All fourteen holes are created by artists; this year's theme is "Bugs and Features," where "man and bug can putt away in harmony." It opened over Memorial Day weekend and stays in operation through the end of September. There's no charge to play, and it's open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

And just because you don't reside in some provincial suburban backwater where mini golf is the only thing to do on a summer night when you get kicked out of the mall, that doesn't mean you have to deprive yourself of the thrill and satisfaction of miniature golf. True, the DIY "Putting Lot" in Bushwick is a thing of the past, but here are five other places to get your Dorf on Golf on around town.
