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).

Good course

The course is in good shape, greens were a little sandy but not unputtable. There were only two issues they need to work on:

1. Pace of play. It was a 5 hour round on a Wednesday. No marshal anywhere on the course. Brutal.

2. The course is not very well marked for yardage. If you don't have a GPS or range finder you will struggle with distances. Fixing problem #2 might help problem #1.

Great condition- slow play

Course was in great condition, greens were well kept, although on a couple it looks like they were painted turquoise, but not bumpy at all. Pace of play was very slow, but it was a Friday after all.

Good test, hill country views and lots of undulations

excellent conditions for hill country golf in late summer. A couple greens were thin but rolled nicely. Lots of slopes and greens are difficult. Pace of play (5hrs.)

was only negative. Course had a tournament which created the slow play.

Look forward to next time

Hot

If your willing to suffer the heat a hot deal of 12 dollars was great. You do have to pay for range balls bring the cost up 4 bucks for a bucket of balls. I pretty much had the course to myself hit multiple balls/putts and still was able to play 9 holes (that was enough) in a little over 2 hours. The greens were in great shape for summer San Antonio. Course is playing nice.

Muy Bueno

A very good course for good to intermediate players. Not good for hackers, slicers and pull yankers. If you like to get rid of balls, this is the place for you. Keep it in play, even short, and you will enjoy this course. Well maintained and great layout. Enjoyed the outing.

What a Gem!

Played Canyon Springs for the first time ever in San Antonio's mid-August heat (not one of my smartest moves), but could not believe what great shape the entire course including the fairways and greens were in. This course is daunting from the Tee boxes but tends to open up in the fairways. Don't get fooled by the short distances on the first 3 holes, it's a trick to get you to play a set of boxes that are a little too hard for most golfers! We play all over central/south Texas and this is one of my immediate favorites, especially for the fantastic shape it's in. I'll be back!

Nice course

Course was nice, I didn't get my sleeve of balls as GolfNow reservation claimed I would. Starter was kind of a curmudgeon but marchals were very pleasant. It was an enjoyable round. No fruit on the course at the turn and putting green was under construction. I would play it again.

Great Golf in San Antonio area!

I played Canyon Vista for the first time in 5+ years. Excellent value, great condition and a fair tough test of golf from the back tees! I won't hesitate to check it out again soon!

Very nice for the price!!!

Course was probably more challenging than what I should have been playing. The course is beautiful and it's the end of July! The price was fantastic for how nice the course is which is great because that allows me the chance to leave the mediocre courses once in a while. Ready to go again.

Terrific Value

Played first thing in the morning. Driving range was under construction, but temporary was fine. Course was in very good shape. Fairways were excellent. Lots of blind tee shots. GPS phone app very handy. The hadn't set up tee box markers after hole 6. Signs to next hole would be helpful too. Played round in 2 hours 45 minutes. That was wonderful. Nice setup. Would like to play again when back in town.

COST VS AN AVERAGE COURSE

I'M IN SAN ANTONIO VISITING FAMILY/VACATION. MY PLAN WAS TO PLAY THE 5 TOP REVIEWED COURSES IN THE S.A. AREA. I PLAYED LA CANTERA PLAMER COURSE A DAY BEFORE PLAYING CANYON SPRINGS GC. ONE OF THE PEOPLE I PLAYED WITH ADVISE ME NOT TO PLAY CANYON SPRINGS AND GO TO THE HILL COUNTRY GC. THEY WERE RIGHT, FOR THE PRICE CANYON SPRINGS IS WAY BELOW PAR AND WILL NOT PLAY THERE AGAIN FOR 79.95. I BRIGHT STAR WAS A STAFF MEMBER THAT IS A MILITARY VET LIKE ME AND HE WAS HELP WITH OTHER COURSES LIKE VAALER CREEK CG.

Hidden Gem in Suburbia!

Great value when you can catch a hot deal on the Golf Now app. Regular price is reasonable as well. I imagine weekends are busier. We always play during the week with no problems for pace of play. Marshall is always good to place singles together to avoid a parade coming through your golf party. Course can seem easy then a well placed bunker can wreck a hole for me anyway. It's challenging and rewarding to a bogey golfer. I enjoy the short to mid-iron par 3's. Good mixture of distances. I hate a course that every Par 3 is the same distance. Tee boxes are well marked. One negative is that several bunkers are more like gravel pits.

I do!

Beautiful and challenging course! Pace of play was awfully slow all day.

Just off the 18th hole, there was an afternoon wedding and we finished the round while a new couple promised their vows. Do I want to play here again ... I do!
