!
If you want unique and fun mini golf, this is the place! 14 holes of creative, challenging and unique golf. Lots of cool sculptures both combined in the mini golf holes and course, plus even more in the "back" lawn. Goats, a highland cow, a miniature donkey and more. We had a blast and the owners are super kind. Note, the course is almost all shaded which is lovely, but the mosquitoes were bad. Bring bug spray or cover up if they tend to like you. Our daughter got bit a lot with huge welts but the other 4 of us were mostly unaffected.
We had so much fun at Big Stone recently! This place is one of the more unique locations to play mini golf in the Twin Cities. The course is set up on an area of land that has taken unique sculptures and turned them into a fun family outing. We arrived on a Saturday at about 15 min past opening and we're glad we got there early. People started flooding in and the lines were roughly 40 deep by 11 just waiting to start. Parking is in a dirt field but plentiful. The setup is not the most organized for waiters from what I could tell, you pay admission grab your putter and ball and then just have to wait. There is plenty to see on the grounds but if you are coming primarily for mini golf, get there early! They don't seem to limit groups sizes either so if you have a party of 5 or 6 (or more) ahead of you prepare to just keep getting backed up. The course is minimally maintained. Balls roll all over the place and there isn't a rubber area to start so you just kind of guess and hope your ball stays put. But, the whole reason you come here is the sculptures and the grounds; and they are worth it! Each hole has a different artistic take and after you complete your round (or while you wait) you can wander the huge area to explore even more sculptures and animals. There are plenty of places to bring a blanket and set up for a picnic lunch or just wander and enjoy the art. There is a giant chess board and a unique ping pong setup as well. The location also has donkeys goats and chickens to observe as well! If the weather is nice, plan on spending a few hours with golf, a snack or lunch you bring and just enjoying the grounds. I will say the admission for golf is a bit pricy at anyone 9+ being $12 and 8 and under $10 but it supports a non profit for local artists and includes access to the entire space plus golf. One thing to note is that they are cash or checks only; no electronic payments and closest ATM is about 5 miles away. If you haven't been, it is definitely worth a trip out to Minnestrista to experience!
This is a *must-do* if you are looking to do something with kiddies, and a fun alternative activity if you're just sick of walking the same old path. We took our 5-year old grandson here and spent a fun 90 minutes traversing the creative mini-golf holes, followed by a romp around (and on top of) many of the fascinating sculptures spread throughout the property. Now, I'm not easily impressed by whimsical art, but this guy has brought a lot of neat ideas to life. When I wasn't trying to keep up with my grandson, I was admiring the workmanship and design of most of the dozens of large sculptures. They have built something quite incredible and unique here.

Such a great mini golf spot! It is fully outdoors and you could spend a whole afternoon walking around the property and checking out the animals, sculptures, and other random games they have on site. It's cash/check only so come prepared! Each hole is unique with fun obstacles or twists, keeping it exciting! This is easily one of the best outdoor mini golf spots I've been to. read more

Fun! This the best mini golf ever! It was so fun and the holes were unique and interesting. In addition to mini golf there is an a large chess set, checkers, animals, goats, sand traps and water hazards. It was so fun. We have to go back. Just an all around good time. A young man really wanted to golf hole 10, so we invited the five year old to gold the hole with us because his mom was taking care of two tuber kids. He beat us soundly. Again, you need to plan a day out and go golf here. You won't regret it! Oh, cash only. No credit cards, checks. read more
Best mini golf course I have ever been to! We had to wait about 25 mins til we could golf, but it was totally okay because there were so many sculptures to look at and even baby goats to entertain us! The courses were actually pretty challenging too. There were not a lot of opportunities to get a hole-in-one, although we ended up getting one! Definitely a fun activity for the family, or even a date day! Would recommend. read more
This place is amazing! Our friends recommended to it, and so glad they did! The course is not huge but the creativity for the courses is amazing! There is one where you shoot on a ramp, through a hole and into a tree log. Another has a pinball type area. A third is under a boat! Then, as if mini golf isn't enough, there are animals, statues to admire and take fun photos with, a ping pong table, corn hole, bocce ball and just lots of beautiful open space. Enough stuff where you should plan on spending a few hours there. Cash only though, so come prepared. read more
Too hot to play regular golf so why not try mini golf. I recently read two different magazines that recommended Big Stone Mini Golf...it was a sign and we didn't want to upset the golf gods. It was a lovely drive past lakes and country roads to get there. Golf was $12 (no credit cards). The holes were challenging, including a couple par 5s. It's only a 14 hole course which would normally be my perfect length but for mini golf, wish we would have had the full 18 holes. They were surrounded with beautiful art and some mist machines to keep patrons cool. For the record, husband beat me. There were lots of shade trees which also dropped tons of twigs and cotton, so that made it even a bit more challenging. Don't leave without walking through the art park. I so enjoyed that part. Many different materials were used to creat creatures, mobiles, and even a ping pong table. Great day. Fate and the golf gods were right! read more
Sooo much fun! Before making the drive out here, please note it's cash/check only! We got here early and spent about 2 hours, but had we packed a lunch, we could have stayed even longer. We did the 14 holes of mini golf, explored the sculptures and petted the goats of course :) read more

Fun mini golf course. Interesting sculpture garden. Perfect for a quick day trip adventure. The only negative was the grass parking area was real muddy from rain the night before. read more
Such a neat place!! The wait can be a bit long and all transactions are cash-only. The wait can be long even though groups are assigned a time slot to start on the first hole. Often there is backlog waiting to move to the next hole. Each hole is so unique and fun! There are also a good amount of sculptures and decor along the course and it's fun to look at and sparks conversation. The holes vary in difficulty but none are overly frustrating. The course is mostly gravel, and I did see one person slip, so watch your steps carefully. Besides the course, there are COWS!, other animals, sculptures, a petting zoo, yard games, and a pond. read more
There is a little preview of what is to come inside which makes it such a super cool spot. The mini golf is fun and there was 14 holes which seemed to be just enough as it was a pretty busy day taking a little longer waiting for a larger group to get finished with the courses. I liked that they were all a little challenging and pretty different. I love the incorporation of the sculptures. The fact that they extended the sculptures into the park was so much fun. I really enjoyed the walk around seeing all of them. Beyond this they have animals like goats and roosters spread out. If mini golf isn't for you there are giant sized chess pieces, ping pong, and table hockey. I think there is ice cream and snacks for purchase as well. What a fun place to be able to keep coming back to! read more

This place was so cute! The mini golf was affordable and each hole had its own either sculpture or special thing about it. Overall this place is huge and when you're done mini golfing you can walk quite a bit and see stand alone sculptures, some farm animals, and more :) highly recommend! read more

OMG! How did I NOT know about this place! I will go back just for the art. We took our kids for a little staycation. The mini golf course was so nice and well thought out. Creative, modern and fun. Customer service was stellar. Nice bathrooms, plenty of tables to picnic. And you could even feed the well cared for goats. Those were some of the shiniest coats on goats I've ever seen. Their coats were so healthy. There was ample parking. Our kids were so slow but we never felt rushed. It was a bit of a haul from south metro but well worth it. So fun! They had snacks and stuff available for purchase. The animal feed was $1, and plenty of it. We chatted with the owner and he was so friendly. He chatted us our kids, teaching them about some of his art, the materials used. I'm so pleased! read more

Wow! Haven't played mini-golf here yet...I just came for the Sculpture Garden..but still a really cool and amazing place to visit and enjoy all the amazing art-work located both on the course and inside the farm-house. Did I mention the absolutely CUTE farm animals? An amazing experience just a short drive from the cities. read more
A neat mini golf spot. The peculiarity of it reminded me a little of like something you would see on Portlandia. The place is not easy to find as it's not visible by the main road and you take a frontage road past houses to get there. The coolest part is that this is essentially an artist's sculpture garden infused with mini golf. Oddly there are only something like 14 holes. Each one is unique and some are fairly difficult to even get par. I don't remember exactly but I think we paid $8 each. To add to the oddity is a fenced area with a bunch of goats and a ram. There were also some chickens wandering around when we first got there. read more
