Butler Pitch & Putt

"The golf option with the best food is, without question, Butler Pitch & Putt. The outdoor mini golf course has a clubhouse menu from chef Michael Fojtasek of James Beard Award finalist Olamaie, which is part of the same hospitality group. There are sandwiches on Fojtasek’s famous biscuits, plus beer, wine, and sodas in the clubhouse, and an on-site food truck, Gimme Burger, with burgers, fried okra, and more. On Fridays and Saturdays, the course stays open until 10 p.m. for Glow Golf with glow-in-the-dark balls." - Erin Russell

"Butler Park Pitch and Putt When the only serious requirement for play is that golfers have a putter and at least one other club, you know a course is more about fun than rules. Butler Park Pitch and Putt has been a pleasant destination since it opened in 1949, giving Austin a chance for a walk under the shade of pecan trees and some low-key exercise. Much is made of famous golfers who've spent time on the nine-hole course, like Ben Crenshaw (who played when he was an undergrad at UT), but you'll find the challenge of play is within your reach. And your kid's."

"Butler Pitch & Putt is debuting its new clubhouse featuring a menu from Olamaie chef Michael Fojtasek. The clubhouse offers various sandwiches, snacks, and desserts, and will sell beer, spiked seltzer, and wine. The park is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., but no longer allows BYOB." - Erin Russell

"Butler Park Pitch & Putt, a public golf course near Auditorium Shores in the Bouldin Creek neighborhood, is adding food and beverage service as part of a major revamp, with Olamaie chef Michael Fojtasek collaborating on the menu. The clubhouse renovation at 201 Lee Barton Drive is expected to complete this winter. Hospitality group New Waterloo is behind the revamp of Butler Park. Pecan Grove Golf Partners, which includes members of New Waterloo and golf industry veterans Jason Black and Lynn Shackelford, is overseeing the improvements, which also include updates to the course." - Erin Russell
