Another Troon Managed Winner!

I've played Maderas in San Diego and Troon North in Scottsdale. Management is always top notch and so are course conditions Driving range is also included in the green fees. This course is challenging and unforgiving on errant shots. Good pace of play on a Saturday too. Beats any course I've played in Houston!

Kissing Tree in fine shape!

The Kissing Tree course in San Marcos is well designed with key hazards requiring thoughtful carries and key decisions around the greens. It is a bit short at 6100 yards from the member tees. Lots of undulation in the fairways can leave awkward lies. The bunkers were perfectly maintained and the greens smooth. Highly recommend Kissing Tree for a fun round.

Perfect weather

Love this Hill Country Course

Kissing Tree is rapidly becoming my favorite course in the Central Texas area. The course offers a variety of different challenges throughout the 18 holes to include some blind t-shots, a few forced carries, drivable holes and a great mix of Par-3s. The fairways and greens are very well maintained and provide a great surface for an honest assessment of your golfing prowess. My only sadness is that it's not located closer to my house so I could play it more often.

Great value

KT is always kept in great condition. The course is well designed, good views, and kept well despite the temps in TX putting strain on the groundskeepers. Staff is helpful and friendly. Nice driving range and chipping area. Good value near Austin.
