Mini golf isn’t the only thing to do at Big Stone.  The grounds also feature rolling hills, picnic areas, life-size games, organic gardens, and grazing pastures for farm animals. Sometimes, a friendly goat might even decide to join you for a round of golf.

As if mini golf wasn’t fun enough, after you’re done with the course, you’re free to roam the grounds and visit with the farm animals, see the sculpture garden, or watch the goats play on Goat Mountain.
