User Reviews for Cool Crest Golf Course
12/25/2007 Posted by loosmoose
Cool Crest has a long and wonderful history pre-dating World War II. Created by a man with a vision the course was designed to challenge and entertain. You will not find castles, windmills, or even the Great Emancipator... but you will find miniature golf at it's finest. It became a passion of mine at an early age when I played "Green Acres" in Austin, Tx circa 1965... but it wasn't a patch on Cool Crest. Situated on the side of a steep hill, the breeze typically from the South East comes up the hill, being cooled all the way.. hence the name. The atmousphere is akin to an evening down on the river walk, coupled with a banana plantation and pleasant music from the 50's and 60's. It is a premier date spot, as you are guaranteed a good time. The course is challenging and inventive and features holes that you will never see at any other course. I have spent decades searching for it's equal and nothing has ever come close. Do to it's postion on the side of the hill, the holes will be two and three tiered and even one requires a chip over the flowing stream which laces through both 18 hole courses. At $4.00 a round, you simply can not find a better value anywhere. Open late in the Summers, this is a must visit for everyone local or tourist. Relax on the quiet patio before or after a round, and then go again... it's worth it.
Pros: One of the most wonderful spots in San Antonio period.
Cons: it is the only one... there should be more of something this wonderful.
