Scenic views on every hole!

Loved playing this course. Everything about it (e.g., staff, layout, value etc.) is top notch. If I had to find a negative, it would be that despite having plenty of people on the course (it was spring break) they did not have a drink cart making the rounds.

Tapatio Springs

I've always enjoyed playing this course...scenic and testy. It's noticeable there is a lot of work going on and hopefully it will come together in a few months. The greens are spotty and a little bumpy but should improve as spring and summer arrive. I will be back!!

Very nice course

Overall a very enjoyable day of golf. The course was in great shape for late Winter/early Spring. We breezed through the front 9 without delay. When we hit the back 9, however, there were two groups waiting to tee off on #10. Don't know where they came from since we never even saw another group in front of us on the front side. The rest of the day was extremely slow and we even skipped one hole to get around a fivesome who had a cell phone problem. They could have used a Marshall.

bad experience.

the course itself is great and challenging. first time to play this course and with my luck i end up following a group of 5. the pace was very slow. it took them 15-20minutes per hole. called the front but nothing was done. end up skipping 4-9 hole and played the back nine instead. going to tee off on the 16 hole but had to wait for the ground maintenance to finish what ever he was doing in the middle of the fairway. front desk personel was not to friendly either. it was not a good day for me.

Agree, was tricky for me also. I've played it twice, second time was a little easier. Not that the course is easy! Loved the course, the layout and had no problems with staff or anything, other then my game. O:(

u401365169,

Thank you for your 4-star review. We are glad you find Tapatio beautiful! Since our course is Bermuda grass, it takes about a 75 degree low average for the grass to thrive. So, right now, the grass is what we call "dormant" until we get to that magic number. Once we do, the course will soften up and begin to grow lush, green grass again. We hope you can join us for a round in a couple months to see the changes in the grass!

This is the most beautiful golf course I have ever played. We cannot wait to go back!

Four star rating for conditions is only because we played there at the beginning of January.

Lots Of Fun!

I was fortunate enough to have played this course last year. I'm writing this now due to the fact that I'm heading back to stay at the resort in June for a few days, so of course I'll be playing it one of the days. The wife doesn't know that yet, but I'll spring that on her after the first glass of wine. Upon arrival, I was greeted by an employee that took my bag and placed it on a cart for me. He made sure there was water on the cart etc. Good service there! Bring a few bucks, tipping (for me anyway) is a given. The marshal started me out solo right away, which was great. He was friendly, professional and was very helpful in pointing me in the proper direction. I'm not a great golfer, but for some reason, this course treated me quite well. It was challenging, but at the same time, areas of it were very forgiving. The scenery around the course is absolutely beautiful. Overall I had a great time. Due to a slow day, it was great taking my time and playing at my own pace. I look forward to my arrival in June. Well done Tapatio!

It's a Strait forward course

Have always enjoyed this course. Price is right Scenic views. Deer are nice to see. Play from tips and it's challenging. Play from mid tees and it is forgiving. Some up grades since new ownership.

Only issue on this round was GPS on cart did not work until we were on 8th hole

Disappointment

The area had received some rain the day before, but it wasn't torrential rains. However when I got to the course, they had told me that I could only play the front nine because the back nine was closed because of too much water. Personally, if I was the manager of the place, I would have given the customers a card or voucher for a free round of golf. Instead they just told me to play the front nine twice. I probably won't come back to this place, especially if there's any slight chance of rain the forecast.

Beautiful course, greens need work

Beautiful course layout, great hill country course. The greens were not in great shape, even for winter time. Pace was different from green to green and practice green was not even worth putting on. Would recommend playing the course because the design and layout are awesome! Just need some work on greens.

One of the best courses around San Antonio

This coarse was amazing. The club was very nice and the bathrooms have everything you need for shaving, mouthwash, and showers. Everything is catered so they help you set up your bags, get your your drinks, etc. It's very scenic, far from the main highway so it's really quiet, and very well kept up to its resort standards. There are touchscreen on the carts so it tracks where you are on the coarse. This helps with how far you are away from the hole, and it also keeps score electronically.
