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.

Good golf with unfortunately Lousy Service afterward - AGAIN!

Although the golf course was fun to play, I have to downgrade my overall rating due to the POOR SERVICE in the Bar/Restaurant area AGAIN. We waited 35 minutes to get served and I finally had to go to the bar to get drinks and order an appetizer. This is an on-going issue with this club and it needs to be fixed. The food manager and waitress staff need to understand that good service pays off, and lousy service such as this over an extended period of time detracts golfers from wanting to come back to play and relax after the round. This is the fourth straight visit to this course with the same lousy service. The club Manager needs to take corrective action to see that patrons are served in an appropriate time.

Always a fun place with great course and friendly staff.

Typically, a fun place with a friendly staff. It's a great value with Hill Country terrain. The place is well managed with above average kitchen and bar area. Our 4some plays GCT as often as possible.

Good Value and experience

There are a couple of challenging holes. The course is in good shape and the greens receptive. They are replacing all the course signage so you need to keep an eye out a few times when the cart paths cross. Friendly staff. Will play this one again, hopefully with less wind.

Fun

This course is a fun course has a kinks feel with how open it is. The zoysia creates nice lies in the fairways but can be bouncy to putt on. All in all for it almost being spring course was in good shape. Greens don’t receive spin well so club down and let the ball release to the pin

Very Playable

Course was wide open with very large greens. Biggest problem was there was very little sand in the traps. It was impossible to get your wedge under the ball.

Fun course, we will definitely play here again.

Overal we enjoyed the course and day. Our only concerns were lack of sand in the green side bunkers and slow play. ( 5 hour round, we called after 6 holes, but nothing changed). The greens and fairways are very good. The layout was fun and staff friendly. Thank you for a good day.

An all around great experience!

A very nice layout with super quick greens and well maintained grounds in general. Staff extremely helpful (the starter Doc gave us a great overview of the course and some scoring hints). Pace of play was great. Would love to play here again.

Bunkers stink

Generally the course is in good shape considering we're just coming out of winter. The bunkers though seem to be filled with 50% clay and 50% sand making playing them difficult.
