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).

Great layout

Course layout is excellent. Pro shop surrounding felt like a ranch. Few tee boxes needed work & the greens speed were inconsistent. Otherwise, course had excellent layout w many hazards & conditioned fairways & great usage of natural surroundings. Fun course to play w great elevations. Definitely would recommend.

Nice course for the money

Nice course. No beverage cart out on the course made it tough. It was very hot and humid. Free water stations were way too far apart. If your not going to let people bring there own you should at least make sure the bev cart is out. Course was nice to play.

Bring out your Golf toolbag

Have played this course about a half dozen time at different points in my golf progressions. Beautiful course always in great condition when played. Earlier I read about sand on the greens and hard greens, never had the sand thing happen, but depending on the time of the year you play there, they are like all other south Texas golf courses hard and fast during the summer. For summer reception you need to go toward the Hill Country, Bulverde, or out Hondo area where they get more year round rain. Okay back to this course, I've actually never had a problem with the greens holding or putting on them. I love the challenge of trying to make shots, and shaping shots. It's a very hard and long course for a beginner, which i was and really still am. I've learned a lot from this course how to play the course and not the shot. The amenities are nice and also easy on the eyes on the times i've been there. Great value and the speed of pay is dependent on the day you go! Weekends early you are going to be there for a while. Love this course!

Rain won't slow these concrete greens.

I have been avoiding Canyon Springs due to the horrendously fast greens that wouldn't even hold a Phil Mickelson pitch shot, but alas 3 days of heavy rain! This ought to do the trick, right?

NOPE!

The greens here are so hard and dry that you can't leave a pitch mark in the middle of a thunderstorm (I would know, I tried today.)

What is this turf made from? Diamonds?

To top it off, they're regularly coated in a few tons of sand (I'm guessing in an attempt to slow the speed) which makes for really messy golf balls, and putters - Did I mention that there is only ONE ball washer on the entire 18 hole course?

Canyon Springs really needs to change the type of grass they use on the greens. If they do, this could be an amazing course. The fairways, rough, bunkers, and fringe are top notch. It's a challenging layout with nice scenery, and it's not too expensive. But these greens have GOT TO GO!

I have never played a course where I have dreaded hitting the green so much. When a 2 inch putt goes 20-30 feet in every direction, something needs to change.

The pin placements don't help much either. Holes are almost exclusively cut on crowns, or slopes. Who knows, maybe the greenskeepers are fed up with having to use a jackhammer to cut the holes....

I have asked several times why their "special" high maintenance grass, which needs to be sanded weekly, and punched monthly is worth it, but I have yet to receive a real answer.

GREENS ARE AWFUL RIGHT NOW!

I am writing this for 3 rounds played during the week of 6/19. The greens are the worst I have ever seen. Normally they are in good condition, but now they are playing extremely fast, and full of sand.

There is no advance warning of the condition from the pro shop, or on the booking site, so consider this before you play there for the next couple of weeks.

I know I won't be coming back until I know the problem is fixed.

Greens need help

The course was in good shape, but the greens were horrible for the great weather that has been in play. The driving range had very little grass to hit off of too.

Outstanding course and staff

Got behind a wedding party that slowed pace of play down (not a big deal) but staff saw it and was right on top of fixing.

I will be back frequently.

Nice time but a bit slow

Played as a twosome but players ahead were slow. Understanding since they were 4 we would be faster but they would spend time looking for a ball in tall weeds. We skipped the hole and started enjoying ourselves until we ran into another slow group.
