Rating 74.9

Canyon Springs Golf Club is a true Hill Country course. You need to stay on the fairways or bring plenty of balls. Using an old farm to build on this choice piece of Texas real estate, this land has been artfully transformed into what many golfers will refer to as among the very best of what Texas has to offer. With five sets of tee boxes on each hole, demanding greens, natural Hill Country surroundings and magnificent limestone waterfalls on two holes, this 7,000-plus-yard course presents a significant challenge to event the most experienced golfers (and even those who think they are).

Pretty disappointing

Funky faiways on the first several holes.

Greens were horrible, only surpassed by Riverside in poorest we played this month.

Certainly disappointed after so many recommendations from players at other courses.

January Pace

Canyon Springs continues to be one of the better San Antonio golf courses. The pace of play on this Saturday evening was unfortunately very slow, but was expected when you get a 74 degree Saturday in January. The greens were fertilized and slower than normal, but rolled good for Winter golf. Fairways and tee boxes have been over seeded and came in very well. The course is difficult and resists scoring. A nice January round of golf.

Fall Beauty

Canyon Springs displayed the beauty of Texas Fall golf. The course was in excellent condition. Greens were virtually perfect. Fairways had very minimal soft spots even with all the rain lately. Everything from tee to green was simply excellent. The course layout is one of the best in San Antonio. Each hole is secluded from the others and the drive from green to tee is scenic. Wouldn’t recommend walking the course as those walks could be long and demanding with the hills. Great course, one of San Antonio’s best. Highly recommend this course showcasing Texas’s Fall beauty.

Good semi-tuff course

Great course for good golfers. Tuff course for intermediate golfers. Extra tuff for hackers. Bring extra balls if you hook or slice.

Pleasant surprise

Chose to play an evening round at Canyon Springs and what a pleasant surprise. Very glad that I did. The course was in excellent condition. I don’t think I’ve seen the greens this good here in the 2 years I’ve been in San Antonio. The entire course looked great. Bunkers were sanded, fairways were and rough were groomed. Just simply excellent. I didn’t run into one group on my evening round. Started at 4;30 finished at 7:35 next to the waterfall. I had heard they had green trouble earlier in the season, but will choose to play here as much as I can the remainder of the year. Excellent course. Go and enjoy.

Quiet on the edge of the city

Who doesn’t love a golf course that has Longhorns greeting you as you approach the practice area and first tee. Pure Texas! This course is in great shape and has plenty to keep you thinking and challenged but is comfortable to play for the average golfer. Although the fairways are often lined by homes, there is a sense of serenity and a country feel as you pass old structures from when this land was a ranch. The pace of play is steady and the whitetail deer will calmly observe you throughout your round. Check out this lovely green jewel on the edge of San Antonio. You will find it well forth your while.

Top of Our List for San Antonio Golf

Staff was extremely friendly and not in an annoying brown nose way! The stone buildings and look of an old ranch was very cool. Even have a couple of Longhorn cattle and waterfalls! Photo Ops! Other than a few blind shots the course is a good layout. Get a yardage book. Fun to play. 16 of the 18 holes were in great shape, especially for mid July in south Texas! We will go there every San Antonio trip!

Had strange experience on hole # 7 the par 3. Two young boys cut in front of us when we were on the tee box and were using handcarts. They were not supposed to be on the course since carts are required. They obstructed our play for the next 3 holes and caused everyone to get held up. We contacted the marshall twice to get them off the course but he didn't show up until 9th green . Too late to fix problem. It was so disruptive it ruined our front nine.

Canyon Springs Fun

Really enjoyed my first time at Canyon Springs, heard about it from a playing partner earlier this year, saw the Golf Now Special and had to play.

Beautiful course and layout, not very long but exacting shots required.

Great day of golf.

Always a good day at Canyon Springs.

I play at this course about 3 times a month. Good to see the greens coming back, this due to some maintenance however all else was great! Pro shop staff very accommendating and flexible when needed. The bar/restaurant always my favorite, beers are always Absolutely Cold and Mary Always takes great care of us. One thing that sometimes is a surprise is the bar closes early, on my last visit the bar closed at 3PM.
