The Backyard

Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸

A reminder that we are OPEN today but only until 6:00pm. The forecast is looking okay for right now (🤞) but we’ll let you know if anything changes

We’ll be back open for our normal hours after today!

It’s time for the best week of the Steuben County season! Whether you’re camping, living lake life, or just hunkered down in your neighborhood waiting for everyone to go back to where they came from (😂), we’re open for you!

Normal hours with the exception of Saturday, July 4th. We will close at 6 that day due to all of the celebrations going on that we don’t want our employees to miss.

Be safe this week and we’ll see you around for mini golf, arcade games, Michigan Pot Hole ice cream, and fun!

Hate to have it happen so soon (we’re closing at 7 tonight, June 21st) but it’s time for our yearly explainer on bad weather and our hours!

If it is drizzling or scattered enough, or is just one of those pesky afternoon thunderstorms, we try to stay open! The course may be a bit wet during or after, but for those brave enough to wait it out with some arcade games and ice cream, we stick it out.

If we have a consistent downpour or severe storms that make playing the course impossible, we will close. We ALWAYS post on our stories on both IG and FB, plus change our voicemail.

Please note that lightening will require us to close the course and we only issue same day rain checks.

Phew! Hope we covered everything! Some days we wish we had a giant cover over all 18 holes, but that wouldn’t give it quite the midwestern summer charm it has now.

✅new arcade
✅new parking lot
✅ice cream stocked & ready
✅18 holes of mini golf

After some very unforeseen circumstances, we are FINALLY ready to open!

See you tomorrow, Saturday the 20th at 2pm!
Hours will be Thursday through Monday, 2 to 9, $8 for adults age 7+, kids 3 to 6 pay their age.

Since we get a lot of questions, yes, the north course is still closed. Due to its age and the way it was built, it will not be reopening. We know everyone loved it (we used to beg to play before we took over in 2019!) but it is unfortunately out of commission. We’ll be looking into options for that space going forward, but we hope everyone will be just as excited about having a fun locally-owned business to take the family after a long day of camping or boating.

UPDATE: Now opening Saturday, June 20th.
Our parking lot is being worked on as I type this, but the timeline for completion has shifted a bit. We look forward to seeing you all next week!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s that time of year once again!
After a cold winter, we are excited for the 2026 season.

Our opening day will be Saturday, May 30th. We’re a little late this year, but for a good reason: we’re getting a newly paved parking lot!

We’ll be open Thursday through Monday (closed Tue/Wed) from 2-9 this summer, keeping our $8 for 18 holes price.
