Subpar Miniature Golf

Great service and fun time with friends
I'll be sure to visit again soon
The lady in the front was very helpful

This place is located inside Ghirardelli Square and I've been meaning to check out it out for some time. Definitely worth checking out at least once. 18-hole miniature golf place highlighting iconic landmarks in SF. And for only $14!

Reservations recommended, but we got lucky and were able to snag a reservation. They also serve food, beer, wine, and some non-alcoholic refreshments, including boba!

I think my only safety concern was that there should be some protective barrier at the end of the Sutro Tower course. One other group and ours ended up with the ball flying off course and into the walkway area.

Aside from that, we had a lot of fun and what a great way to go sightseeing in miniature golf form!

Arrived at around 7:30 on a Thursday with two friends and we were able to start playing immediately without a reservation. The venue wasn't crowded, offering plenty of space to move around.

At the entrance, you can purchase boba, beer, and food before starting your game.

I enjoyed the thematic elements of the course, all related to San Francisco, which made the city feel miniature and us like giants. The course consisted of 18 holes, and you could keep score using the notepad provided. While some holes were challenging, there weren't any moving obstacles, which I think could have added an extra level of difficulty and excitement. Despite having 90 minutes to complete all the holes, we finished in just 40 minutes.

Overall, it's a great place to hang out with friends, chat, and play miniature golf. Plus, there are many other nearby places to visit before or after your game.

I don't think there's too many mini golf options in the city but this is probably my favorite one. Good location at Ghirardelli Square with a bunch of other places to visit and things to do around the area.

The course consists of 18 holes and is reasonably priced at $28 for 2 players.

Courses were S.F themed and were nice and creative. I think the thing that stood out to me most is that each course had a place for people to set down their beer/drinks and some even had benches. Small detail but very thoughtful on their end.

Perfect for date night

Service , vibe , and little finger food / snack stand they have is an amazing vibe. The options for beer is super dope , get to go there the subpar while sipping on a beer having views out to the pier and bay! Absolutely beautiful and great place to take a date, friends or family.

Overall experience at Subpar was great! We booked a tee time for 4 and had a smooth check-in process. Their website was very easy to use and made it simple to book in advance. We booked the earlier in the morning for the same day (Sunday) and had no issues. Very reasonable prices at $14/adult ($56 for a group of 4)!

The course consisted of 18 holes and we loved the creativity and SF theme throughout the course! Each hole was well-designed and was very artsy. It really made the game very, very fun to play. I went with family, but this would be great for any age range!

Since this is indoor, the whole space is smaller than an outdoor mini golf place, and is naturally much easier. The holes were mostly par 2 to par 4, meaning that on average, you should make the ball in 2 to 4 attempts. My group of 4 spun through the course in about an hour although we had a limit of 90 min (more than ample time). Since the course was pretty easy, I'd only probably do it a few times.

We especially loved the useful stands at each hole which were perfect for putting water bottles, clubs, balls, and the scorecard. And an additional stand to place jackets and small purses. This was a really considerate touch to the place!

This is a really fun course and I highly recommend it! Would be a great spot for a birthday group, group of friends, or a date. Located in Ghirardelli Square so there's tons of food and great views in the area!

We came on a Friday morning, right when they opened around 11:15am and it was nice and empty! Our 5 year old is into golf right now so how fun was it for him to do it in real life.
It wasn't too expensive but still adds up for a family LOL. This would be fun for adults since you can eat and drink while you play.

The courses were all super fun and it was fun trying to tell our son that these were SF locations! We went through it all fairly quickly. Maybe 30-40 mins. Sadly he wanted to do it all AGAIN. but sorry little man, we weren't going to pay again haha.

Fun, clean and great location to eat and walk around afterwards. It is pretty hard to find parking normally. But we like to come during off hours so it works for us!

I like this place with beautiful ocean front view. It's great for handout with the family playing mini golf. I recommend

How have I lived in the Bay Area this long and not know about this fun place?! I found Subpar on Yelp and came here with my family. We had a great time. Each hole is a landmark in San Francisco. The place is clean and offers both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Subpar also has amazing views of Alcatraz.
We had a great time and afterwards we went for dinner and dessert. There are plenty of choices in the immediate area.
This is a fun activity for family, dates, or even solo.
My only advice is that it's popular so make reservations online. Otherwise you will need to wait about an hour on weekends.

It's a place with a family-friendly ambiance, everything is super clean, the food is fresh, and everything they sell is made with the utmost care and a lot of love! I can vouch for it :) The service is excellent because everyone working there is passionate about the place, creating a very welcoming environment. If you're planning to spend time with family, friends, or your partner, you should definitely visit Subpar Miniature Golf.
