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.

Enjoyable Course
Enjoyable course, staff is fantastic, carts good, love all the water stations available, lots of deer to enjoy/admire. Only negative is the greens are rough. I know the freeze hurt but know you will see some rough conditions.

Good old track. Greens need a lot of work
Very slow and crumbly.
Really fun course
Very fun course to play - nice layout - neat club house, plenty of water on the course - smooth pace of play. Nice challenging holes. Greens a bit bumpy however not to the point of taking away the fun playing the course. Carts are clean - flow of play was good - nice driving range. Recommend this course in Kerrville.
Nice course
This was a great course for the money. The staff were friendly and the carts were in great condition.
Great layout. greens were very slow.
Love this course. But with much needed rain recently the greens were very slow and the rough around the greens was very thick.
Nice course
Fun course to play. Staff very friendly. Layout is excellent - greens had been punched about a month ago so a bit bumpy but still a most enjoyable course to play. Pace of play was excellent - members on the course very cordial and engaging. Our 2nd time to play the course and it will not be the last. Strongly recommend.

Need to encourage players to fix their divots on the greens.
Slow pace of play
Paid for 18 holes and left after hole 11. Had a threesome and 3 fivesomes in front of us and all of them were backed up. Had to wait 20 minutes to play each hole.
Lovely lay out
Gusty wind made play tough. Tee boxes are well watered. Fairways are spotty. Greens in generally good condition with some bad spots , but very slow greens. Nice lay out with lovely backdrop of scenery and deer on the course. Course needs better signage to get you from #8 to #9. We enjoyed the day.
Poor grounds
The fairways were dead and the greens were worse. There are several greens that had very poor conditions. The course was on the worst shape of any course I have ever played. There are even tee boxes that are like playing out of a sand trap. Pitiful, will never go back, conditions actually worsened with more rain of late.
The course is okay.
The course would be better if it had more grass in main areas of play. The greens were super slow as well.
