The Golf Club of Texas
About
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.

Beautifully Maintained
Despite the extreme heat, the picturesque condition of the course made play very enjoyable. We virtually had the place to ourselves.
From the tees to the greens the scenes were exceptional. We had never seen it at the high end country club level.
Hello. Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon.
Great Greens
Lush; greens in good conditions; fairways also lush although cut a bit short today; only negative are the traps with standing water and grass growing in many; overall a good outing
Hi. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing The Golf Club of Texas.
Slow play on Saturday
Course setup was nice, glad I got in for $30 or I would have been upset about the 5+ hr round and no Marshall out to speed people up. Green speed was nice but they are bumpy. Overall a fun course just need to speed things up and get the greens rolling better.
Hi! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make a note and we hope to see you back!
Only a few small complaints
Have been playing this course for the past few months. The course is in good shape and I really enjoy the layout.
The only complaints I have is that the bunkers are not in good shape and the greens are a little bumpy. I know they recently did some work on the greens, but there should have been sufficient time for them to be in a little better shape.
If they can get the bunkers in better shape and the greens to run a little smoother, it will be hard to beat this course.
Thank you for your review, Billy. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at The Golf Club of Texas. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Great Value!
Nice course, friendly staff. No drink cart when I played but it was an early tee time? Greens needed some work but overall happy with the course.
Great course but poorly maintained
This course is very difficult to review as it's actually a really good course, though with a major fatal flaw. The staff is nice, the golf club is nice and it has a very good driving range. It is well designed with fairly well maintained fairways and greens. Why the poor rating? Just a few feet off each fairway is surrounded by thick native grasses that will absolutely gobble up nearly any ball that touches them. You better hit the fairway or small areas of surrounding rough or expect to lose your ball. PGA professionals could probably count on losing strokes due to lost balls on this course, making it one of the most frustrating courses in the area. I get that they only have a small staff of six maintaining the course, but they could absolutely find a way to mow the overgrowth every few months - until they do, my friends and I are going to avoid this course.

First time was a pleasant discovery
I've been playing golf in San Antonio for years and had never made the trip to the Golf Club of Texas. They were able to accommodate last minute tee times on Memorial Weekend, so we decided to check it out. The course was in great shape, and the staff was very friendly.

Fun and pretty course
It was a nice course to play and had great views. It was challenging and very fun. The course was not in great shape. The greens are hard as rocks and very bumpy. Other than that it was amazing.

Nice layout but condition of greens not so good.
The Soya grass golf course is fun to play, WHEN it is in good condition. The greens need work and are very bumpy and hard. They need top dressing and to be punched to soften and smooth them out. Greenside bunkers are never in good condition, poorly maintained always. The service in the restaurant area is absolutely the worst of any golf course I play. The staff ignores you and it takes 20-30 minutes to get served, AFTER you finally have to ask if you can get waited on. This is an ongoing and continuous problem at this facility. TERRIBLE FOOD SERVICE!!!
The Golf Club of Texas is currently Aerifying the greens. This will be the first time the club has aerified since it re opened.
We anticipate better playing conditions and overall softer greens. The bunkers are in need of work and we are in discussions to
address the concerns.
As far as the service, our goal is to improve our services on a daily basis provided to our customers. We address these concerns and appreciate your feedback so we can make steps in the right direction.
Hello, Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing The Golf Club of Texas.
4.5 hours for 15 holes....
It was a painfully slow Saturday round. I was a single golfer that was put behind multiple groups (which is fine and I understand) but when making the turn, a tournament was shotgunning on various holes, including #10, so I was instructed by the pro shop to follow the B group on the 10th tee. Thus adding two groups in front of a single that was already keeping up w the group in front. Unfortunately, this also meant i was in the middle of the tournament groups (others had shotgunned off of 9) making for an extremely awkward situation. Fortunately one of the tournament groups joined with me as a 5some to speed up play. Which whenever a 5some is speeding up play, youve got problems. Finally after about 4.5 hours I called it quits on the 15th hole.
Course layout was great, conditions were what you’d expect for this price point, but the scheduling in the pro shop was extremely sub par.
Don’t plan to play again. Recommend paying a little more and going somewhere more organized.

Nice course
Very nice Pro Shop, Bar area, driving range, chipping and putting greens. The course is really nice and has wide open fairways, but can play tough when the wind is blowing. The rough area has really tall grass, so if you hit there you will definitely lose your ball. No sense in walking through the y’all grass to be surprised on whatever else you will come up on. Just be careful. The fairways were a little hard, so good on the balls that hit and will just run, but bad on your second shot on the hard ground. Did not have much rain before I played so I understand. The greens are huge, but just as hard so many shots I had on the green bounced off. I just hit shots short of the green so they would bounce or roll up in the green. Price was really good, but that was for Super Twilight. I played before on an earlier time on the weekend and I thought the price was very steep. I will stick to Twilight and Super Twilight.

Good layout!
This course has had its ups and downs over the years. I was pleasantly surprised at the great shape it was in! Bunkers still need some work, but the rest of the course was the best it has been in years!
Thank you for the fantastic 5-star review of our golf course. We appreciate you taking the time and hope you will let us know if you ever need anything while you are here. Come back and see us again very soon for more of the best golf in town.
No Marshall
Unfortunately we got stuck behind a lolligagging group. Did not see a single Marshall to help enforce a reasonable pace of play. Course conditions were what you’d expect for a mid $20s/round course. After playing 13 holes in 3.5 hours we decided to leave. Staff is friendly and does their best.
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Needs some Maintenance
Course was in decent shape. The roughs are overgrown with a lot of weeds. Fairways and greens were decent.
Cart paths are deteriorating and needs some repair. On a Sunday there was no one driving a beverage cart and the restaurant was not staffed appropriately. Although, the waitress Chloe did an awesome job trying to help out golfers making the turn and those finishing up and watching the Tiger win the Masters.

Great course Bumpy fast greens
Course is very nice and design is good. the zoysia greens need to be rolled after they are cut they where so bumpy very unpredictable in speed and roll surface. No cart person.
We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. It is great to see you had an enjoyable time on the course and we hope you join us for another round soon.
