The course has been open since March, but celebrated the reopening with a shindig on Saturday featuring food trucks and live music.<\/p>\n<p>One of the nation\u2019s oldest mini golf courses, the art deco-inspired course opened in 1929. While the history of Cool Crest\u2019s early years is unclear, Harold Metzger leased the 18-hole course from its original owners in 1937. They owned it until 2010, adding a second course around 1960.<\/p>\n<p>Sleep medicine specialist Dr. James Andry and his brothers purchased the property from the Metzger estate. In 2020, they opened a biergarten on the site named after the Metzgers.<\/p>\n<p>Businessman Bill Lyons and his family <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expressnews.com\/news\/article\/cool-crest-mini-golf-new-owners-casa-rio-21356664.php\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">are the newest owners<\/a>. They own Casa Rio on the River Walk and Schilo\u2019s Delicatessen next door. Schilo\u2019s is the oldest operating restaurant in San Antonio, dating to 1917.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re bringing Schilo\u2019s in food truck form to the new iteration of the golf course. The <a href=\"https:\/\/coolcrestgolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cool-Crest-Menu-2026.pdf\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">menu<\/a> features tacos and German-inspired items like schnitzel sliders, bratwurst and pretzels. The Metzger Biergarten continues to operate.<\/p>\n<p>A round of golf costs $15 for adults and $12 for children under 12, seniors and members of the military. Children under 3 can go on the course for free. And if people aren\u2019t satisfied with their first round performance, a second round is half off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The course also offers memberships ranging from three rounds of golf at $25 per month to unlimited golf at $65 month.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A nearly-century-old mini golf course in the Deco District is celebrating its reopening this weekend.
