This course was pretty fun.

Really a short course with a few difficult spots. If you drive the ball 315+ like I do be prepared to hit a few greens in one if playing from the second tees. There was only one problem I had. One was if you don't have a gps rangefinder good luck on the distance guesses. There aren't any makings of distance with the exception of two really short cedar stumps that are painted. I wish the water hazords would've had more water in them, but I understand how south texas is. All in all it was fun and I woukd play there again.

Thoroughly enjoyed the course and the staff. They were excellent

From the moment we arrived, as visiitors from Saskatchewan, we were made to feel welcome and appreciated for coming.
This is one of the nicest courses we have played here in Texas.

A must play with scenic views.

Very enjoyable for the first time playing the course. A must visit if not to play golf, to enjoy the views and scenery. Very spacious and well decorated pro shop, restaurant, outdoor patio, you name it. Every section looked awesome! My son and I were extremely pleased and everything exceeded my expectations. Great price for a great venue.

I hope that George uses a wad of his Pesos to really refurbish these 3 courses because the overall layout of these courses is spectacular.

The overall layout of these courses provide some excellent views and the elevation changes provide a opportunity to test a golfer's shot making ability. Many shots require fairly long carries over some pretty gnarly areas. Fun courses to play but bring a lot of balls if you are a 10+ handicap. I wish that they would have overseeded the fairways for winter/spring play.

Great setting and views

This course has a great and beautiful setting. Everything about my experience was great, with the only negative being that the course could use a little better maintainence--which is to say that everything was in good condition, but it is the only thing keeping this from being a 5-star review. If the course were green and lush, then it would truly be a hidden gem. Regardless, the course is fun, scenic, and a good balance of challenging yet forgiving though most of the holes are on the shorter-than-average side.

Whew what a day!

We really enjoyed playing this course, yet again! We teed off early in the morning, after finishing we had lunch at the fantastic restaurant, then thought heck lets play another 18, guess what they only charged us $16 per person for the replay! 36 holes and great lunch, just needed a massage and it would have been a perfect day!

Short, but pretty. Clubhouse renovation is very nice. The course still needs work.

I have played this course for over 20 years. The clubhouse renovations are great. Now George and his partner need to spend some money on the golf course. Appears that the sand traps were redone. Now aerate and water those fairways.

I was disappointed to see the fairways so dry. We played the Ridge and Lakes.

I would recommend this course when the fairways are in better shape.

Its was a great day of golf.

The greens were in very good shape and the course was very fun to play. I will return. The weather was also a factor in the great day of golf!!!! Must be traditional for Hill country golf....but with over 45 years of playing golf, this was the first time I played with jeans...Nice Touch!!!!

A beautiful course

We got our tee times on Golfnow and it was a bargin for this course. It was mid feb when we played and the course is just greening up. It must be spectacular in the summer time. The course was very challenging for me and my wife but very enjoyable. The surronding houses make for great viewing between shots. The pace of play was a little over 4 hours so that was fine. We did not play the ridge 9. I heard that is even more challenging. We will be back for sure.

Try the Ridges

Went twice in a week to Tapatio and ended up playing all 27 holes. Almost all of the course is in great shape with the Ridges 9 giving the best challenge and views. I'll be going back any time golfnow has a firesale.

Challenging and Beautiful

This course was fun and challenging. The narrow fairways require careful shot selection when approaching the greens, as there are many dogleg holes. Every hole offers a beautiful view, which makes the difficult play a little less frustrating. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking for a really nice course to play that isn't too expensive.

Nice course...great potential

27 holes of fun. Valley (open), Lakes (water on 7 of 9) and Ridge (our favorite). Ridge had lots of blind shots, narrow landing areas, lots of elevation changes. Target golf at it's best. On #6 we had to drive up inside 80 yards just to see the top of the flagstick down below. Definite risk reward opportunities throughout the 9 holes.

We hadn't played here for well over 15 years and we were astonished at the changes. New clubhouse, restaurant, bar and proshop.

Course itself was typical for winter in South Texas. Fairways a little thin, bunkers need work (not much sand depth), greens a little rough, but puttable. Greens on the Ridge 9 were in much better shape.

It's obvious the new ownership group has already invested a LOT of money in the facilities. No reason to believe they won't continue to pump money into the golf course to protect their entire investment to date.

Overall, we see potential for a GREAT course and golf experience. We highly recommend the Ridge 9 for a golf experience not usually found in the South Texas area.

We WILL play here again... REAL SOON and often.

course was in good shape. We played in under 4 hours. Plenty of bunkers. Some long holes and plenty of trees.

I would play this course again. Most member play early and when we played there was no one in front of us and was very pleasant to play. Alot of bunker and different elevation shots.
Very good course.

Great value fun layout.

Tapatio Springs won't be mistaken any time soon for Augusta National or Pebble Beach, but it is definitely worth the price and the 4 mile winding drive from IH-10. I played the Lakes and Valley courses by myself and had a great time.
The pace of play was astounding. I played the front in a little over an hour without feeling like I was rushing. In fact, there was a twosome of older men in front of me and, while I waited on a few shots that was an exception. I played all 18 in 2 hr 30 min. I played through a couple of groups on the back and they were all very gracious and friendly. As were all of the staff both in the golf shop and the restaurant.
I got a fantastic deal on GolfNow.com. Only $26.93 for 18 holes a cart and free range balls. In my opinion, it would have been a great deal at twice the price.
The layout is both fun and challenging. There are a few pretty easy holes and a few quite hard holes with fairly long carries over hazards. The bunkers are well placed to keep you on your toes. All in all, it's a good test of your shot making and general golf skill.
I'll play there again!
