History

Established in 1929.

Cool Crest Miniature Golf in San Antonio, Texas is one of the oldest continuously operated miniature golf courses in the world.

he earliest records of Cool Crest’s existence, according to city researchers, suggest that the golf course initially opened its doors for business in 1929 just as the country’s first Great Depression began. That period between 1929 — 1930 also marked the onset of a miniature golf craze that swept the United States the following decade. The city of San Antonio itself boasted of having no fewer than a dozen miniature golf courses, mostly scattered around the downtown metro area.

Harold Metzger, a retired trucker, and his wife Maria leased the property from the original owners in 1937. At that time, there was only one 18-​hole course on the property, built mostly of wooden rails lining its fairways, and the Metzgers quickly went to work refurbishing the course.
