The Acres

Everything you need to know before you visit

Where is The Acres located?

The Acres is at 9941 Reading Road, Cincinnati, OH 45241, in the Village of Evendale. Parking is free.

What are your hours?

Summer hours for Restaurant + Bar + Mini Golf: Monday 12pm–8pm ($5 Mondays), Tuesday–Thursday 11am–8pm (bar until 9pm), Friday–Saturday 11am–9pm (bar until 10pm), and Sunday 11am–7pm (bar until 8pm). The self-serve driving range is open daily 7am–11pm, including holidays (closed until 10am on Wednesdays for mowing). On $5 Mondays from 12pm–8pm, enjoy $5 mini golf and craft drafts plus a limited $5 menu of smashburgers and hot dogs from open; the full kitchen menu returns Tuesday.

Is The Acres open year round?

Yes. The restaurant, bar, mini golf, driving range and Trackman simulator are all open year round, including a covered, heated driving range and a four-season patio with fire pits.

Do you take reservations at the restaurant?

No — the Restaurant + Bar is walk-in, first come, first serve, and we don't hold tables. Bringing a group of 10 or more? Give us a call ahead so we can be ready for you, though seating is still first come, first serve. For larger groups of around 20 or more, a private event with a catering or group menu is the best way to lock in your space. (The Trackman room is reservable any time by phone or email.)

What's on the menu?

A chef-driven menu of elevated American classics — smash burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, summer sandwiches, smoked wings, loaded tots and fries, and salads — plus a full bar of craft beer, summer cocktails, wine and zero-proof options. Most sandwiches run $7–$14.

How much is mini golf?

Mini golf is unlimited play: $9 for ages 10 and over, $6 for ages 4–9, and free for ages 3 and under. There are two restored 18-hole courses, the Yellow Course and the Blue Course, open year round.

Is there a mini golf league?

Yes. You can create your own mini golf league Sunday through Thursday evenings — just $6 per person with 15 or more players in the league.

How much does the driving range cost?

Range buckets are $9 (small), $12 (medium) and $14 (large). The Acres has 40 driving range bays, 18 of them covered and heated. Download the Select Pi app or add a QR-coded range card for a discount and faster bucket buying.

What is the Trackman room and how much does it cost?

A private simulator room with an 80-inch screen and 250+ courses, cable TV and heaters for year-round use — perfect for up to 8 people. It's $50/hour for up to 4 people and $75/hour for 5 or more. Food and drinks from the Restaurant + Bar are welcome in the room.

How do I book the Trackman room?

Do you offer golf lessons?

Do you regrip and repair golf clubs?

Regripping is available on a limited basis while we update the pro shop — we hope to return to full-time regripping in September 2026. Grips generally run $11–$18 including installation (Golf Pride, Winn, Super Stroke, Lamkin and more). For a club fitting, contact your local PGA Professional, or visit Matt at 50 Yards Longer or Dave Mullins at Clovernook Country Club.
