Sonny's Place Getting Bigger and Better

is getting a makeover.

In addition to all the activities that are already offered, a 7,000 square foot arcade will open this summer.

“We are trying to expand to give kids and adults even more to do, and since the arcade will be open all year round, it will give families a place to come not just in the warmer months,” marketing representative Jon Locke, said.

An expanded restaurant, which offers a larger dining area, is already complete.

In addition to the physical changes, the name has also changed. Formerly known as the Somers Golf Center, the name was changed to Sonny’s Place to honor owner Jerry Antonacci’s father.

“That is where the logo came from,” Locke said. “It is basically a caricature of him, and really represents the friendly, family fun atmosphere Sonny’s Place offers.”

In addition to mini golf, Sonny’s place offers a driving range, go karts, batting cages, a rock wall, and monkey motion. All of the activities are also lit for nighttime use.

“We are becoming much more than just a golf center,” Locke said.

Starting on Tuesday, Cruise Nights will be back at Sonny’s Place. They will take place every Tuesday from 5 p.m. until dark.

Sonny’s Place is also available for birthday parties and corporate outings so check out the Web site for more information.
