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.

New owners have done wonders
The course has a COMPLETE make over. You gotta play it to see all they have done. AWSOME and its winter time. I can't imagine how beautiful this place is going to be in summer. I will find out.
Great place to play for all skill levels.
Wide fairways, Good size greens.
Great time on a fun and challenging course
It's been 15 yrs or so since it was last open to the public, when a buddy told me they had recently opened it up again. Reluctantly I decided to go based solely on the price, figuring it was going to be in awful shape. Butt long story short, I am glad I went. Course was in great shape even in late December. It was tough and challenging, but fun. By far the best greens in San Antonio. It was like putting on glass they were so true. Definitely going back and I highly recommend course.
So great to hear you gave the course another shot after 15 years! We're glad you did and hope to see you again soon!
Good Test of golf
Would like to play here at least once a month. Greens were large, rolled true and very large. Hit my longest drive of the year 311 yards on 13!
Nice! Thank you for the 5 star review! We're so glad you enjoyed your time at the course and hope to see you again soon!
tight fairways and hard greens
Maybe it is the time of the year, but course was not plush.
Thank you for your feedback! The course is getting better each day. We hope to see you back again soon.
Newly Renovated and Eager to Challenge
I was told they were redoing this course early last year and I finally was able to get out and play this course. Let me tell you what - they are doing a great job with the renovations! A couple of greens still need some work, but I tell you they are great and extremely fast! The fairways are open. The course is LONG! It was particularly long this day due to the wind. I enjoyed the course so much I became a member!
Good experience
It was very nice playing at this Course. People were so kind! Course conditions are very good
Thank you for the 4 star review! We're so glad you enjoyed your time at the course, hope to see you again soon!
Good Course Not So Good Customer Service
Simple put... The Golf Couse of Texas did not honor the Golf Now deal of the day tee time that I made. I had to pay regular price. The round was good because a round of golf supersedes bad customer service. Will I play there again maybe but will be when I have no other choice :-(
Thank you for your review and feedback. We take every review serious and use it to better our organization. We hope you give us another chance as we pride ourselves on being on of the friendliest courses in Texas. We do apologize for the inconvenience you experienced on this day, please check your email in the coming days from a promo code to give us another shot!
Good track but over priced
Course design allows for low handicap players to be challenged from the tips, higher handicaps will enjoy the forward tees. I love what they are trying to do with zoysia grass and the waste areas to conserve water. The forced carries on the short par 4 and long par 3 get the blood pumping . Your ball is teed up nicely when you're in the fairway with the new turf . Nice change of pace from Bermuda on most courses in the area . The greens need some work
However for $65 to $75 green fees they are WAY over priced what you can play in the area . I was a little put off that they offered a tourist a $30 rate but local $65 seems a little backwards . You can drive an extra 10 minutes and play Alsatian twice for the fee charged at golf club of Texas while getting a little better quality.
For $65-$75 you should play La Cantara , Quarry or Silver Horn. Wouldn't pay more than $40 to play here again.
Thank you for your review! We do offer the best rates online and many different options for our locals. We have the Player Pass and San Antonio Player Pass and a few other options. These will save you money year round! We also offer our best rates 6-8 days in advance, prices will increase as the tee time expiration gets closer. Be sure to book early and save!
This course is much improved since makeover
This course is much improved after its recent
makeover. It will take a few years of continued
care to get it in to great shape. Until then I wouldn't
pay no more than $30.00 to play it.
Thank you for your review on the course! We're so glad you came out. We do offer the best rates online 6-8 days in advance before the desired day. We also offer different packages for locals in the San Antonio area, it's the best way to save money year round. Please check out our website for more information! www.GolfClubTexas.com
Great experience
First time to play this course and enjoyed the round. Course has an interesting lay out. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Thank you Marty2319738 for your review! We hope to see you again soon for another round!
Thank You again for you review!
Very open but no shade
Course is very open, but no shade. The course is decent for the price point paid but will not play there again.
Thanks for your feedback about the course! We do offer water stations throughout the course and have a full restaurant and bar. We hope you give us another shot!
It has Potential
The course is starting to make a comeback after a renovation process, some areas still need work but it looks as they are making an effort. Greens had some problem issues. I would play it again but NOT at the rack rate they have.
Thanks for your feedback! The course is starting to come along especially with the rain! We do offer our best rates 8-6 days in advance so be sure to book your tee time early for the best rate.
Needs more water.
A wide open course that is relatively easy. Not real scenic because of surrounding scrub land and numerous apartment complexes. A lot of the sodded fairways and surrounding areas are struggling from lack of moisture and there were many places where the sod has died. Seems a shame to spend that much on this course and not have the water necessary to ensure success of your sodding job. There are also numerous broken up areas of original cart paths. Maybe the coming rains will help this course. Time will tell.
Dry conditions
Although I think the course has potential the current condition of the course is fair at best. The fairways were extremely dry to the point there were cracks opening up in the soil. A lot to the cart paths seemed damaged from the dry conditions. Hopefully the conditioning will improve soon.
With the recent rain the course will be in great shape! We hope to see you again soon.
Getting there
Needs rain and some more fairway conditioning . Once landscape matures throughout the course that will be a course to reckon with .
Not bad, water will help
Course needs rain like every where else. Still has some marks from where they worked on the course, but water will help seal those spots. I had never played there even before the renovations, and enjoyed my time there. I will go back and take friends, family with me.
Thank you for the nice review! We have since gotten some rain and are excited to see the course come together.
Rennovations not yet worth the money
Overpaid as GolfNow deal cost more than paying direct. Staff unwilling to help and told me to take it up with GolfNow. Renovations evident and course will grow in, but worth about half the money right now.
Hi there - we're sorry to hear about the issue with GolfNow. We do ask that any problems you may have with the hot deal is taken up with GolfNow customer service. It is sold by them and we have no control over it. We hope you give us another shot!
A must in San Antonio
This is the second time I played course since reopening. The greens are much better and a lot faster. Will be perfect in a month or so. Even with no rain the course played great. Really a great choice using zoysia as the grass of choice. Playability is incredible. Staff was great and food was wonderfull. I will be joining the Tuesday night scramble for steak and golf. And considering joining the MGA as well. I will continue to frequent this course. A must in San Antonio.
Thank you for the excellent 5 star review! We're so glad you enjoy the overall experience at the course and everything it has to offer! The greens are getting excellent with time. We hope to see you again soon!
Not sure we're gonna make it!
I started playing this course about 8 years ago and have seen it at it's worst and its best. The renovations were long overdue. When we had the chance to go out and play the course again after the renovations, we were not disappointed. The changes were subtle (except for the mass removal of vegetation), but added a nice touch to the course.
So, we went back and played using the Player's Pass. This is really the only way this course is worth the money. Guys, $79 for this course is just out of control! (For $79, the beverage cart girls need to be wearing bikinis.)
Finally, please please please water this course before you lose it forever! Not sure how much money was pumped into this thing to resuscitate it from the cow pasture it turned into, but you're about to flatline!
Thanks so much for the great feedback! The course and facilites are looking excellent, come out soon and see!
