This course has good potential

I think the course could be really good. The layout was very good. I’ve never played where we two holes shared the same tee box. The issue i had was not tee or fairways, it was the poorly maintained greens. They were very slow and bumpy, it appears they have been taken over by poa anna. These little green plants affect the ball rolling and never know what to expect or where to hit it.

A little beat up

We didn’t know we were playing right behind a corporate scramble that was slow and bought out most of the beer. Course is pretty and tough. A little beat up but it is early March. Just needs a little love. I got a great deal on here but would have been upset if I paid full price.

Sweet course

It is winter, so the fairways were a bit brown, but overall a very fun course. A bit challenging for me on some of the holes, but pick up the ball and move on.

Great Day Golfing

We haven’t played this course since before the fire in 2017. Swore I would never go back because the staff were the rudest I have ever experienced, repeatedly!

We got a decent price at $62 from GolfNow so we decided to try it again. The facilities were beautiful from the rebuild after the fire. The brief interaction with the young man behind the counter at check-in was satisfactory, not impressive.

The carts were nice, and had gps. Because there were only 2 tee times listed on the GN app, we figured we’d be paired up with others. However, no one was. We got off to the wrong start as we teed off from correct tee box, but wrong direction! The starter came out and steered us back on course. The exchange was friendly and actually laughable!

The course was in good condition for winter. The pace of play was excellent, we finished in about 3 hours.

Not Impressed

From the get go this was a disappointing experience. The staff in the pro shop could have cared

Less than was a paying customer. It took them over 20 minutes to get my rental clubs.

Once on the course they were removing tree stumps on three holes and had wild boar damage on two holes and they had redone sod on two holes. This would not have mattered except that the rate charged did not match the course’s lack of upkeep.

Spend your time and money elsewhere.

Nice Course

The course is nice and good condition. The restaurant and snack/bar area service leaves a lot to be desired but if just play golf it is a great course with some very challenging holes.

Nice hill country course

Played in late Dec. Not overseeded. Course was in Good shape except where the wild boars have been rooting around. Couple holes on the back 9 had it pretty bad.

I thought the two 9 were like two different golf courses. Front nine was pretty wide open with wide corridors and straight forward strategy. I thought the back nine was much tougher, with narrow corridors, lots of trees crowding the fairways and hindering approach angles if you aren’t in the right spot. It having played the course before I struggled on the back nine trying to figure out where to place the drives and what were the places to miss. I thought the last two par fives on the back were a little goofy especially 18 with just a mine field of trees seemingly on every line.

Overall I enjoyed the course, thought it was a good value and the greens putted true.

Better than last.

Played this past December and the greens were in rough shape. Definitely have by far improved, some small spots on a green or two but overall course was in excellent shape.

Tapatio Springs golf

I like this course. I wanted to play here again since we played several times in the summer of 2024 when we stayed in Bandera, a 30 minute drive. We came back and brought my friend for the first time and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Some of the fairways had a few weeds or bald spots. Overall they were acceptable. Many people in the Houston area told us not to go and waste our time, but we had plenty of fun anyway. The Greens were fairly good, but maybe a little on the slow side. I thought some of the greens were faster than others and not a consistent pace. It could be me!? The layout is fairly awesome. Most people need to play it more than once to get the hang of the best landing spots. I like all the character of the hills and limited amounts of water you have to navigate. Being in the hills with cliffs and valleys, there’s some beautiful houses to enjoy while you’re driving around the course. Behind the restaurant, I love the view and ambience of the course as well as the open green space with turf grass and the beautiful waterfall. The waterfall does need some cleaning, however, with all the black on it currently. We went to the bar for drinks and appetizers after our hot round of golf and thoroughly enjoyed the service and the food. We bought some goodies in the pro shop and their selection was fairly typical. I would still play it again.
