The best testament one can give The Golf Club of Texas (formerly known as The Golf Club of Texas at Briggs Ranch) is that it hosts some big local tournaments.  The large greens and tee boxes are some of the very best San Antonio has to offer.  This is truly a high end facility. If you have not been out to enjoy this course you really need to.  The place is all greened up and with the unique landscaping it's just a real pretty experience with great golf.   The golf carts are outfitted with GPS which gives accurate distance to the pin and shows the contours of the greens.  This track combines Links Style golf with Hill Country golf, giving players a taste of both types of golf.  The course is among the best that San Antonio has to offer. The senior staff is very experienced and the service is all that you would expect at a high-value public course.  The new clubhouse is beautiful and features a full service restaurant. After playing a round, you will really enjoy just sitting on the porch and taking in the view.

Directions:  20 Minutes from downtown. Take U.S. 90 west to Texas 211 (2 exits past loop 1604) and we on the right.  From downtown take 90 west to Texas 211.

Greens Need Work

Overall I was disappointed with the course due to poor greens and bunkers. The greens need to be aerated, watered, and rolled.

Back 9

My Dad and I play here on a regular basis. We love the course, but today we had an issue. Normally, we get the first tee time. We play quickly, so it is nice to move through the course without anyone in front of us. When we get to the 15th tee there are now several groups ahead us. The group directly in front of us has 5 players, so our morning came to a screeching halt. When I got to the clubhouse I asked the attendant why he started the group on the back 9, instead of the front, but he really couldn’t give me a satisfactory answer. This was not a tournament.

We get up early in the morning to avoid slow play, but the course won today. My hope would be this would be an isolated situation, otherwise we will have to find a new course...

Bad shape

You can tell this course was very nice at one time. It has been very neglected for some time. Sand traps hadn’t been racked or edge for a long time. You couldn’t play out of sand traps cause so hard and grass and weeds growing in them. I was very disappointed in this course.

I really like playing the Golf Club of Texas...but...

GCoT is a really nice course. Greens were in good condition...a little bumpy but not bad. Fairways were great, especially for late August. However...the traps were atrocious. Note I did not say "sand" traps as there was barely a grain of sand in any of them. Traps were generally just a hole filled with mud, or rock hard with a few stones.

I would have rate conditions a 4 or maybe even a 5 if not for these traps.

Despite the traps, I will play there again as I enjoy the layout and the rest of the conditions are always good to very good, they have a nice warm up area, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Wish it were better

Intrigued by the full course Zoysia, but course not well maintained; fairways thatchy; cart paths uneven; greens look good but actually quite bumpy. And the course design, in my opinion, very uninspiring. A fairly bare-bones operation. Not worth the extra drive to play there.

Tremendous Value

This course has improved light years in the last few years. Some bunkers needed sand, but otherwise green and fairway conditions were outstanding. The layout has great variety and difficulty is adjustable by choice of tees. It is a bit of a drive from North San Antonio, but fast pace of play more than made up for it - - and you cannot beat the Golf Now deals.

Mother Nature

The golf course was great but, the timing was bad. I travel 120 miles to play this beautiful course and was side tracked by severe weather that hit the San Antonio area with heavy rains, high dangerous winds and hail. The course flooded real quick and for our safety the course manager had to close the golf course. I was only able to play 5 holes and by the time I arrived at the club house was soaking wet. I was treated very well at the club house and hopefully one day soon I can go back and a play full round. Thank you and stay safe, Commish

round was rained out

While playing the 7th hole a large thunderstorm rained us out. I tried to call golf now but the call wouldn't go through.

My question is why. This is the first time this has happened to me. Someone from golf now needs to call me and get the details on the rain out. Thanks, Bob 210-264 44948

New on my Favorites list!

I finally played this course and I really like it! It's a well thought out course design that really gets you thinking strategy from nearly every tee box - even visually intimidating at times! The Zoysia grass is awesome and provides well defined fairways and tour quality rough. Expansive greens are unguarded but with enough undulation in them to make them challenging, although fair. At this time, the greens were pretty thin although they rolled pretty well for the most part. Bunkers have had a lot of sand washed out and are in rough shape. I played from the tips on a moderately windy day and had my hands full! Looking forward a second chance at this course!

Can't beat the price

Very nice and challenging course with well manicured greens, fairways, and tee boxes. The driving range and practice greens are well maintained. The only negative is their greenside bunkers seem to be completely neglected.
