Canyon Springs Golf Club

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!

Every time I play here its always amazing.

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.

Challenging course if yiu are a beginner and don't have some that has played the course with you. I had Ernie who plays this course with me. Helped out a lot.

Very challenging course, beautiful setting. Every hole is a challenge. Must be very precise to play here. Can't wait to come back and try again

Awesome course for the price! I will definitely be back!

Challenging course! Nice layout! Well worth playing if you enjoy golf!!!

Second time and enjoyed it as much as the first time. Staff is great and the course in excellent condition.

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.

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.

My son and I enjoyed the round.

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.

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.

Absolutely great great golf experience. Love the clubhouse and the Longhorns grazing nearby. The course is in great condition, the pace was great, and it was very fairly priced.

GOOD PACE OF PLAY, COURSE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AFTER A MONTH OF RAINS...

Course was in great condition. Pretty tough but it was a great time and beautiful views.

It was not that busy when we teed.We were following a group of four and a young lady (a teen) but pacing was very good.No other groups were behind but as we approach hole 10 there were a group coming up from hole # 18.When we were on the middle of fairway hole # 10 a ball drop behind us. We look up and two guys are already hitting on the tee box.

Management should warn golfers of their attitude. Respect to others should be observed.Or else some bad incidents happens.

very nice course where you have to use all your clubs for teeing and approach. you must keep it in play or you will pay. Won't find your ball but will find someone else's. Great greens.

This was bachelor party golf with three foursomes. OK on pace until the turn where everybody seemed they had to gather before proceeding to the tenth tee. Quickly were 30' behind pace. About the 14th or 15th hole a player assistant, Phil, came out and instead of reading the riot act on pace of play became our fore caddy and help with shot selection and locating balls until we finished. Thank you Phil!

Tee to green course is in really good condition. Greens could use some work, little bumpy and sandy. I was not impressed with the staff. They acted as if they were doing us a favor by letting us play there.
