Details (From Flyer Above)

Parents and grandparents can start heading over after the 4:30 game so usually around 6:45-7:00. We will have the front deck at the barn  reserved (umbrella tables and chairs), and we have many ADK  chairs scattered about… so you can sit, relax, grab a beer or soda (no outside alcohol allowed as per NYS law), use the bathroom, and chill until your group arrives. 

We schedule the  parties from approximately 7:15- 9:30pm.. as this allows us to  utilize the barn for your food and allows an indoor/outdoor option if  weather not cooperating. We do not charge a fee for use of facilities as  we expect people to golf and utilize the activities available. Beer and hard  ciders sold here are allowed on the golf course. We have chairs, tables, ADK  chairs all around.  

We charge a group rate for those parents/children who are miniature golfing. The group rate (and this is for everyone, including siblings) is $9.00 per person for miniature  golf (per game- not unlimited play.) Your team needs to decide ahead of time  if they will be paying individually or if the Team Organizer will foot the cost of a  group of golf tickets to hand out to the players (this is what most teams do)… be  clear about this because the kids (and parents) arrive and think everything is paid  for, and kids tend to start grabbing things. Also, we do require some parents to  be outside with their kids (you can bring a drink!)… keeping your eye on  them. We simply do not have staffing to watch all the kids, and there are other  families utilizing the golf course. For the safety and enjoyment of everyone, this  is important (plus the kids love it when parents play!) Often teams will have  parents pay for additional activities for their kids.

How it works:  

You reach out to a catering business (Tickled Pink BBQ, Sals Pizza , NY  Pizza, Maskots, Grand Union (do nice subs!), (many restaurants in town Bocca, Upstate Grill, Mels, Brooks BBQ Chicken) and order your food from  them. Some of them deliver, and some don’t. We can help set it up in the  barn, in a buffet-style, utilizing our counters. We provide utensils, serving  spoons, napkins, cups if you need, etc.. People get a plate, move through  the line to take the food, grab a drink, and go sit where they are  comfortable, inside or outside. We can help serve as well. Tickled Pink  also has a food truck that they can set up and bbq on site.  

You decide if you want the group eating all together at same time… if you  want the players to go first… etc… so that it is understood within your group. Many teams are starving when they arrive. so they eat first and then pass out tickets to golf, do a few other activities (with a few  supervising parents), have an ice cream, regroup to give a toast, and then  start to wrap up. Some teams have kids golf and play, and come in whenever they want to eat. Some teams have a number of siblings who get to the barn a bit ahead of the team, and they go right out and get  started playing with a couple parents outside watching them from an ADK  chair and beer in hand (but keeping eye on them so they are not running  around).  

If you have a special celebration, toast, gift for coach, a birthday, etc., decide when you want to do that so you have the group together. If you  need to store some food, a cake, etc., you can always drop it off early and we can take care of it.  

So, it is a combination of being flexible (as the game may run long) but also  having some plans as far as how you want to organize the time…As long  as you have the food figured out… and there is cold beer on tap… we  always have fun.  

We hope this helps!
