It’s not every day one can play a few rounds all the while taking in the arts. Even so, Big Stone Mini Golf seems to blend these two distant worlds with ease. Situated along the rural countryside between Mound and St. Bonfacius, Big Stone Mini Golf is a 17-acre putter’s paradise. Created and owned by local artist Bruce Stillman, Big Stone received its ambitious start back in 2003. In an attempt to create truly functional art, Stillman and some fellow artists crafted the 12-hole miniature-golf course using a variety of wood, stone and metal elements. The end result was a whimsical landscape of mini-golf amongst intensely interactive sculptural terrain.
The creative layout features fun for all ages, with each hole offering a new artistic obstacle and challenge. Take the start of the course for instance, which is a forest of fossilized tree trunks with no clear shot in sight. Move through a few more twists and turns and you’ll soon find yourself squaring up against the overturned hull of a sunken ship. By the time you sink your last put you’ll swear you’d just been through one of Picasso’s daydreams.
But that’s not all Big Stone offers – far from it. Enjoy a game or two on the carved checkerboards, break out the basket in the picnic area or get nice and cozy around the fire pit – it’s your call. There are also several goats, miniature horses and chickens scattered about the property (should you need to seal the deal with the kids).
Big Stone Mini Golf is an absolute blast -- take it from me. You’d think I was being biased, considering my passion for golf, but this place is sure to please young and old alike.
