   + THE MINIATURE GOLF DIFFERENCE

Why Settle for Second Best in your Miniature Golf Experience? Instead come to Big Don's.

There really is nothing else like Big Don's in the Syracuse area. You may only miniature golf once or twice per season. Why golf any longer at old fashioned courses or ones that were recently built but poorly designed or who cut corners in the construction process? Big Don's Wild River offers a resort-level course in CNY - like you see in Myrtle Beach, SC, Florida or Ocean City, MD, built by Castle Golf - recognized for designing and building award winning courses around the US and world. 

Big Don's has ambience with six waterfalls, three ponds, cascading rivers, a beaver lodge, 200-300% more water than any typical course that you're used to. Including, the widest play-through cave within 100 miles of Syracuse - get a tape measure out, we're not kidding! It even has an open view from inside the waterfalls! Speaking of waterfalls, ours are fed by two 15 HP pumps. Most other courses have one or two 5 HP pumps, or maybe one 10 HP. You know what more HP means? More performance, great sound and of course, more Fun! The soothing sound of our waterfalls can be heard from over 100' away.

  • Imaginative Wilderness Setting - Central New York 1750. Ambient Nature Sounds - our sound system plays nature sounds from the great outdoors to enhance your experience
  • Carved Wild Animals - chainsaw sculptures so lifelike you have to take a second look. Each year we have added to the carvings around the facility.
  • Yes, 18 holes... but Wild River's 18 holes are Big, spread out (30-50% more area than the other area courses) so you have more fun with your party while playing
  • Beautiful landscaping - Flowers and lush vegetation. We put in over 600 plants (not including flowers) to enhance your experience
