Cool Crest Miniature Golf Course 1402 Fredericksburg Road, San Antonio, TX 78201

"Used to be a great kid-friendly place. The biergarten was especially nice for parents with children. A few years ago it was a great place to bring the kids, who could play with other kids while the parents could watch them, listen to the live music, and drink some beer. Unfortunately, it changed over time to the point where you rarely see kids on that side because of management and their changed attitude towards families with children. They started harassing kids who brought toys to play with. My son brought a back pack with his Polar Express train. He set it up with another boy, out of the way and not near any areas where anyone could walk. The manager brought the set over one piece at a time and slammed them down on our table. Several of my friends were there and were shocked by his behavior. For some reason he never did seem to like my boy and always found excuses to pick on him. This is the same manager who let his dog roam the place, unleashed, and whose dog attacked another dog on a leash with his very elder owner who tried to stop the attack only to be attacked by the dog. The elder gentleman had to sit for quite a spell to recover. Of course we know there is a fine for allowing a dog to go with no leash and, as well, as a business they could be sued for such carelessness. After a while I noticed there were rarely any kids showing up. One of the owners met with me to complain about my son running around. He told me there were some teenagers leaning against some railing in the biergarten area talking and he told them to go and sit with their parents. What teenagers do you know who would ever want to go back there after that? And what parents? It is sad to see the change at such a historically significant place. If they want to continue to generate business and grow they should understand it is supposed to be a family place, not a place where kids have to sit at attention while their dogs are free to roam around."

"YOU NEED TO VISIT THIS PLACE!!! My family had so much fun playing mini-golf and listening to some great live music with the Jaime Varela Band! Didn't hurt that I could enjoy a victory beer after a warm night and 18 holes of fun in the newly added Metzger Bier Garten - great draft and bottle selection! After our first time here, it's easy to see how this place has been around since 1929. It's good old-fashioned fun on an impeccably well maintained course (two courses w different difficulties) surrounded by beautiful flowers and landscaping. No cheesy windmills or funny faces to hit into, just challenging slopes and well placed traps to keep you on your toes! My kids are already talking about how we need to make this a monthly routine. We'll definitely be back!"

"First time mini golfing it was so much fun. Very cheap to play great courses. The staff makes you feel right at home and very knowledgeable. Great for a date, bday party, or company picnic."

"Unique San Antonio staple! Music on the weekends in the biergarten with no cover. Great craft draft selection."

"We visited this establishment for the first time last night and it was so much fun!!! The challenging course was super fun. The sushi was delicious. Mario at the bar is very welcoming and friendly. The employees were all very attentive and friendly. There was an all women Cumbia band and dancing because there is a dance floor and a stage that adds a nice touch to the whole atmosphere. We will definitely be visiting this place again."
