What started in 2023 as a dream to bring affordable fun and a destination for true putting to New Braunfels has grown into a Hill Country hangout<\/a> where visitors can play a round, take in the views and make memories with friends and family.<\/p>\n

Now, Sip N Putt <\/a>is leaving the place where it all began.<\/p>\n

The popular mini golf destination will close its original location in December before reopening at a new location in February 2027, the business confirmed to MySA.\u00a0The move was prompted by increasing rent at the current location, Sip N Putt said.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re incredibly grateful for the support our community has shown us over the past three and a half years,” Sip N Putt tells MySA via email. “Everyone who has come out to enjoy the views, play a round, and make memories with us has helped make this next chapter possible.”<\/p>\n

While the original location is closing, the business plans to carry its signature 18-hole putting experience into its next chapter, with additional golf-related activities, food and beverages planned for the new location.<\/p>\n

Sip N Putt’s original course was designed around the natural elevation of the property, with beginner, intermediate and championship levels. Owner Bret Shallenberger previously told MySA<\/a> that the concept was inspired in part by the realistic putting experience popularized by PopStroke and Tiger Woods.<\/p>\n

“There wasn\u2019t a big company or a big budget behind it,” the business wrote in\u00a0social media post announcing the move<\/a>. “There was an idea, a lot of hard work, and a belief that we could build something special for the Hill Country community.”<\/p>\n

Over the past three and a half years, Sip N Putt has grown beyond its putting greens, becoming a destination where customers can enjoy Hill Country views, drinks and time with friends and family.<\/p>\n

Now, the business is taking that concept into a new home.<\/p>\n

“While moving an entire venue certainly isn\u2019t easy, we love what Sip N Putt has become for the Hill Country, and we\u2019re not ready to stop now,” the business said via email to MySA.<\/p>\n

The popular mini golf destination will close its original location at 7420 I-35 N. Frontage Road in December before reopening at 225 Watson Lane W. in February 2027, the business confirmed to MySA.<\/p>\n

For now, the original course remains open.<\/p>\n

Sip N Putt is open from 5 p.m. to midnight Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to midnight Saturday and noon to 11 p.m. Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
