Our Story

Like
Yesterday

"Formerly Etter's Golf Center, The Acres has been a beloved gathering place along Mill Creek since the 1950s."

For seventy years it was a simple driving range, putt-putt and pro shop. In 2021 a longtime regular and a few friends bought it, kept the range open, restored the mini golf, and turned the flat-roofed clubhouse into a restaurant and bar instead of tearing it down.

A menu by LeRoy Ansley of Uncle Leo's: smashburgers, fried chicken sandwiches and house-smoked wings. Craft beer on draft, a rotating cocktail menu, seltzers and a few wines. Two 18-hole mini golf courses. Forty driving range bays, eighteen of them covered and heated. Trackman simulation technology. A four-season patio with fire pits and room to breathe.

“Absolutely phenomenal facility! Great food, clean facilities, can't think of a better place to bring kids and families on a weekend to keep them entertained. Owner is a super nice guy, very involved with the place. Can't wait to return!”
Justin Bresnen · via Google
“I don't know where to begin to describe how awesome this place is. Self serve range ball machine, open and private area driving range, 2 mini golf courses with a vast selection of REAL donated putters, cornhole, and the bar and lounge area were energetic yet inviting. The cherry on top was the light up entertainment walk through.”
