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 course in good condition

Had perfect weather. Course and greens were in good condition. Greens were fast. Course could use some more distance markers than just a 150ys marker but not going to dwell on it. Had a nice time. Friendly staff and decent price for the course.

Great Course and Value

The course looked very neat and trimmed. We enjoy

playing it and the excellent bar and restaurant serve great beers and food. It's worth the drive regardless where you start in the SA area.

Staff people are friendly and helpful at all times. We continue to return a few times a month.

Great place.

Nice cource

We are on a business vacation and find this course from the net through rate.

It seems a little slow, but it is the weekend and we saw a fox and a beautiful walking bird.

US KIDS GOLF was on the same day and the staff help us on the communication with the group in front of us.

Their GPS is more of a marketing tool then a helpful tool

WAY TOO many advertisements. via the GPS, very annoying. ALSO, the non-fairway areas could use a good mowing.

Almost there

The facilities and staff seemed top notch. Nice driving range. It's hard to tell whether budget or kitsch was driving some things on the course. The hole numbers are hand-painted sticks and the tee markers themselves are hand-painted branches, with faded paint so if you relied on color rather than position, you might have had problems.

Only real criticism about the course itself was a few shabby sand traps near greens, and brutally firm greens. Could not get a ball to check up at all!

"All The Way Back" !!

After some six(6) years, the chance to play The G.C.o T. was seamed suspect. To my delight, I was totally impressed with the quality of the course, from tee-box, fairways, to greens. All I could say was, "The Golf Club of Texas is "all the way back" ! Calling my best friend and telling him, made it's final turn yesterday, as he experienced the returned 'course'. Great experience, layout, and challenge !

Awesome course, especially for the price

This course has become one of my favorite tracks in Texas for the money (important to keep that last part in mind :)). Greens are firm, but fair, and have been in great shape last 2 times I've played. My only complaints with the course are the shape of the bunkers (really need to add some sand) and that they don't have a cart girl on the course very often. Other than that it is a very solid track.

Side note- I'm a 5 handicap, which I normally wouldn't state, but I think it's relevant so you know I've played a lot of golf in my life. I just want to try and keep this little gem open!

Course in great condition !

Course was in great condition from tee to green. Played in the afternoon and pace of play was great overall. bunkers were very saturated, most likely from rains that we have had and had not drained yet leaving wet sand to hit out of. Bar area was very busy and looked like only 1 person working the counter. Waited 5 minutes to get service and had to leave to start my round. I would only suggest having more people on hand to help customers. People literally trying to hand over their money to buy drinks/food, etc... but no one to take it. Overall a great course and will definitely play here again soon !

Frustrating

We were a twosome, when we made the turn we got stuck behind two fivesomes. We waited for ever, called the pro shop, but no one came out. When we finally got done my buddy went inside to complain and they gave us free green fees, don't know if I want to go back. Fivesomes are not allowed in any of the other courses I play!!

Great course for the Money.

This course has everything going for it, prices are always reasonable and the fairways and greens are always plush! I play here at least once a month and have enjoyed the round every time. It has challenges, but good shots are rewarded!
