The land that now provides a home to Quarry Golf Course was formerly the abandoned Alamo Cement plant. Keith Foster converted this unique location into a challenging layout with a links-style front nine and a back nine that plays entirely through an abandoned rock quarry with walls over a 100 feet tall on three sides. The first half of the golf course features plays through open fields of rolling hills with native grasses and a near absence of trees. Creeks and streams come into play on six holes of the front nine. The quarry pit on the back nine is truly the most unique feature on the golf course. Quarry Golf Course's most dramatic hole is the 17th, which requires a tee shot over a deep ravine that is framed by a 40-foot waterfall.

Feels Like a Country Club

I will start off this review with Wow, the course surpassed my expectations. From Checking in to finishing the round.

Staff was extremely friendly and there was a bag drop with porters to attend to your bag. The proshop was well stocked and the staff was very helpful.

We arrived an hour before our tee time to take advantage of the practice facilities for a warm up. Our bags were placed on a cart with our names already on it, along with all of the other teetimes that afternoon, no hunting for a cart all stock and ready to go. The cart has GPS, BT speakers, ordering capability, and the coolers had ice and complimentary water in them.

The practice facility is included with the tee time, that includes the driving range (iron only) two putting greens, and a chipping green. There is a turn house there as well with food, drink, and outside seating and a TV to enjoy.

The course was in amazing shape, the tree boxes were great, flat and not too beat up. The fairways were green, and were grass. The greens were in excellent shape, challenging pin placements, an even roll accord the 18 holes, and they had a clear border surrounding them.

If you read up on the course, it shoes that it place short and appears very open, it is both but... Will punish you for a bad shot or for not planning your follow on shot. There are well placed defensible bunkers on the course, and I paid that price throughout the round. The rough is long and if you end up in it, you will be dropping, there is no finding it, the cut is wild and close to 2' tall. With all of this said it was more of a challange then I anticipated and that was a good thing. I want to play it again with a plan of attack, and try to stick to that. It is not an unfair layout, just one to make you play the game.

I played with my wife, who is not a long hitter, but is straight. She played the forward tees and had a good time with the course, the tees were placed to take some of the tee hazards out of play and left her with the approach and green complexes.

Sitting here trying to think of something that I would change about the experience, I'm hard pressed to think of it. From start to finish you are taken care of, the course was immaculate, the pace of place was excellent, never waited and was never pushed. The practice facility is worth your time pre-round, and the staff was friendly and attentive.

We will definitely be out again to play.

Quarry Review

Staff was friendly from start to finish, pace of play was a little slow. I expected more for the price as far as conditions, the greens weren’t in the best conditions but still a nice course to play. Some of the holes were challenging and had to be strategic with club selection.

Unique Course

Although 9 holes are built in a quarry the fairways are wide. Greens and fairways arr in great shape. Pace of play was very good with a Marshall on the course to keep it moving.

Mighty soggyl

We played. It was cart path only. We walked to the ball hit and then walked back to the cart. It was a 5/1:2 hour round. The fairways were wet and we had to come and clean the mud off our shoes. Not the best of conditions at the quarry

Review

Pace of play was terrible. For the amount of money to play the course it is unacceptable. 2 marshals/starters passed up a hole with 3 groups on it and 2 waiting to tee off. They did nothing to speed it up . Should never take 6 hours to play a round of golf .

Great Course for the Cost

The layout of the course was challenging and fun to play. The course was in great shape. Pace of play slowed down at the turn probably because of the views. I had a wonderful time with the players I was on the course with. Only down side is you had to buy balls to warm up at the range.

Always a fun time.

Played 3/31 and greens were in good shape. Rolled true and decent speed. Fairways were nice, tee boxes had just been aerated but still in good shape. Cart girl swung by 3-4 times. All around great experience as always.

Slow Play

5+ hour round...They had a tournament in front of us and play was VERY slow. Had to wait 5+ minutes on most shots. The Quarry is really a classy place but this was not one of their best days. Also, the course was extremely dry, only days after drenching rains. The greens were very hard and not receptive. High approach shots didn't result in ball marks. Quarry, you can do better!

Great course!

The course was amazing. The Pro Shop was also great. Only complaint is pace of play. Over 4.5 hours on a fairly short course. I am starting to think it is a San Antonio problem.

Spectacular Setting

Playing The Quarry was a real treat. Pricey but majestic views and in excellent condition. Despite some rain and a thunder/lightning delay, the day was quite memorable. Challenging for sure.
