Much improved.

Last time I played the greens were not in great shape. That was one year ago. They are putting in some work to get this in better shape. First time in several years number one green was filled completely with grass and Number 5 has been horrible shape for years, no more, it is getting better. Course had been punched a few weeks back but it was coming in nicely. Slow greens but after a few you get the speed down. If they can keep the greens improving this is a great course:

Tapatio Springs

Two of us played alone in late July. We liked it enough to drive back from Bandera to the course two more times while we were in the area for a week. They told us twice that there were other people set to play with us however we were able to sneak off early and play in 3 1/2 hours each time since it was not packed solid. With that said, we were disappointed that some people kept hitting into us and not waiting for us to clear. We were more than on pace to finish our round in a timely manner. The course was in good condition since there had been a lot of rain this summer. Some of the tee boxes were missing grass, some of the greens had some rough patches, but overall we thoroughly enjoyed the course, using the GolfNow app to reserve tee times. The greens ran very slow. It was very easy to check in and grab a cart and head to the practice area. However, we were slightly disappointed that during the week there were no bag boys to assist with your clubs or setting up your cart. The carts have GPS screens and hole layouts. However, we noticed multiple times that the distances were not accurate. One day the pin placement was completely different than what was programmed on the cart. On some holes, it would say the drive was significantly different from the actual yardage. With that said though, that is only one tool to use to manage your distance game. This seems to be a part Member, part public course. The attire was significantly more casual than our members only club. The staff that was tending to us was very pleasant and accommodating. We went in the bar area after our round and enjoyed cocktails and apps. The deviled eggs were terrific. I would definitely go back if we are in the area.

Another day in Paradise

I am a beginner golfer (at age 60) and very much appreciate the staff being patient, encouraging and answering my questions... I seriously knew nothing about golf before I started!! I just knew, I wanted to learn and have fun!

Tapatio is perfect!!!

A Golf Junket to Tappitio Springs

I 1st heard about this Tapitio back in the '00s. Our club pro & a few of my buddies road-tripped there for a day of competitive golf & playing cards. Everyone said the course is a fun, challenging layout. There were a few issues that arose on a course in the summers in Texas, but they were minor. In all greens were in good shape!

I had an opportunity to enjoy Tapitio's Thanksgiving buffet several years ago. The food, clubhouse & amenities were very pleasant. I was not able to play the loop that day but I did come back. I was not disappointed with the course conditions!

Fantastic course, beautiful views

Nice little drive from Austin to Boerne and we took advantage by staying the night at the resort as well. Such a fun layout, I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend staying the night too. Got done with my round and within 15 minutes we were in the pool with a pina colada.

New Mgmt let Greens go to &$@?!

I’ve been coming to stay and play at TS Resort for 24 years. The resort is nice, not awesome, but the course has always been fun, interesting and well maintained. My friend and I, here for our annual “guys golf” trip were quite surprised at how bad the greens were. There’s a temporary green on hole 5, but many of the holes were almost un-puttable, depending on your line. Lots of large bare spots. The price is not justified by the care of the greens.As a small complaint, we never saw the beverage cart on at least one nine of each of our three rounds. It definitely seems like golf is not a priority at TS Resort anymore. Sad, really.

Golf Tapatio

Some greens were in sad shape and a temporary green was an unexpected surprise. Have played there since 2017 and was disappointed in the course conditions since new management company took over.

Really? Still car-path only??

I love this course, and I understood the car path only thing when it was super dry (or super wet, less times)

But now the weather and the course conditions were perfect, and it is STILL car path only. I don't get it. And it is super annoying; I'd rather walk with a push cart.

Otherwise, great course.

Nice But Not Worth the Price

It was rainy and Drizzly, so unfortunately the course was cart path only even though the course was dry. This was my first time playing the course and I was told it was a good course.

Overall the course was pretty easy and not that much of a challenge. Bunkers were in good shape but the greens were spotty and bare on some holes. It was obvious they lost some of their greens. Hole 14 was the worst of all.

Carts had a rain cover to protect the clubs. That was nice. The best piece of golf gear I own came in very handy again, a hand squeegee!

Range balls are included but had to hit from mats. The mats do not allow you to put a tee, small or full size. The range is elevated too so it was hard to get distances.

I saw no beverage cart. The course is well laid out. I just don’t know if it is worth the prices being charged for greens fees. There are better options in SAT for that price point.

Not for me

Overall I had a fair round of course condition was poor the greens were in really bad shape really dry I know it's Texas but they're right next to a natural spring put some water on the fairways and the greens and it'd be worth the money but until then go to buckhorn they seem to take care of their face a little bit better work on the course conditions and I'll be back until then put them in the middle of the fairway
