Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort

We generally love playing Tapatio Springs, and we generally play in 3.5 hours. Today only the back 9 was open and we found ourselves behind 2 very slow groups. We ended up leaving after playing 9 holes in 2.5 hours. I’m sure the next time we play the spring course maintenance will be completed.

The fairways need more grass and it is still Springtime. The Rain will help. Greens were good, again, it needs more rain, but all and all in good shape. Nice layout and not busy now. Will continue to play here.

Besides the picturesque views, the course is in great shape!

While staying the area for 2 weeks, we decided to play this course.

1st Round everything went well and the staff was great & we enjoyed the course.

On the 2nd round the counter staff gal was friendly & efficient which we did because David was having surgery the next day & won't be playing for 6 weeks. I did ask a question about the price change from Tues to Thursday. I just was curious.

The Pro came over and said that was the booking place that they did not set the pricing. Ok.

He then asked me of that was my cart. When I said yes, he said NO personal coolers are allowed. This was a small cooler so I told him, I would put it in the truck if he gave me 1-1% & 1 small whole milk, 2 small homemade muffins, an insure & a power bar, 2 small power aids & 2 waters. He told me that a guy came in the other day with a BIG Yeti cooler full of beer. I told him, that wasn't us. He said "just put a towel over it"

We went out to play and by the 2nd hole had caught up with a v-e-r-y slow 2some who never thought to have us play thru. We finally just gave up & quit after 9 holes. I did not go back in the pro shop to ask for a refund as my earlier experience wasn't very welcoming..

In the 22 years we have been fulltime RV'ers and have golfed as we traveled {including The Old Works-MT, Coeur D'Alene-ID, Golden Ocala in FL & at hundreds of courses all over the US, We have never been told we couldn't have a small cooler. I felt it was embarrassing to be "questioned" in the middle of the Pro Shop. I would say that didn't make is want to come back

Nice open course but little if any grass on the greens or fairways. Having said that, playing golf in February you can’t except the course to be in great condition!

I always enjoy the opportunity to play on such a fine course

Everything was good, but got stuck behind a six some. I didn’t know that was a thing until today. A course marshal is definitely needed.

Incredibly poor signing, facilities, staff responsiveness. Inaccurate driving range signing, and could only use mats for some reason - so could not practice off any tee. Played 4 holes before GPS asked if I wanted to use it for scoring, but repeatedly had to cancel screen telling the course was 90 degrees only. Was unimpressed and angry before even getting to next tee - the 2some said they were fast and wanted to go ahead of me - one being a staff member. Had to wait on they every hole. Left after 5th hole. Waste of my time and money. This review only touches the surface of the poor experience.

Tapatio is one of the best examples of hill country golf. Gorgeous scenery and layout. Course conditions are superb......some of the best greens around. Look forward to new clubhouse next summer.

Unfortunately, it rained the day before we played here, so we were not allowed to play the back-9, but had to play the front-9 twice, which was very disappointing. So, I would recommend this course to a friend AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T RAIN THE DAY BEFORE my friend was scheduled to play. I myself won't be going back unless the forecast is for no rain 3 days in advance of my intended round and on the day of my intended round. If I had paid full-price for the round, I would have been really mad, but I bought my round on a golfnow.com "hot deal," so I was only "very disappointed."

The course is in a beautiful setting and well-maintained. The staff is very friendly, but the temporary food truck chef had stepped out to go get supplies, so I had to skip lunch.

Finally, instead of pairing-up singles and twosomes, the course apparently just starts golfers out whenever they want. But they paired our three-some up with a fourth, and then asked us to let two smaller groups behind us play-through! This made no sense to me. Why not hold the single a few minutes and let him play with one of the smaller groups behind us?

We hadn’t played this course for three years and were surprised at it’s pristine condition. The greens are exceptional, fairways are full and lush and for sure, overall is a challenging course. The staff were friendly and accommodative making the experience even better. There is excellent driving range, putting green and chipping area for practice prior to the round. It certainly exceeded our expectations and we look forward to playing it again soon.

Right now, after good rains the course is on top shape.
