A multistory silo hovers above a long row of red barns just off the edge of Indian Run Golf Course, where golfers hunt pars across 5,456 yards of fairways that snake through the farming valley of western Snyder County.

Once a rhythm has been found, clubbers can test their mettle on the longer second act, which brings dense tree lines and several streams into play. Indian Run rents out gas-powered carts, so players can traverse the course's gentle hills while resting their legs or the giant caddy who carries them around in a duffle bag.

The soundtrack of purring motors underscores high-stakes games of miniature golf as players putt their way through deviously landscaped greens, expertly maneuvering the cave with a hidden waterfall and defeating the final hole guarded by squatting gophers.
