Scott Schreiner Municipal Golf Club

About
John Bredemus stopped off here in the 1920s to open up Kerrville’s first golf course. Originally private when it opened in 1923, the course was acquired by the city in the 1930s and the course remained public ever since.
Situated on gently rolling terrain, the course offers scenic views of the surrounding Texas hill country. R.D. Kizer and Joe Finger have had their hands in molding the layout, which features somewhat generous fairways and an interesting combination of mounded greens.
Bredemus designed the front nine, which is highlighted by the classic 592-yard par 5. This is a mean hole, with water cutting into the fairway twice and an elevated green that requires a perfect approach. The hole has character, with water along the right and an ominous-looking cliff framing the view. Another notable hole on the front is the dogleg-left No. 7, with trees dominating the left side.
The signature hole is No. 17, a 535-yard par 5. Water comes into play on the second shot and then again on the approach to the green, which is surrounded by water on three sides. A waterfall to the left of the green adds a pleasing aesthetic.
The back nine, which opened in 1977, is more forgiving than the front. The best hole is the tough, par 5 No. 17. If you survive the tee shot, water comes into play on both the second and third shots. The last shot is particularly pleasing because of the waterfall on the left side of the green.
Getting there : From I-10 west, take Hwy. 16 south and turn left on Country Club Dr.

Hidden Gem
Delightfully surprised. Plenty of challenges and creative fairways/greens. We got backed up at the turn by a foursome. Pretty sure they started at 10, as we never saw them ahead of us. Jumped past them at 12 to keep playing and circled back at the end. Might be good to have someone ride the course occasionally. Overall, a ton of fun. We'll be back!
Winter golf was good
Even though the fairways were brown, they were in good condition. The greens had a couple of rough patches but overall were in excellent condition. Tee boxes were pretty good too. Fun course and worth the trip from San Antonio!
First winter golf in Texas
This was our first time golfing in Texas, course was in good condition even with the dormant fairways. A couple of greens had some rough spots but overall great. Course has an excellent layout that we really enjoyed will be back if in the area again

Over all course was in as good of shape as could be expected for winter golf, area got a big rain 2 days before so was too wet to mow which made the greens terribly slow
Good day
Course is in very good shape, no waiting time on tee boxes, and beautiful weather for a change !! Good day on the course.
For a good time call !
The course is in great condition played 18 holes in just over 3 hours . Enjoyed this round !
Nice course
It was my first time playing here and it was a great course. Staff was friendly and other players helped with the location of the first hole. Nice layout and nice greens. Definitely recommend if you’ve never played here.
17 is a championship hole
Love the course and always fun. Considering the drought, it is in great condition. The 17th is as much a championship hole as anywhere in the world, and I’ve been around. 😂
Golf during a three year drought
Fun and challenging layout. We've been in a severe drought, but the course has been managed well. Why I’ve never played this course is beyond me. I liked it a lot and I’m certainly going back. Very friendly and helpful staff. Not much to eat there, but the beverages are plentiful. 😁
Hot!
With no rain in months and very high heat (100) was a bit surprised that the course was even playable. The greens took a beating and no way to be able to judge one's putting. Otherwise I did enjoy being on the course and enjoying my round. Would do it again.
