Ahhh, August in Wisconsin.

The month when your lawn turns crunchy, your steering wheel becomes a branding iron, the mosquitoes achieve the size of small aircraft, and simply walking from the parking lot to the grocery store somehow requires a shower afterward.

Welcome to the Dog Days of Summer.

Fortunately, there's a better way to spend them.

Come play mini golf at Big Putts.

We’ve got giant dinosaurs. Giant chickens. Giant sharks. Wisconsin weirdness. Questionable putting skills.

And, perhaps most importantly in August...

AIR CONDITIONING.

☀️ Summer Fun Without the Summer Sweat

We love Wisconsin summers as much as anybody.

But sometimes Mother Nature gets a little carried away.

When it's 90° outside with enough humidity to make your shirt stick to you before you've even left the driveway, outdoor mini golf suddenly sounds a lot less charming.

That's where Big Putts Mini Golf comes in.

We're INDOORS!

You get all the fun, competition and trash-talking of mini golf without baking in the sun, getting eaten alive by mosquitoes or checking the radar every six minutes because there's another thunderstorm headed toward Wisconsin.

Hot outside?

Big Putts.

Raining?

Big Putts.

Too humid?

Big Putts.

Kids bouncing off the walls?

Ohhhhh yeah.

BIG PUTTS.

⛳ This Ain't Your Grandpa's Mini Golf Course

There are mini golf courses.

And then there's Big Putts.

Our 18-hole indoor courses aren't filled with generic plastic windmills and sad little fiberglass clowns.

Around here, you never quite know what you'll find.

Retired Wisconsin highway signs? Yep.

License plates? Absolutely.

Barn wood? You betcha.

A giant T-Rex?

Obviously.

A giant chicken?

Why wouldn't there be?

A giant shark?

We're starting to think you haven't been paying attention.

Big Putts is proudly weird, wonderfully Wisconsin and built for people who believe mini golf should be about more than just keeping score.

Although...

You should definitely keep score.

Because when Dad says, “I wasn't really trying,” after losing to his 9-year-old, you're going to want documentation.

😎 August Is Your Last Big Hurrah Before School

We hate to be the ones to say it...

But that giant back-to-school section at Target isn't lying.

Summer vacation is running out.

Before backpacks, homework, alarm clocks, practices, school lunches and the nightly search for “that paper I KNOW I gave you” take over your life again, there's still time to squeeze in some summer fun.

Grab the kids.

Grab Grandma and Grandpa.

Grab the neighbors.

Grab that one uncle who takes miniature golf WAY too seriously.

And come make one more great summer memory at Big Putts.

No reservation required.

Just show up, grab a putter and prepare for glory.

Or humiliation.

Mini golf can go either way.

❤️ Need an August Date Night?

Dinner and a movie?

Again?

Come on.

You can do better.

Big Putts makes a fantastic date night because you actually get to do something together.

There's competition.

There's trash talk.

There's dramatic putting.

There's the opportunity to discover whether the person you're dating is gracious in defeat...

...or suddenly claims mini golf is “mostly luck” after going six over par.

🚩 Red flag.

Whether it's a first date, 50th date or you've been married long enough to know exactly who's going to cheat on the scorecard, mini golf makes date night a whole lot more interesting.

🎂 August Birthday? We've Got You.

Summer birthdays deserve better than everybody being too busy to plan something.

Celebrate at Big Putts!

Mini golf is one of those rare activities where kids, parents, grandparents, coworkers and that ridiculously competitive cousin can all play together.

Planning a birthday party, family get-together, company outing or group event?

Big Putts makes it easy to turn “we should all do something” into something people will actually enjoy.

And nobody has to clean their house beforehand.

That's worth celebrating all by itself.

🦽 Mini Golf Should Be for Everybody

At our Waukesha location, the entire mini golf course is 100% wheelchair accessible.

That means players using wheelchairs can enjoy the full course alongside family and friends—not sit on the sidelines while everyone else has the fun.

Mini golf is better when everybody gets to play.

Period.

🤑 Don't Forget Our Weekly Specials!

August also means plenty of chances to save a few bucks while proving once and for all who the best putter in the family really is.

Mini Golf MondaySay “Happy Mini Golf Monday!” and play a round for just $10!

Tap-In TuesdayTell us “Tap-In Tuesday!” or give us your best “Tap, Tap, Taparoo!” and your round is just $10!

And then there's...

What the @#$&% Wednesday.

We'd tell you what the deal is...

But then it wouldn't be What the @#$&% Wednesday, would it?
