Golf like you’re in Austin

Two BYOB golfing options in Central Austin and they are across the street from each other!?!! Butler Park Pitch and Putt is always BYOB and always a lot of fun/dangerous. It’s a tiny hidden golf course right off Barton springs and Lamar. Fore! Peter Pan mini golf is across the street – BYOB starts at dusk. Peter has never looked so fabulous.

If it’s a special occasion, call ahead and ask them to put your name on the sign.
