Cool Crest Garden Golf was opened in 1948 by Jan and Guy Saxton. It operated for 70 years as a beautiful entertainment destination for NW Missouri. Many have very special memories of their visits over those 70 years.
Cool Crest did not open after closing for the season in Fall 2017. A “FOR SALE” sign was posted at the end of 2018, and maintenance stopped on the property. Many feared it would be purchased and demolished because it sits in a prime location.
On January 6, 2021, Joe Town Mini Golf purchased Cool Crest Garden Golf in St. Joseph.
As soon as the weather allowed us to, we began restoration. We expect to reopen by Summer 2021. We look forward to what 2021 will be for the friends and families of St. Joe, NWMO, and further.
We are grateful to all who have supported Joe Town Mini Golf thus far. Without that, we would not have had this opportunity. Thank you.
