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, mini golf course 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.

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!”

“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.”
