Fun Acre

This is how mini golf should be. The course actually has the types of holes that are fun to play: ramps, chutes, multi levels, etc. The surface may not be perfect but the style is what matters. And the price! I wish I lived in Springfield to play more often, as I have never come across another mini golf this cheap. The most fun mini golf course I have played. Kids or no kids, it’s great for all.

I use to take the kids but the last time we went there was a small group of teenagers one of which had an offensive t-​shirt with the word f**k on it. My kids are old enough to read and frankly I shouldn’t have to expose them to this kind of «free speech». I went to the owner in his shack and asked if he was aware of the shirt and mentioned there were several families with adolescent children playing at the time. He replies it didn’t matter to him. In replied that I might have to reconsider whether or not we would return as a family. He says, «It doesn’t matter to him he has too much business now!» Really? I was taken totally by surprise. Haven’t been back since.

This place is classic. Back in high school, I used to come here twice a week. The prices are unbeatable, and the course layout is way more varied than your standard «putt putt» course. If you’re a serious player, you’ll want to bring your own putter. Have a great round? If you score low enough, tell the people in the clubhouse and Roger will post your name on the Wall-​of-​Fame.

This place has been around for a long time, and it remains much the same over all that time. Granted, that means that some things could be updated. However, that also means that you will have the same great time you’ve always had for the same low price. Dates, family outings, etc; this is the place. A round of golf for adults is $ 2.25, less for children under 12. That’s 18 challenging holes with a lot of tricks and surprises.
If you are in Springfield and the weather is nice, check out Fun Acre. You won’t be disappointed!

This is not just a little mini-​golf place. It’s kind of a «warm weather tradition» among Springfieldians and probably Nixa residents, too. When it’s warm enough to play outdoors, there are certain places we locals know about. This is one of them.
It’s the smart place to go if you are on a tight budget. Or if you have all of the money in the world, but don’t want to part with it. Cheap mini-​golf. Fun batting cages. It’s a locally owned type of place.

For the price of the entertainment this can’t be beat for mini golf, & batting cages. MY family of five can spend hours there & that’s no small task for kids ages 6, 8, & 10.
It could use some updates to the course but understand we’re not talking pro golfing here & with the 19^th hole you can earn a free game…

I agree with the first reviewer: the mini-​golf course is fun, but the batting cages are the best part at this hidden acre of fun. There’s no easier way to blow off steam, at least for me, than to go smack a few balls around in the batting cages. And the prices seriously cannot be beat — $ 2 for golf, $ 0.25 for batting cages. Hooray for Fun Acre!

Back in the day this was my spot for:
1. First dates. I knew the course like the back of my hand, and I made many an unsuspecting guy feel like a fool when I handed their asses to them.
2. Doing something cheap with über-​fattening addictive substances nearby (yay Andy’s Frozen Custard!!).
3. Doing something cheap with «Springfieldian Mexican» food nearby (yay Mexican Villa!!).
4. Doing something cheap with the best margaritas and loosest carding policy in the city nearby (yay Celito Lindo!!).
5. Scaring small children & annoying their parents. A line drive from my friend Tyson caused the divot in the nose of the paper mache yet eerily resilient to rainwater turtle/​dinosaur, and it made a kid cry in terror. Eeeeexxxcelent.
6. Ultimate decisions on arguments. My ex and I found that rock, paper, scissors, while useful in a pinch, left too much up to chance, so we opted to settle our differences on the course in displays of mad golf skills.
Take the kids, take a date, take a bunch of retarded teenagers and take grandma and her hot new pool boy boy toy… they will all love it.

This place has an 18 hole golf course and 4 batting cages. The golf course looks like it’s homemade but still fun… and only $ 2 to play! But the quarter batting cages is where you have to be. You get 10 balls for only $ 0.25. I can play here all day. You don’t even have to wear a helmet because there are no helmets available, but who cares, I’ve never gotten hit in the head in the batting cages before. So yes, I would recommend this place.

Where in Springfield can you take 3 kids and 2 adults for a full round of putt-​putt (miniature golf) for under 10 $?
Fun Acre of course! :)
Today, my boyfriend, Anthony H and I went to Fun Acres with my 2 nieces and nephew. Wow, we had so much fun. I couldn’t believe it was still possible to entertain a group of 5 for a couple hours for under 15 $! We play 8 holes of putt-​putt and then after the miniature golf, checked out the batting cages. The kids said it was the best part of the day! They didn’t even notice that the facility is worn down and not as grand as others might be. For such a great price, I didn’t either.
The boy behind the counter is nice and will supply you with endless quarters for the cages. The only require 0.25 per each round… what a deal! We’ll definitely be back.
See ya there!
