One Step Closer to Perfection

The only way I can describe Tapatio is a fine wine, not the $20 bottle, I'm talking the $170 bottle in the glass cabinet. I've played here 4 times over the last 2 years and every single time the course has changed layout in some way. But its better every single time. I'm ecstatic to see the course after this renovation is through in October. We played it Monday and it was in bad shape, Tee boxes were moved, greens were closed, almost all bunkers were under construction. But this is what I will say, the landscaping, and fairways around that construction was out of this world. The quality of the grass they used in the fairways is some of the best I’ve ever seen. The greens that were open were great and extremely challenging. This will be a top 10 place to play in SA if not Texas when they are done. Amazing course everyone, keep it up!!!.

Course under total renovation

It's worth noting that the course is under total renovation. Several hole have makeshift greens and Tees. All the course bunkers are still being redone; it takes a lot of patience and tolerance to play this course. Members may be able to over look the renovations, but I would not play the course again until the overhaul is complete. It is massive.

The Tap comes through, as always.

Always enjoy going out to Tapatio Springs. The course is usually in great shape, even after the droughts of the past few years and the rain during 2015. Tapatio is a great value for what you are asked to pay in green fees. Even though this outing was purchased as a "hot deal" from Golfnow, our group would still pay the regular price and feel like we got more than what we paid for.

Tapatio Springs

The course and water features were in great shape after all the rain it has gotten this past year. It is closing on July 6 for renovations that are scheduled to last 6 weeks. It should be even nicer when they are completed.

Very Nice Place to Play

A little over priced unless you get a tee time on line. This course has vastly improved over the last year. Fairways and green are now in good condition on their way to becoming great. This course is deceiving and tricky. One must place his or her shots in the right location. It is nestled in the Hill Country and surroundings are beautiful. Staff is excellent and friendly and the club house is top notch. They are adding new amenities and are bringing this gem to a true resort quality course. Over all four stars out of 5.

Amazing Views

1st time at Tapitio. My son brought me for a belated Father's Day outing. Plenty of elevation changes, water, and scenery. If you're staying in San Antonio definitely worth the 45 min drive to Boerne .

Keeps Getting Better

I've been playing Tapatio for several years and it gets better with each visit. The staff is constantly making improvements to the course. On my most recent visit there were a few greens where new grass was planted and a couple bunkers that were under repair, but overall the course was in great shape.

If you want to get away from the city, experience the hill country, and play a round of golf for a reasonable price you can't find a better course than Tapatio.

Looks and feels like the Texas Hill Country

Enough difficulty to not become complacent but easy enough that you will want to come back. It's like a ride in the park with beautiful Texas style homes surrounding the course. Excellent food and the staff is very friendly. Recent renovation to the driving range/practice is very appealing to the eye. We understand that much more of the resort facilities are to be renovated soon. It is very appealing as is but may just be storybook upon completion. We will visit again!!!!!!

Tapatio Springs

This course is under new ownership as of 6 months ago and you can already see the progress. The fairways are in great shape, the greens are fast and in good shape. The course design is outstanding and the views are spectacular. The staff is very friendly and the service is great.. Booked it on golfnow for $38 @ 12:30 on a Sunday.
Free range balls and gps on carts.

Hidden Gem

This course has been around for over 25 years, and I have avoided it due to the ownership woes they have had. The layout of the course is amazing it had just fallen into disrepair due to neglect. This is no longer the case. The greens are still a little rough and there are several bunkers under construction as well as other areas. That being said the views and overall layout is worth the money. I will play here often before they start to charge a premium price once all the work is completed.

Golf Course Improving

I've played Tapatio springs approximately ten times dating back over ten years.. There have been times where I thought this place was really struggling to keep up with other high end golf courses in the area. Recent ownership changes have been very good for this golf course.. You can see that they are making significant improvements to the course right now including Bunker repair, fairway improvements, and general ground repair. Tapatio Springs has always been beautiful, but now and moving forward I think you can expect it to be one of the better manicured courses around San Antonio.

good course for the money

played April 27th 2015. They were doing a lot of maintenance the day we played, plugging fairways installing new bunkers, fixing some of the tee boxes but we still enjoyed playing the course. I played back tees and the course was all i wanted as far as difficulty. Employees were nice and scenery was very nice liked the clear, clean river through course. Greens were very good, We liked course and will play it again after the mainteance is finished.

Great location, beautiful course, a staff that bends over to help you. The down side, called before making reservation & was never told the course & dinning area were being reworked. The course has it's water back, lakes & streams which makes for a beautiful setting.
