Subpar Miniature Golf offers a quirky and family-friendly indoor mini-golf experience in Ghirardelli Square. The 18-hole course features fascinating designs, though some features could use updating. Despite being a little small, the venue is well-maintained and clean. Visitors can enjoy a range of appetizers, including chicken wings, pot stickers, onion rings, and jalapeño poppers, all of which are reported to be really good. The staff are described as helpful and friendly, with particular praise for Maria, who provided attentive and amazing service. While not inexpensive, Subpar Miniature Golf is considered the best mini-golf place in the Bay Area, offering a great experience, especially for children. An arcade across the walkway adds to the fun.
Super fun mini golf! Loved the theme! Maria and the team running the place were wonderful, the fries were fresh and delicious, and I would definitely take friends back here again.

This was so fun! Love the SF theme and the varied difficulty of the holes. They have lockers you can put your stuff in but also hooks and shelving you can set stuff down on at every hole.

Great place to celebrate kid party. We had an amazing time and all of the kiddos had a blast. Our group ended up ordering food from the pizzeria downstairs square pie guys and going across the park to eat and play.
