Visit The William Vale’s Fun  Mini- Golf Course, Now Open for Summer 2022!

Mini golf this summer is right up there with Pickle Ball and The William Vale in Williamsburg per usual is on-trend this season having  launched a 9-hole mini-golf course called VALE(mini)GOLF located at the Vale Plaza. 

The admission fee for a round in this exciting golf course is $15 for adults and $10 for children under 12. The William Vale has partnered with NAMI-NYC (National Alliance on Mental Illness of New York City) organization where they will donate $1 of each player’s admission fee to the cause.

Don’t hesitate to visit this new spot this summer and enjoy a fun day with your family, friends and pets, as the golf course is also pet friendly! The course will be open on:

  • Wednesday-Thursday 1pm-9pm
  • Friday 2pm – 10pm
  • Saturday – Sunday 1pm-9pm
  • Monday-Tuesday (CLOSED) (subject to change)

Fun Extra:

Not only will you have a great time playing in the epic golf course, but you will have the beautiful view of the new mural created by Brooklyn-based artist Jason Naylor. The artwork with exciting and vibrant colors is part of a nationwide public art project called You Are Not Alone Murals which inspires artists to create work in their communities, sparking hope, connection and conversations around mental health. 

This project started in 2019 with 3 murals in Brooklyn and now has over 40 murals created by different artists and communities all around the world. 

After all that fun go grab a treat at Mister Dips, a retrofitted 1974 Airstream located at The William Vale’s public outdoor park. Mister Dips will be serving griddled burgers, waffle fries and refreshing dairy dips during the 2022 summer season.
