The Ice & Golf Center

The skating instructor was rude to my 7 year old and I wrote to the director and they never replied. The classes are very expensive and they teach very little

No pro hockey jerseys at the ice rink «PRO SHOP»??
And an ice rink admissions/“Pro Shop” clerk who basically doesn’t even know that hockey is A Thing?
Lame.
I think I’ll just say eff it and order a Monroeville Zombies jersey from Jay & Silent Bob.

I enjoyed playing mini golf here. They have two courses and each has a few shady spots. The greens are pretty good. I am sure updates will be needed next year. Each was unique and fun to play! Thank you!

Coming from Canada, I am happy San Antonio has a place for skating, however, there so many things here that needs improving and are lacking just with the public skating program. Only allowing skaters to skate in ONE direction the whole 3 hours, not only dulls all the skates on one side, it also doesn’t allow for a balanced work out. Is this the rodeo? One of my kids outgrew her skates and had to rent some. Seriously!?! The blades were FLAT and when I asked if we could sharpen them, I was told literally: «good luck with that.» «They sharpen them once maybe twice a year.» Make no wonder this place isn’t packed. My skilled kid was slipping all over the ice and the majority of the other skaters were gripping the sides of the boards. Maybe sharpen the skates and people will actually be able to skate. AND To get your skates sharpened, is a 24 – 48 hour turn over time?! WTH? In a busy arena up north you could get skates sharpened anytime. Just line up. If it’s an issue of training your staff, DO IT! All of them should be able to do it., not only would this bring in extra money, your skaters would be more happy! So wish a little extra care and attention would be made and we would be here way more often. These things might not seem like a big deal to the owner and management, but to a skater… It’s a big deal.

This is a nice rink but I was unhappy when my daughter and her friend were there hanging out with friends and made by cops to go sit outside if they didn’t go pay and skate. She’s gone before to just eat and play games and not skate and never been given any trouble about it before. The cops were treating them like criminals and giving them a hard time when there were other kids there not skating either. I’m really unhappy the cops just made her and her friend go sit outside while her friend’s mom brought money. They should give her a chance to call her mom and have her bring the money. When I leave my daughter I expect she’ll be safe and not made to go outside. Never again will she go unless she’s skating. I’m just glad she had money with her to go pay. And if they don’t want people there hanging out without skating, that should be posted somewhere! I didn’t think it was a problem since she was purchasing food and playing games.

Mini-golf:I actually had more fun at Malibu than here. Stagnant water and gnats galore. Many plants dead or dying. Obstacles on the schematic for each course were missing from the green. Very depressing; at least Malibu has the excuse of being old. To top it off, we rushed the last 5 holes since it was close to closing time… went to go back inside and turn our clubs in and we were locked out! Thank goodness there were some customers playing arcade games that heard our knocking and let us in. The dude we rented them from apparently closed up the «Admissions» stand and I’m guessing completely forgot there were customers outside.

If you’re planning on having your child play indoor soccer at this place you better stop in their pro shop and purchase the hockey pads and helmet because you’re going to need them. I’ve seen several youth games there this winter and one referee is as bad as the next. Kids are getting slammed into the walls with little to no calls from the referees. I’ve seen 3 coaches pull their kids early from the game because the child’s safety is more important than a win. The referees better get it together or someone is going to get seriously injured. The league needs to make checking a player an automatic ejection, not a free kick.

back in the day, a couple decades and a couple million cheeseburgers ago I took ice skating lessons, it was a fun time for me. I’m not saying this made me biased to any specific rink, but I’ve most definitely experienced better, in fact, I’ve never experienced worse.
On the plus side: it’s the only ice skating rink in the city, I’ve heard of one at a hotel around the holidays, but for the most part it’s your only option. There’s a snack bar with tons of greasy food options. The music choice wasn’t the worst, or it was too low to notice if it was bad. The bathrooms were clean when we arrived around 7. The place has ample amount of bench space and lockers for rent compared to other places I’ve been to…
As for negatives: the first thing you’ll notice is how bad the place smells, for a smoker with flared allergies that day, the smell managed to bother me. The first pair of skates they tried renting out to me were still HOT from the last person’s feet that had been inside of them. They wipe the OUTSIDE of the skates with a dirty moist rag, no sprays, nor apparent airing out of the skates between uses. The younger personnel that they have paroling the rink were mostly too busy flirting with the middle school girls there and trying to impress them. There is an abundance of middle school children, aggressively rude and obnoxious. My second trip to the restroom was a complete 180 from the first, it was flooded with middle school girls either over-​applying their makeup or frantically trying to wipe it off since mom was on her way to pick them up (that would have been endearing had it not been for the total disaster they had turned the bathroom into, the floor and counters were littered with makeup removal wipes and blush/​eyeliner smeared paper towels, gross).
Worst place in the city for ice skating, but also the only one, so there’s that.

I’ve hit more birds in trees than made birdies on a regular golf course, but when playing miniature golf I am instantly transformed into Tiger Woods minus the Nike contract and personal issues with unlimited mulligans and a score card that impresses me and perhaps only me. Live the fantasy of approaching the 18^th green at Augusta or Pebble Beach without leaving San Antonio. While you’re at it, lace up the skates for some hockey or bust your arse on the public rink to the amusement of your friends and family. Go for it! Memories are waiting to be made.

Ice Sheet in San Antonio you ask? Why YES!
Not only is this a great skating rink with skate rentals, but they have ice skating lessons for all levels, figure skaters and a hockey league! If you want to just watch the figure skaters or the hockey players go and do their thing it is free to watch (yay!).
The mini golf is basic, yes but it is cute, clean and safe as can be.
They have a small arcade inside but I have not played any of the games.
The second ice sheet has been turned into an indoor soccer field, so check the schedule for open skate times.
There is a snack bar downstairs that has a friendly staff, but my favorite place to go is upstairs. They have a snack bar there as well with a limited menu. Worry not though, beer and wine are inculded on that limited menu. The reason I like upstairs more is the viewing area looks down on both the ice rink and the indoor soccer field so you get 360 degree entertainment! It is also air conditioned/​heated to a comfortable temperature at all times.
The shop there is not the best in the world with quite a limited selection but hey… this is San Antono, what can be expected right? If you are a veteran skater you will probably want to order things online, but if you are just out to have fun the shop is perfect.
Go. Skate. Enjoy!

Love, love, LOVE the adult figure skating classes at this rink! BRAVO!!!
For the person commenting on purchasing ‘Pro Hockey jerseys’ in the Pro Shop — a Pro shop is for the programs at the local rink. If you want a ‘Pro jersey’ you should shop NHL dot com. All Pro jersey’s (most) are purchased via games or NHL not at local rink pro shops.

The figure skating program at this rink is very corrupt. I would highly recommend NOT signing up your children to be taught by these very unqualified coaches at this rink. Bernadette who is the director of the figure skating at this rink has NO IDEA how to run a skating program. Drive to Austin for a significantly better program.

I have never skated or golfed here, but I have been several times to watch my fiancé play indoor soccer. Their indoor court is nice and always clean. Usually on the weekends (of course) the skating rink is crazy busy, but I’m able to escape the chaos for the indoor court.

I took my younger sisters here to try out ice skating.
10 bucks for admission and skates. Big building. It was so much fun! I had a great time.
Definitely not a place if you don’t like loud kids or kids in general. They are everywhere, even behind the counters haha but it was all good. Nice place to do something different.

My daughter has taken lessons here and after the second lesson there was such a difference in skating. The coaches are so great with the kids. I thought the lessons were a little pricey, $ 125 for 6 weeks ($ 100 if you sign up early online) but now I see this was money well spent. Would recommend to anyone!

My 6 year old wanted to play mini golf. I wanted to take her to a place that wasn’t over run by questionable characters and dilapidated courses where you find yourself not really wanting to touch anything. Do you hear me Malibu? I’m talking about YOU.
The mini golf, as another Unilocaler said (shout out Kiya S.) is indeed very basic. There are small but not obtrusive obstacles on the greens, some pretty steep hills, but nothing in the way of your traditional windmills and castles, or the occasional clown that you try to choke to death with a golf ball. This isn’t to say fun can’t be had, it certainly can, however I found this course lending itself more to the parent who wants to practice their putting in a place where kids are welcome. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, however if you’re looking for an actual mini golf experience, this really isn’t the place.
The rate was $ 7 per person for 18 holes or $ 10 a person for 36 which for a nice and clean course where you’re not having to look over your shoulder worried about a couple of stupid teenagers throwing down, and to not worry about walking out of the place with MRSA, isn’t bad at all.

This is the only ice skating place in San Antonio and let me tell you it needs to be used MORE! it’s so much fun to go skating here.
The center is used for things other then just joe shmos like me to go skate in. There is a hockey league that plays here ant they are separated from the amateurs like me. It’s a great place to take a date for sure and it wouldn’t break your bank. It’s quick and cheap to get some good skates and have a good cool time.
It can get a little crazy in there, especially when it gets colder and it’s on the weekends. I would recommend getting in there sometime during the week and enjoying yourself.

I came here on a date with my husband. We had a coupon for buy one miniature golf game, get one free. So we went on weeknight and it was definitely not busy at all. We were able to play without having people wait for us to move so they could play. Cute course. It’s not the hugest, most extravagant thing ever, but there are two 18 hole courses. There were a lot of teenyboppers, but that’s to be expected. I recommend not going if the temperature is in the 90s or up.

I am pretty sure they are the only ICE RINK in town, and they are two rinks in one. They have recreational ice hockey leagues and they also have instruction for those wanting to learn how to skate or play hockey. I also understand they have real golf and mini golf. Good place to have a kids birthday party, I see them having them there all the time. They also have an arcade and it’s right behind a movie theater and close to lot’s of restaurants.
