A new local business offering family-fun activities has opened in the community. Mini golf course Sip N Putt opened at 7420 N. I-35, New Braunfels.
Perched on the side of a hill with views of the Hill Country, the champion-style putting course has 18 holes and offers three difficulty levels: beginner, moderate and championship. The business held its soft opening Jan. 13 and is offering $15 adult games to customers with kids games half off.
“It took a lot of work in land improvements alone, but just seeing the aesthetics and the walls and as we build into the landscape, it's going to be a beautiful piece of property and hopefully everybody can enjoy it,” owner Bret Shallenberger said.
Only the put-put portion of the business is open to the public so far, but Shallenberger has big future plans for the property. On top of the sloped course that is designed to represent the Hill Country, retrofitted storage containers will house a large seasonal holiday display with a walking path, a spectator lounge and one of two bars called the Halfway Haus.
