Beautiful, scenic course

Nicely laid out and well maintained course. Some of the holes were more picturesque than others, but the very pretty holes were a joy. The tee boxes for the most part were very hard and I broke several tees simply trying to get them into the ground! Greens were a bit bumpy and rather fast. And since the pin placement was on the difficult side, a putt that would have been left two or three inches long, suddenly turned into 10-12 foot putts or even ended up off the green entirely. The water features on this course are wonderful, at least today due to all the rain this spring. We love playing a round here even though the pace of play is noticeably slower than we're used to at other San Antonio area courses.

Beautiful hill country scenery

Nice layout with some interesting holes . Early season conditions were average. Fairways and areas around greens were thin resulting in lots of really tight lies. Greens were as hard as the cart paths making it very difficult to hold approach shots. Greens we're fun to putt on. Rolling smooth and fast. Stay below the hole! Course conditions should improve with spring growth.

Clubhouse staff rude

Upon check in it was apparent, we did not matter as we did not stay at the resort. The gentleman behind the counter didnt say welcome, good morning even a hello. After we told him we were from MN. he still didnt say thanks for coming to play, nothing. Other people walked in and it was good morning, have a great round. Course was very nice enjoyed the lay out very much.

Great layout, greens fast, fairways need work

Interesting layout, quite a bit of water, pretty waterfalls as it must have rained recently. We like playing the course but the tee boxes are so hard you can hardly get a tee in the ground. The fairways look dried out, lots of debris, but lots of roll for us hackers. You need to pick the ball clean as not much give to the fairways. The greens are true and the fastest we have played in Hill Country so far, the only complaint is it was very hard to hold a ball. You had to drop it short and let the ball run on the green and hope it stayed. All in all a good challenge. Staff were very friendly. Beautiful clubhouse.

Great playing in January

The fairway grass was brown as I suppose is to be expected in January. After all, being from Portland, OR it's just great to be able to play golf in January under sunny skies so I don't really care if the grass is green or brown. I thought this was a good and challenging track. I probably had to use more of my clubs on this course than I have used in a long time. I found distances deceiving, some holes looking longer than posted and some looking shorter. All in all, I found this course a really good challenge, and look forward to playing it again.

Texas high country gem

One word "Unbelievable" this is truly a 5 star resort. My wife had a spa day at the resort while I played golf. But what about the course. There are crystal clear spring fed lakes on many holes. 100' foot cliffs in the back ground. one thing I wish I could see the green fairways (fairways are dormant in mid Jan). It is just a beautiful course. Was paired with 2 locals that helped my stay out of trouble and was fun to play with. Was just a great day a golf.

What A Makeover

Everything about the course..practice area, tee boxes, fairways, cart paths, bunkers, and especially greens-first rate. The greens were deceptively fast for a fall round...unbelievably quick, perfect condition. The water hazards were crystal clear, probably a combination of restored spring flow, and perhaps recirculation processes. Pace of play was excellent for a holiday weekend Saturday, early afternoon round.
