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.

Great Golf - Great improvements

On this particular day we had a frost delay - 07:50 tee time., actual tee off 09:00 (approximately). I had played here numerous times and it’s always getting better and better. Be ready for some of the fastest greens in the area. The grass is the same from tee to green which makes it look great throughout! They have upkepted the course to make it a little easier to find a strayed shot, but still thick enough to lose or make it unplayable from anywhere off the first cut off rough and further out. Still, the course is wide open to make it enjoyable for all handicap levels.

Great layout, decent condition for winter

Played a quick 18 solo this afternoon in about 3 hours. Only a few groups on the course, so I could take my time and do some short game practice on-course.

This course is always a great value for what you get. 7100 from the tips, but very playable— all par 4s are somewhat tight, but with a generous fairway cut you can swing away off the tee.

The zoysia grass is awesome, especially in the winter— the fairway and rough typically produce great lies, and the turf runs firm and fast. The greens are tricky for first time players... hard and fast (10–11) with slopes that make it difficult to lag from outside 30 feet. If you hit it close, the pins are placed in relatively flat areas so 10-footers are makeable.

All in all a great experience— the greens were slightly bumpy, but it didn’t affect the roll very much. Don’t let the brown grass in November deceive you, it’s a very playable course for winter!

Beautiful south Texas Course

Very enjoyable course. Zoisia fairways were in great shape and make for a challenging second cut. Greens very hard and fast, but large to accommodate. Course is pretty and makes you feel like you are out in the country (because you are). Sand traps were unplayable but likely due to the amount of heavy rains San Antonio has experienced recently.

Nice layout, but rough is very overgrown

Great straightforward layout, facilities very nice, friendly staff. Fairways in great shape, greens very firm, but speed is perfect. Rough is way overgrown, even fairway first cut. Lost 2-3 balls just off the fairway. Bunkers still need work. Pace was a bit slow on front 9, backed up 3 groups on several holes. Never saw a marshal. Overall a very good layout, and lower green fees more in line with comparable courses. Definitely a course worth playing.

Disappointing course conditions

Course has the obvious appearance of neglect and poor maintenance. Have played it for years and it is currently in the worst shape since reopening in 2015. Traps were hard packed sand & rock, and had lots of weeds growing in them which indicates they have not been maintained for many weeks or months. The grass on the greens was sparse, yellowish, dead, with bare spots in many places, Looks like a severe of lack of water, aerification & maintenance. The rough is way too thick and high, forcing you to spend a lot of time looking for your ball, thus slowing down play considerably. Many places of knee high rough along and in fairways. Noticed lots of dried grass clippings & "hay' piled up in places indicating lack of timely mowing, Severe lack of drinking water available on the course. No beverage cart service and only one water jug out on the course, other than the one at #1 tee box. The jug out on the course ran out of water when I stopped there about 4:00 PM. They used to have ice chests filled with iced down water bottles....what happened to that? this is August in Texas! Overall, a very disappointing experience and I strongly felt like I certainly did not get value for my money. Pace of play was "excellent" but a two edged sword, because no one was out there! If they do not turn this thing around soon, they will loose it like before and become history.

We appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback. We'd like to address some of the concerns you raised. The bunkers are not at their best and we are working on a plan of action to improve, which will take time for us to resolve. As far as the water on the course, there are ample options for water and are sorry our staff did not communicate the locations. We have water on the range before #1 and #10 and on our restroom where golfers pass 3 times. Due to the heat this time of year, the greens generally struggle. We are in stage 2 water restrictions so some yellowing is expected. Weeds are being addressed now. A rough mower broke down, which happens in our business and we are prepared for that sort of thing. This created a delay in our ability to mow the rough. We are hoping we can get some capital to improve for next year and recovery should be underway! We hope you give us another shot in the near future.

Bad traps

Overall the course was in decent condition, with a couple of serious exceptions. The sand traps are in horrible shape. Partly is because of the recent rain, but that’s not the only issue. Several are overgrown with weeds and grass, and borders on most of them are really bad. On some of the traps the protective plastic is sticking out! The next thing is the maintenance of the rough. Seems they recently got mowed, but a ton of grass clippings all over the edges. Idk what is going on with their maintenance team, but there seem to be some serious maintenance issues. The worst part is that they have increased the price and gotten rid of some nice perks recently.
