Soft-serve flavors
rotating all season

Farm-fresh & local

The Dairy Bar

Our red-barn ice cream stand pours ten rotating flavors of Upstate Farm Creamery soft-serve alongside Perry's hard-scoop favorites, and stacks them into sundaes, shakes, floats, banana splits, dips, cones, and candies.

Cold brew on tap, bottled options, and hard seltzers & ciders (21+) round it out. Open to the public โ€” you don't need a tee time to stop in for a treat.

Soft-Serve

Ten rotating flavors from Upstate Farm Creamery, served in cones, cups, and dips.

Hard Seltzer & Cider

Grown-up refreshments available for guests 21+ โ€” while the kids keep playing.
