Nestled under the shady canopy of beautiful banana trees and other lush vegetation, with the quiet murmur of its running brooks and fountains, and the kiss of a gentle breeze whispering through its gently sloping terraced courses, people of ALL ages will enjoy playing a round or two of golf here at Cool Crest. Cool Crest Miniature Golf in San Antonio, Texas is one of the oldest continuously operated miniature golf courses in the world. We are conveniently located on Fredericksburg Road at Interstate 10 just north of downtown San Antonio. The 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. In 2010, Cool Crest was designated as a historically significant site in San Antonio. 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. In 1959, the Metzgers re-engineered the original 18-hole course that runs alongside Fredericksburg Road. Now using concrete as its structural foundation, the business was also expanded at the same time with the addition of a second 18-hole course. Following Harold’s death in 1998, Maria Metzger ran the business until failing health forced her to close its doors around 2008. After her own demise in 2010, the Metzger estate sold the business in early 2013 to the Andry family, life-long San Antonio residents who wanted to restore the golf course to its original beauty and place as one of the city’s most cherished and family-friendly entertainment destinations. In 2020, the Andry brothers opened the Metzger Biergarten on the site next to the 1959 course. The new Biergarten features a bar with over 25 types of beer and wine, pads for food trucks, plenty of picnic tables and a stage for live entertainment.
