The renovation turned out great!

Love the receptive greens. Approach shots will not simply bounce away. Nice undulations allow for challenge with no fear of "glass-like" putt rolls. Fairways allow for good roll and some are very generous in their width.

Every hole will test your draw, fade, or straight bias. A premium is placed on knowing how to play your bias with differing holes and elevations. Altogether, this makes for an enjoyable round in the scenic Texas Hill Country. Please, be careful not to slow the pace of play by taking pics at every hole. I did take pics but I was not playing in a foursome. Enjoy folks!

Indiana Guests

The staff at the clubhouse and the bar were outstanding. The view from the patio after the round was very warm and inviting that gave the view surrounding the course a greater experience. Having the fireplace and the guitar players adding to the experience made it a memorable time that will bring us back.

Outside the City

WOW! Didn't know much about Tapatio Springs, we were looking for something a little different then our regular course. Our tee-time was 7:10, first ones off, on a morning that started with a light rain. The views and vistas around the course are incredible. After number 1, hole 2 and 3 bring water into play, and will all the rain there was plenty of it. The fairways were in really good shape, not spongie even with a week of rain on them. Greens had been recently aerated. Made it though 9 holes before the heavy rains hit, which made play nearly impossible. We plan on returning for a round in nice dry weather.

Great day on the course

We go t started about 715am and never had to wait for the group in front nor were pushed by the group in back. Course was in great shape and the greens were consistent. Last time I played, there were 3 greens that were now and had a different speed than the older greens. This time I never noticed a difference. Each hole offers a little different challenge and the scenery was great.

Greens need work

Great layout, great scenery, aggravating greens. Surface treatments of greens make the ball actually roll up slope at times. The practice if disrupting the surface and creating "corn rows" to putt through takes the enjoyment out of the round. Need to find a way to keep greens playable while performing routine maintenance. Other courses I've played have done the same treatments without disrupting ball roll.

phom69,

We also wanted to add we are proud of the may advances we have made to the golf experience and customer satisfaction at Tapatio Springs Resort. For the benefit of all the golfers who appreciate the reviews and comments provided by Golf Advisor, the greens at Tapatio recently received a deep verticutting. Verticutting is a common maintenance practice provided for high quality greens to both increase turf density and curb the impact of plant/leaf grain. Tapatio Springs Resort is a high quality golf experience due in part to the quality turf conditions we have achieved and continue to nurture. Regular intervals of verticutting is part of our maintenance practices however, we recently applied a deeper more aggressive setting prior to the expected sustained summer temperatures. Regular verticutting depths will usually go unnoticed by the average golfer while a deep verticut may be noticed for 3-4 days. Thank you for your comments and every opportunity you have to visit us for quality golf at Tapatio Springs Resort!

Best regards,

Tapatio Springs Golf Management

Better than the original

Let me start by saying I have been playing Tapatio since it first opened in the early 80's. We have seen it go from a beautiful course to a completely unplayable course.

We have watched the transition over the past two years, from the new Tee boxes to the new bunkers, the new irrigation system and the rebuild of several greens.

We played there on Sunday, May 15th and I promise you the course is in the best condition it has ever been in. With the new bunkers and the new irrigation system the course is in even better condition than it was when it was first built.

After the round stop off at the Ta"Patio", the new back porch that let's you look over the course and think about the round you just finished. Oh and don't forget to get the brisket nachos.

All in all a wonderful experience. Get out there now before everyone else discovers this true diamond in the hill country.

Thanks to the entire Tapatio team for all you have done to not only bring back this majestic course but to make it better than it has ever been!
