My husband and I adored this cute creative donation based put put. I will never forget this unique experience. My only advice is to use caution walking the course as it's hilly.

This was such a cool place! I am from the Chicago burbs visiting friends from Albany, and we made the trip out to Putt Putt Van Winkle. 100% worth it! The trip out there was incredibly scenic, and the setting was great. The course was challenging and fun. The couple who runs this establishment puts their hearts into their work, and it shows. We had a great time talking with them while enjoying ice cream. Fun place to take the kids, and the adults will love it too! Definitely recommend!

This place is awesome!! Really unique theme that carries through all the holes. We had the best time. The owners and people working were so incredibly nice and friendly! It’s free to play and you leave a donation in cash or on Venmo.

This is my favorite mini golf course of all time. The location is gorgeous and the course is so fun and whimsical. We only come to the area once a year but we always stop by and play. It’s free to play but you can leave a donation, plus there are cute souvenirs and ice cream / snacks. My kids love it but I might love it more.

If you're in the mood for some mini-golf, Putt Putt Van Winkle is a fantastic place to visit. The courses are nine holes each and quite long, providing a fun and challenging experience. What makes this mini-golf spot unique is the bit of history written on each post about Van Winkle's history, adding an educational element to the fun. During our visit, we were lucky enough to get in for free as the owner was still working hard on the landscaping. While the courses were a bit overgrown, they still provided a good challenge. However, there were a couple of downsides to our experience. The walking path to each course could use some improvement as it was a bit confusing and difficult to navigate. Additionally, some of the bricks were loose and could pose a hazard if not careful. Overall, if you're willing to overlook the few cons, Putt Putt Van Winkle is a great place to spend an afternoon with friends and family.
