Alsatian Golf Club
About
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.

Thank you for the review. We appreciate your business. Sorry you felt the pace was poor. We had marshals and starters on the course. We wish you would have called the pro shop if you had any issues.
Great Course
Nice layout. Challenging but you can score out there. Need better sand.
Trip to the country road
Great location and staff all around
Open fairways and good greens.
Good course to start your vacation in this region
Thank you for the awesome review. We appreciate your business.
All good except pace of play.
Course in good condition considering winter grass in fairways. Greens were good and rather quick. Only issue is pace of play. There were 2 groups of five in front of us both playing for money. We waited on every tee and every approach shot. Really takes the enjoyment out of a round when you wait around on every shot.
We have a money game on Thursday that tees off at 1pm They go 1 forward and this was explained when you checked-in. I am sorry if they held you up. The wind caused slow play on March 24th as well. Thank you for the nice remarks. We appreciate your business.
Thank you for the 4-star review. We appreciate your business.
Solid hill country golf
I was getting board with my regular city courses so I decided to try the Alsatian. I haven’t been in a year and coming back was refreshing. Course is a great track with challenging par 3’s and hill country atmosphere. Not too far from San Antonio and the quiet little community is friendly.
Thank you for the 4-star review. We appreciate your business.
Thank you for the 5-star review. We appreciate your business.
Hill Country Golf at Great Value
We love this course! It’s not a PGA course, so don’t hate on it. Cheap prices and a challenging course that presents the regular golfer some fun.
It’s nestled in the hill country and has an awesome ion site restaurant - Julliana’s. Great place to play!
Thank You for the awesome review. We appreciate your business. We are very lucky to have Julianna's as well. They have been voted the BEST restaurant in Medina county two years in a row! We look forward to your return visit.
They seem ok
All was great except for the marshals. A marshal followed us for 5 holes then left and a second marshal followed us for another 5 holes then left and a 3rd marshal followed us for another 4 holes. We were never slow, yet all the marshals told not asked that we move on, we played all e8 in 4 hours and 20 minutes. It was difficult to play comfortably because they were so close you would have thought they were part of our group + hounding us, he even stood on tee box for first 5 holes. We may or may not go back, not sure at this time I have played there before several times and was treated like that. All was good except the marshal problem. Not sure of date because this request just came in and I'm certain it was several weeks ago.
Follow the Crowd
This course is always a lot of fun to play, it is challenging with some holes that grant some good rewards.
This last time the only issue I had was that the course allowed two groups of six each and one group of five all of which were directly ahead of us. Even if one group would have allowed us to play through, we would have been stuck behind another. There was no course marshal to ensure that they moved along making necessary to wait at each hole.
First off thank you for the 4 stars. I am glad you like the course. I am sorry about the pace. On Thursdays we have a money game that goes 1 forward to usually 9 or 10 and most are fivesomes. If you play a twosme chances are you might run into them. However your tee time was one hour after they started. If you went off early then you would definitely run into them. We did have a marshall on the course. He was probably on the back moving the first groups along. If you have a problem like this, please call the pro shop and we can send someone to you immediately. We look forward to your return visit.
Great course!
I recently returned to playing golf (~ 6 months). Until yesterday, I have only played the Alamo City Golf Trail courses. With the exception of the recently renovated, reopened Olmos course, the others ar suffering from weed infested greens and hard pan fairways.
Not so with Alsatian! Although the grass is dormant, the fairways are in very good shape. The greens roll true and will test your putting skills.
Another +++ is the restaurant collocated with the course. Wonderful, friendly staff, delicious good, and unbelievable prices.
Best of all, the course is significantly closer to my house.
It’s now my home course.
Thank you for the 5 stars. We appreciate your response and look forward to your return visit.

Played here many time but not lately. Usually in great shape especially the greens. This time it wasn’t so good. Most greens were not true- rough and bumpy with dead patches. Many areas especially around the greens and approaches were soggy, as if over watered, even tho we’re in a drought. Disappointing conditions, especially since the prices have increased $5-7 from last year. I’d check before going back.
Thank you for the 4-star review. We appreciate your honest and insightful comments. The course is wet. We have not had much sunshine and we still need to water the greens. By watering the greens, the runoff does make the areas around the greens very wet. It's a double edge sword. Since we have bent grass greens in the winter months and they are not completely dormant, they need water. The greens are a bit rough in places but we have had a lot of freezing weather. This is not a good time of year for courses. The rates have gone up $4.00, plus tax. That is correct. As you know, all things have increased and we have to stay ahead of the increasing prices or we cannot exist.
Thank you again for the review. One thing we did like is the excellent rating on customer service. We hope you continue to come to the Alsatian and we appreciate your business.
Sincerely,
Laura Reed
General Manager
Will be back
Loved the course and also the RV resort. We will be back.
Thank you for the review. We look forward to your return visit.
Greens were great.
The course was in good shape considering we haven’t had much rain lately. The greens looked like an oasis in the middle of all the brown. The course was in great shape and my friends and I enjoyed our round.
Thank you fro the great review. We look forward to your return visit.
Thank you for the awesome review. We appreciate your comments and look forward to your return visit.
Caught behind tournament
Longest round I’ve ever played. The 2 groups ahead were 2.5 holes off the pace. Teeing off 17, group in fairway, and another group on green. No one in front of them. Both groups spent 20 minutes just on the greens. Lucky to finish with daylight.
I appreciate the 4 star review; however, I am so sorry you were delayed. We had over 215 rounds on Wednesday the 16th. It was extremely busy. I do not like to hear that the group in front of you had 2 holes open in front of them. I had marshals and starters all day. I am really upset this was not addressed. In the future, please call the pro shop and we will take immediate action. We want our golfers to enjoy their round at a decent pace of play!\\Sincerely,
Laura Reed, Manager
