Hickory Hill Mini Golf

Awesome minigolf! This is in the top 3 of minigolf places in the Syracuse area. This course is the hardest of the top 3 too. GGGAHHHHH THE CAVE HOLE WHYYYYYY UGGHGHGHG 6. Mosquitos are sometimes annoying so wear bug spray! Also, toward the end of the seasons I’ve seen a few bees nests on the electrical outlets so be mindful of them. I think they should also consider putting some sort of solid barrier around the base of the chain fence, I’ve seen a lot of balls roll through the rocks off the course and through the fence, which means patrons are having to jump over the fence to go get their ball. UGUGUGHGHG THE CAVE HOLE! EVERY TIME UGHGHGHG 6. You can be doing really good and winning the whole round until you get to the cave hole and get a 6, then you might come in last, but I love it, please don’t fix or change the cave hole, it makes us strive to beat that hole on a good round to get under par for the course! AAHHAGHGH 6 again! The best part of the cave hole is when you’re the last person to putt from the top and the next group of people starts gathering at the tee of the cave, you miss and your ball rolls all the way back to the tee with the next group of family members just watching your misery. THEN you have to putt from the tee again as if you’re in their family! If you’re lucky they’ll accept you as one of their own and take you under their wings for the remainder of the course while your group neglects you and moves on. Your new dad will make a cheesy joke about how your ball came rolling all the way back and your new little brother and sister will laugh when they hit their own ball up into the cave miraculously getting a hole in 1 and 2 respectively and thus proving the pecking order of your new family. You’re now on the lowest rung of the family of strangers that took you in as an adoptive minigolf member of their cave family. «C’mon, you can do it» your new mom cheers! Your new little siblings snicker as you hit the ball a little off and roll again ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE TEE! UGYURGHIRIGHDSRGHDOUGHDFGH THE CAVE HOLE EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! 6

Hickory Hill Miniature Golf is fun for mini golfers who love a challenge.
Ah yes, Hickory Hill. Home of miniature golf holes with water hazards, bunkers, roughs, and the dreaded 12^th-​hole-​cave-​of-​doom. This is the mini golf course your parents warned you about.
As the name suggests, this beautifully landscaped putt putt oasis is set into a hill. You start at the bottom, where one of two gently babbling creeks ends its long meandering journey through the front nine in a pond.
The first hole is a forgiving straight shot (short and easy). The second is lengthy, and if you gun it, the green will let your ball roll right off and into the pond (which is why they kindly provide a skimmer at every lagoon). And that’s two big things to love about Hickory Hill: their lengths are oversized, and feature many opportunities for your ball to do what you don’t want it to do.
The 12^th hole is a monster: your ball has a steep climb to the cave at the top. Once it gets there, if it doesn’t find the hole, or a rare niche to cling to, your golf ball will roll all the way back down the hill to the tee. There’s a 90% chance you’ll max out your six strokes. Don’t be mad — just get more holes in one on the front nine.
Overall, this Hickory Hill is a ton of fun to play. I recommend it for family fun and World Minigolf Sport Federation (yes, it’s a thing) wannabes alike!
