El Paso’s Biggest Mini-Golf Party!
January 31, 2026
Get ready for the Downtown Barstool Open!
A one-of-a-kind mini-golf tournament that takes over Downtown El Paso!
How It Works

Round up your crew of four and come up with a team name (and maybe a group theme/costume). No golf skills needed, just bring your energy, sense of humor, and team spirit. This is a 21+ event.

Be sure to register all four players together when you sign up!

*Every team will choose one of three 9-hole courses: Miller Lite, Dos Equis, or Twisted Tea

Want a head start? The Early Birdie Teams begin one hour earlier, from 10 AM to 11 AM, giving you a little extra time to play, sip, and snap photos before the crowds.


These spots always sell out fast and cost just a little more, so grab them early!
⚠️ All registration prices increase by $20 after December 18, 2025.

Kick off the weekend at the Friday Night Pre-Party & Check-In, happening on the 7th Floor Pool Area of the DoubleTree Downtown Hotel from 5 PM to 9 PM. 🎉

Friday, January 30 • 5 PM – 9 PM
DoubleTree Downtown Hotel – 7th Floor Pool Area

  • Skip the long lines on Saturday.

  • Enjoy music, drinks, and good vibes with other teams.

  • Pick up your scorecard, course map, and swag early so you’re ready to roll in the morning.

Can’t make it Friday? No problem, Saturday check-in runs from 9 AM to 12 PM (same location). But trust us… the Pre-Party is where the fun begins!

👉 Make it a Staycation!

Your team will play through a 9-hole course featuring Downtown’s favorite bars, restaurants, and hotels, each with a creative mini-golf setup.
Enjoy drink specials, keep score, and don’t forget to tag @DowntownElPaso for a chance to be featured on social media!

At 3 PM or when you finish your final hole (whichever is sooner), turn in your scorecard to the staff member there. There’s no awards ceremony, but winners will be contacted directly and announced later that day on social media.


🥇 Prizes for Best Team Name, Best Costume, and Lowest Score (Team and Individual)!

Do I need to know how to play golf?

How many people can be on a team?

Teams are made up of four players. You’ll register all four teammates together at the time of purchase.
