Loved this place. Cold tap selection. And other beverages. Staff helpful.Kids had a good time.

Really basic mini golf but still fun. Not very engaging for my 4 year old but good other than that. The beverages sold on site are $$$

Fun location lets you visit ghirardelli square a little beforehand or after. Its not a full mini golf course, its inside a restaurant-sized area, but its still fun and the SF themes are fun to look at and learn more about!

Great place! Lovely staff. And you get to play your way through SF landmarks.

Do yourself a favor and walk downstairs to stumble upon this gem. For a vacationer, it’s an awesome way to play your way through the city. This was such a cool idea and super well executed. Not to mention that you can sip on your favorite beverage through the entire course!

If was very cool, and it was just the right amount of difficulty! I really liked it.

The San Francisco iconic landmarks represented with passionate detail gave the experience a warm and personal feel.

Jetlagged and very tired we played a round. Was fun putting through the sites of San Francisco that we planned to visit. Service was good, the place was clean and tunes were good. We even scored some hole in ones!

Fun indoor mini golf spot. Love that they have beer and wine for adults.

Quite small, but all the mini golf courses are fun and uneque.

Omg, such a cute gem! It may be a little difficult to find. It is in Ghirardelli Square, but on the lower level. Be aware, they dont have any bathrooms.

Really nice, fun course, friendly staff, million dollar view out the window.

Subpar golf was an awesome end to our visit to California! The course was challenging but fun and the expierence really was a fun way to recap all the sights we saw on our trip. The attention to detail was phenomenal, and the midweek pricing was crazy cheap! $6.50 for an adult and $3 for a second round! (Trust me, youll want to play again) 5 stars hands down.

18 holes of San Francisco sites. Kids and adults enjoyed. Party of 7 ages 3 to 64. Great location and friendly staff. Go early with little ones to enjoy without slowing down others. Tons of fun

We took our kids here to have some fun in Alameda and its a really neat place to visit. My children really enjoyed the slot car racing and the arcade. We would have liked to have tried the miniature golf but unfortunately we didnt have time. Overall its definitely worth visiting if youre passing by and a good place to take your kids for some fun. My only complaint was that either the air conditioning was broken or off when we were there and it was a hot afternoon outside so the temperature inside the business was really uncomfortable. I literally had to step outside a couple of times to catch my breath.

If you are looking for a group activity for your family or company, this is a great place for it. Alicia, the manager there, was super friendly, helpful and accommodating. We went in for a group of 30+ people and had such a great time. Food was tasty despite the fact that they were so unhealthy (maybe that was the reason why it was tasty). But they were hot, made fresh, kinda fried food that were perfect for the activity.

Very unique indoor miniature golf that showcases the SF landmarks on the golf courses as well as wall murals, a fun time for all ages.

Amazing activitie, for two or a group its very funny and instructive! All the sightseeing location of San Francisco are depicted! Beer and wine available during your fun, staff are nice. 18 January 2020

This was a lot of fun. They have an 18 course mini golf setup with iconic SF architectures and landmarks. We were visiting SF for the weekend and decided to do this on a Saturday night. Since it’s located in the ghirardelli square, it’s at a great location!

This is a great mini golf course! Each hole is modeled after a landmark in San Francisco and offers information about each location. One of the best courses we’ve played at!

Anything but subpar! Excellent service and a great course. Loved the creativity of the holes and how it captured the beauty and diversity of San Francisco! Entirely indoor so perfect for any weather. Can’t wait to go back!

This place is one of my favorite places for date night with my hubby and you can bring the family with you during the day as well! I totally recommend this place if youre trying to do something fun while by the fishermans wharf in San Francisco

$12 a person for an hour of fun. What a steal! Had an absolute blast, at such a convenient location. It was the first time we had played mini golf in so long!!!

I only give it four stars because they sell alcohol and I couldnt tell if those playing in front of us were too inebriated to understand rate of play and letting others play through or if they were just not very courteous golfers.

This place was DELIGHTFUL. 18 indoor holes themed like San Francisco. The holes are challenging for an indoor location. Holes are spread out enough so that it doesnt feel packed. Plus you can enjoy beer on the course (they have a hearty selection). Cant wait to try to food - it looked good. Glow Golf is worth it for the novelty.

This a nicely themed, indoor mini golf. Tour San Francisco while playing putt-putt.

What a great night! We all had a blast. After, you have the entire square for dinner and dessert!

The idea is good, and the course is fun. We had a nice time here until the end. While we were playing the employees cleared our beers before we were done without asking. Then the arcade took probably $10 from us on broken machines and we asked for a refund and the employees said no. Then they closed at 11:20 without warning when they are supposed to close at 12. Literally turned off the electricity while we were in the middle of playing. It was totally absurd.

Awesome spot for a little indoor golf. Great for small groups and kids.mote family oriented than Urban Putt in SF tho. No bar or food.

Great course and friendly staff. Also alcohol is decent prices for San Fran.

Super fun. When we were there it was a bit crowded by small kids crawling all over. Seems like their parents did not care...

SF themed mini golf. Great location to relax and have fun with friends / family. You can order food / drinks as you explore the various levels. Very handy drink holders available so that you dont have to keep running back to your table. Great view of the ocean and / or walk around the block for more food and fun.

My rating of 5 stars is based on the following services, staff interactions and facilities I experienced during my visit on Dec 17, 2019.Time spent at the venue: 13:00 to 16:30 PM, games played: 6.My Experience at Subpar MiniGolf:Customer Service: When I go to the US, I love to minigolf, but the listed pricing they did not have all-day rate. So call the venue and manager offered me a deal, based on my circumstances, and on Dec 17, 2019 the arrangement we was noted and honored in their records.*I am not going to list the details as this was a special arrangement and it was honors because I was by myself.Customer Service during play: Pretty good! They also informed me that they had a office party coming in and had to attend to them. But I had time so it was a none issue.Food and Beverage: The course is equip for players to carry around their Alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages, because the hole marks are equipped with cup holders. That is very innovative as I have not seen that at any mini Golf venues I have visited. They can accommodate and cater to large groups, specifically adults as I was playing around an office party while I was there. (Rating based on service observed and presentation of the catered food provided to the office party only)Facilities: There is an arcade as well as the mini Golf course, there are programmable lockers (for paying customers), as well as cup holders on the Hole markers.The layout of the course will give you an overview of all attractions to visit and see in San Francisco, as all 18 holes are based on the main tourist sites and landmarks related to San Francisco.So if you are planning a trip to San Francisco I would definitely recommend visiting Subpar Minigolf for a round of Golf.

This is the coolest hidden gem!! So much fun to see the live tourest spots then play miniture golf on the mini version!! AND they serve food and beer, they even have cool drink holders while you putt. Alicia was amazing, she let us come check out the place even though it was only a few minutes before closing, totally made our trip, so glad we stopped in. A MUST visit when in San Fran!!!!! Note-this is the newsest location in Ghirardelli Square.

This was a lot of fun. They have an 18 course mini golf setup with iconic SF architectures and landmarks. We were visiting SF for the weekend and decided to do this on a Saturday night. Since it’s located in the ghirardelli square, it’s at a great location!

When here for a birthday party. Good time was had by all. The staff were very nice and helpful. I plan on going back again.

Pretty cool place, they sell beer. Each station has drink holders so you can golf and beer it up. Only took one star off due to people playing random holes and not going in order and also it’s quite small. You have to go down the stairs in front of the arcade to find it

Great indoor mini golf. Love the music and the cashier was awesome! Really enjoyed the theme of the course. Each hole shows off a specific area of sf.

If your planning to use your Go City Explorer pass here DONT. Offer is suppose to include mini golf plus a $10 food and beverage credit and $3 in tokens to the arcade. Attendant only offered mini golf and I had to explain what the pass actually included. Then they said they werent familiar with offer and I had to show it to them on my phone and they had to take pictures of my pass and the offer on my phone to show to their manager???? After all that they said they couldnt give us any arcade tokens and when we asked for food they said the kitchen was closed....dont waste your Go City pass here there are better options.

This was a fun and affordable thing to do while visiting San Francisco

Its really fun going here would recommend anyone to go

Awesome place. Starts easy and gets gradually harder...themed after SF area which is pretty neat too. Stop by if you get the chance!

We loved Subpar when it was in Alameda so decided to check out the new spot in SF--courses have definitely gotten an upgrade which was nice--landmark buildings are better designed and constructed. Our experience was soured by the large group of about forty adults enjoying a work party. They were perfectly nice people and I dont begrudge them their party, it was just annoying to have to wait for them because the space is tight and they kept leaving their drinks and food everywhere so we couldnt sit on the benches while waiting for them to finish. Part of the reason we decided to go on a weekday was to avoid a crowd so this was a bit frustrating. Overall, we were there a LOT longer than I had anticipated and spent most of that time just waiting for others to finish so we could play. Not sure how this situation could have been handled differently as I probably wouldve been equally (or more) disappointed if we had made the trek out there to discover they were closed for a private event. I guess I just wish the guy at the counter had given us a heads up that things might take longer than usual because of the large party so that I wouldve known what to expect. Despite this, my son and I had a good time and I would take him again--maybe Ill just call ahead of time to make sure no huge parties are happening first thing on a weekday...

This place is amazing. The courses are all San Fransisco themed, they have beer on tap and wine available and offer an all around great time!

Great family fun. bit dark and crowded. good spot though.

This place is adorable! If youve got a few hours to kill and dont want to spend a ton, check this place out. The course is surrounded by fun murals of the city, and holes based on landmarks in the city (my favorite was Lombard Street). Arcade up stairs with a bunch of games, so you have options on your entertainment. Will totally be going back again!

Paid for an order of pizza. Never got I. We were sitting for about 30 minutes before the guy came over and said they never put in the pizza and they just put it in. Dont go. Bad service, and the employees dont like working there, its very obvious

Slot cars, $5 for 12 minutes, what a blast!! That included one of their loner cars!! Fun times!!

It was fun, we decided to go for two rounds and came up with inventive ways to play the game

Customer service is awesome n food serve is always hot

Good but a bit crowded. Still fun...

Coolest golf course Ive ever been to. Each hole is modeled after a different Bay Area icon from the Golden Gate bridge to the Berkeley skatepark to....a giant ear. On weekends they turn off the lights and give you glow sticks and glowing golf balls. Highly recommend this place, especially if you need an express tour of the Bay Area in an hour ;)

They have moved from Alameda now in Ghirardelli Square San Francisco havent been to the new spot yet plan on it soon

They have a cool mini golf course, however they allow too many people to golf at once so it makes for a long wait when playing. Also the addition of drinking while golfing is a cool idea but also slows it down even more.

Great place, especially for parties and kids.Pros: pool, skew ball, 18 holes, and whatever you call those controlled table cars are called.Cons: low amount of arcade options, crowded and poor placement of benches and restrooms. Define you recommend finding better position to fix crowd problems.

We got a Groupon for a group of 6 and had a great time ! Fun for the whole family

Decently challenging, great theme, and very clean

A little run down but i love the theme of the golf course and the arcade is cool. Great for a family night out

This is what a mini golf place should be - the closest Ive found so far to the Happy Gilmore standard of crazy golf! Loved it

A fun place to go regardless of age or skill and test out you mini-gold skills in a Bay Area themed store. They also have slot cars and am arcade, as well as party rooms that can be booked for parties, although you dont have to be part of a party to go.

Love the Bay Area themed mini golf holes! Fun treat for a lazy afternoon. They also have slot car racing and a small arcade.

This place is soooooooooooo much fun!When I first saw this place, I thought to myself, why would anyone play mini golf indoors? But I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun I had here. This place doesnt seem that big and the course might look easy but theyre not!The cost to play is cheap (: Its under $10, definitely worth it! I went here with a group of friends, about 7 people, and we had the best time. There are 18 holes, and each hole progressively gets harder, but i think the middle portion of the course was the hardest. I definitely didnt think it would be that challenging but it was! The place isnt too big so they were pretty inventive with their course to minimize space. Its even cooler that each hole is bay area themed (:If youre looking for something to do around Alameda, check this place out!

Great addition to Ghiradelli Square, gotta have for our kids ,good start now we need more , not just coffee an bars, more family oriented establishments

The California themed glow in the dark miniature golfing is very cool. Fun atmosphere, good playlist. Very fun for a little date night. :)

So much fun! Played golf and video games for hours! Would recommend to all ages! Great environment and friendly staff!

From what I hear, this place was great. But it has permanently shut down. They have a remaining location in Ghirardelli Square in SF.

One of the best miniature golf courses Ive ever played. San Francisco-themed holes too!

Wonderful mini-golf area in Ghirardelli Square

New nice mini golf, ambience very pure

Fairly cheap and fun indoor mini-golf arena. There is no staff to bother you, and the other players are courteous and patient. I never felt rushed to take my turn. This place could be fun for a few times but they probably dont change their courses very often, if at all.

Love this place, especially the glow in the dark golf! A great place for good clean fun with the kids.

Really cool little place. The holes have great designs and had a good rate on replaying the course. Highly recommended if in the area.

Very fun golf.

Great service, friendly, fun indoor course, and food was great. We ordered food and worker forgot about it, had to wait a while.

Very fun nice arcade fun indoor golf not very difficult and not very expensive at all good time killer l.

Decent course. Thr course is just right for the kids without being frustrating. Friendly staff. Nice course decorations

There age holes themed with various San Francisco Berkeley Oakland and Wine Country landmarks. Its a lot of fun. And its a good deal for unlimited play.

Fun indoor mini golf with cool bay area themed holes. Arcade is small and well worn. Fun for a rainy day!

This place was great, but it closed forever yesterday.

Pretty hot and sticky inside. AC wasnt working, and the fans werent really keeping up. Mini golf course was creatively set up (San Francisco themed), but the underlying architecture of each hole didnt leave much for creative or interesting golf.

GREAT, decorative, each station has to do with the bay area

Definitely worth the stop! Fun playing all the big spots in San Fran.

Closed now but this place was great

As usual...this small business shut its doors a while ago...

Fun, affordable spot for indoor mini golf ️ Each hole ️ is themed around a bay area landmark! Its pretty cool

We had a great time playing through all the holes. I loved how they are all themed around the Bay Area. This is a fun way to spend the day with some friends or while making some new ones.

Very fun mini golf courses! The arcade is small but fun, and the pool table is a nice addition

Good place to go

Really nice

Drinks and golf. Great pair

In case you didnt realize it this place is indoors. Kids enjoyed themselves, but thought the selection of arcade games was weak. It did smell a little funky too.

Great place for family fun, with a well designed course chock full of Bay Area landmarks!

No matter the weather outside, sunny, rainy, snowing, or what ever you will enjoy indoor golfing here. Fun Fun Fun

The miniature golf is a lot of fun. My kids also really like dropping off for 12 minutes of slot car racing.

I REALLY liked this place in the heart of Alameda. Its a great spot for a date or hanging out with a small group of friends. The space isnt very large, so I recommend not coming here with more than 4 or 5 people. The 18 holes are Bay-Area themed. One of my favorite things to do was actually guess the location of the hole before looking at the back of the scoring card to find out what it was. I managed to get a couple of hole in ones, which helped to boost my competitive ego. ;) The holes arent incredibly difficult, but some require some pretty heavy strategy, especially the ones with high slopes. Ironically, being part Mexican, the hardest hole for me was the Taco Truck one. When youre finished, play some Air Hockey.

Place was fun. Love it

A great place to go in the winter. The course was more challenging than most and unique.

Super crowded on the weekends. Im glad we went on a groupon. The space was too tight for our group of 5. The kids got restless, as we had to wait 5-10 minutes at each hole for the folks in front of us. There are better indoor golf places in the Bay Area.

Super fun, all handbuilt, no cookie cutter here!

Cheap and fun, creative indoor mini golf course was both challenging and fun! The glow in the dark balls are also rly cool too
