About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 71
Length 6436 yards
Slope 122
Rating 70.4

Alsatian GC is an 18-hole with water in play. Front side fairly open and flat, almost links type play. Hole 2 surrounded by waterways and bunkers. Back side is hilly and has lots of trees. Super finishing hole with a tree in center of uphill fairway.

Throughout the course you will find challenging and beautiful fairways lined with trees and Spanish Dagger. The course also offers distance wedge game range, practice bunkers, three-level putting green, and a pre-round putting green.

Lodging: The Alsatian Inn is located approximately two miles from the club. A very nice facility, it has ninety rooms, a swimming pool, and a really good restaurant. Children under the age of fourteen stay free.

Distance: About 30 minutes from downtown on Highway
90 West to Castroville. But worth the trip....  Take Highway 90 West through Castroville; turn right at the blinking light just past the Alsatian Inn; veer left on CR 4516. Course is 2.5 miles down on the right.

Alsation

I love being able to get tee time at super rate. Pace of play is fantastic. Can scoot around course in about 3 hours. I have been working on practicing pretending tennis ball between forearms and also move my right hand farther down the shaft almost like baseball grip. This is helping me with one piece feel of golf club and it worked. Shot an 80 from the tips with four good looks at birdie ( two lipped out and made one). Course has hard and easy holes which is want amateurs need. They don't want to be frustrated playing this already difficult game.

Nice Course

Well maintained and very good condition. Staff is professional and courteous.

I play here at least once a week and it never disappoints.

Challenging at times with a few well placed easier holes to give you a break.

Definitely recommend to anyone who plays regularly. Worth the drive from San Antonio and the stop at Haby's Bakery on the way back into town is a bonus.

Fun course

It's a great course however with it being summer time the greens were a little choppy, as they punched them I guess 1 to 2 weeks ago. It would've been nice to know that before I went and played

Course was surprisingly quiet

Stayed at the Alsace Hotel, and this course is 2 miles away. Nice clubhouse with very friendly staff. Bottled water and ice cooler greet you on the porch. Very small putting practice area, had no time to go to the driving range unfortunately. You make the turn between 10 & 11, called ahead at #9 and food was ready at the grill. Really enjoyed the back 9, front was good, just a little less interesting.

Solid 3 to 3.5 stars

Alsatian is a decent little drive out to the west side of San Antonio near Castroville. Solid 3-3.5 star course (Golfadvisor should really allow half star ratings). Conditions were nice. Not 5 star resort quality, but much better than some I've played. Fairways were trimmed and tee boxes were groomed. Greens rolled above average with medium speed. Not tons of break. Some spots in the fairway had pods of crab grass/weeds but nothing that hindered play. They were mostly nice. Rough wasn't super thick. Basically like playing out of a normal cut yard. Decent round. Not an overly tough course. Much more of a country club type feel. Not long. 4 tee boxes. 150 yard markers in fairways but rarely found a sprinkler head. A GPS Unit or laser would be helpful. Variety of holes was average. Nothing super memorable, but had a mix of 4s 5scand 3s. Ditches came in some odd spots at times. Really forced a carry for any hitter that relies on roll out for their drives. Clubhouse was very nice as was the range box and practice green. Homes around the course are far away to not worry about, but were very beautiful to see. In all, a solid place to play if you need to work on your game or to try something new around the area.
