About
Formerly a private club, Windcrest Golf Club is now open for public play. This nine-hole course is tight in some spots with a traditional layout that calls for a variety of different shots. Tree-lined fairways and elevated greens protected by bunkers require sharp short game skills and accurate placement off the tees. Water hazards also come into play on two holes. With four sets of tees, the golf course is perfect for juniors and beginners who want some practice or avid golfers wanting a quick round. One of the most appealing things about Windcrest Golf Club is that it doesn't get especially crowded on weekends, meaning tee times are rarely required.

Nice little 9 hole course. Worth the stop.
People scoff at 9 hole courses but this course is no cinch. Trees. Trees. Trees. You better hit it straight on this course otherwise you're in some serious tree trouble. Makes for a challenging course. One par 5 and a few par 4s with some very interesting par 3s. Would recommend this course to anyone. Excellent Price with very good conditions for the price. Greens are set at a very good pace for beginners, in my opinion. Not too many wild breaks and the speed isn't unreal.
Smooth playing
Smooth playing throughout the course. The Greens are great. Water is found almost on every course, but you have ice too. Wow, that was awesome. The only downside was I had trouble finding the ball because of leaves on the course. Nature in charge at times.
Great Course
Small 9 hole course, right in the middle of the city of Windcrest. Fairly easy, and the course was in great condition. Finish in under three hours with no rush or crowds. Will definitely return.
Great Fun
You could pay alot more, but not have as much fun at better courses. Distance is agreeable for amateurs, yet very challenging to better golfers. Will return often!
Hidden Gem
This is a great little 9 hole course. Big bang for the buck. Well maintained greens and (narrow) fairways. The fully loaded jumbo dog is as good as it gets
Great course for the cost
Notes that need to be noted on golf now website No driving range and 9hole course
Good for working on irons
Good course for my kids to continue to practice. Good to work on iron game.
Needed some rain, but overall good experience.
Greens are equal mix of sand and grass
Only 9 holes which you play from different tees to make it 18. Staff was friendly. Course was not well maintained. Putting was infuriating due to unpredictable greens because of all the sand on them, plenty of bare patches too.
Great value.
Excellent value. Exceeded my expectations. I will definetly be back. Since it was a 9 hole course and we played 18 holes we just played from different tee locations and had a great time. The food at the grill was good and the drinks were reasonably priced.
Great bang for your buck
I am by no means an avid golfer but I have been trying to play more as of lately. This course has somewhat forgiving fairways but not too much where you can't lose some balls. Has a nice mix of par 3s, short and long 4's, and a par 5 at hole 9. The course conditions were really good except for the greens which had just been aerated which is understandable. Beer prices are pretty decent as well; $13 for a 6 pack domestics. Fun golf course where you won't feel intimidated from serious golfers.
payment problems
Tried to book round for myself and two friends. I was shut out at (1) special rate for myself after ordering (3). I then paid for the other (2) a regular rate at next available time. The total between the two bookings was over $80. Got to the course (very small 9 hole)and they made my friends pay another $60 plus dollars. Called the next Monday after looking at my checking account. Manager wasn't going to be in until Friday. Man on the phone said to call then and that Saturday was huge snafu. NOT HAPPY
Not a course id go back too
narrow fairways very short holes Greens not very good condition fairways are terrible
Rather Not
9-holes, play it twice.... fairways pretty bare, not necessarily for me. Good place for a walking experience probably
One of the best 9 hole courses I've played
A true hidden gem. Soo many people in the area have no clue this beauty is located just minutes away. Fareways and greens are always in great condition. The food and prices are exceptional!!!
Inexpensive 9-hole course in an older Windcrest neighborhood.
In a nutshell, a fairly flat, fairly easy, inexpensive, short, 9-hole facility located in a modest, older, Northeast San Antonio neighborhood. The facility seems frozen in time - 1950, or so - and a good portion of the place is in serious need of updating, or at least some serious TLC. I must say, however, that the course itself is not all that bad - a notch or two better than Alamo Golf Club, a comparable, inexpensive course in the Northwest part of town.
Bordered by four city streets, there are ample opportunities to scuff up a ball or two on the asphalt and perhaps ding up a car parked in a nearby driveway.
Four holes may require a driver - 1, 2, 5 and definitely 9; three holes are relatively short par threes - 3, 6 (with a well-designed water hazard complete with spewing fountain in the middle) and 7; 4 is a dogleg right and 7 is a dogleg left, both relatively short holes requiring well placed tee shots.
I have played this course several times and almost every time I end up behind a foursome of elderly golfers, which this course seems to cater to. Today it was a four elderly ladies with another foursome of elderly gents playing immediately ahead of them. I politely asked to play through and the ladies agreed, while the elderly gentlemen made no effort to be accommodating. So my 9 holes took a while. Oh well, it was a beautiful day and I took advantage of the slow play to hit two or three balls on every hole.
If you play 18 holes here, the back tees are just far enough back from the white tees to make the course feel different, so I play the blue tees on the "front" and white tees on the "back."
Amenities are spartan although there is one water station midway and another on the 1st tee. They have a batter's cage that serves as a warm-up, although it is falling apart and the backstops torn and tattered in many spots. I didn't bother since the mat was waterlogged and missing the tee.
There is a small chipping green that is really rather well maintained although the grass surrounding it was very uneven - some way too tall and some spots bare and some spots just right.
I have to admit that I do use this course a couple of times a month for a practice round because it's so cheap. Just like me.
Horrible Greens
The greens were in really poor condition.
I'm a member of this golf course and play here regularly.
The greens are in excellent condition and rolling smooth and fast. (Played this morning)
