northern hills san antonio Tx.

I've lived near this course for a while and recently drove by to see the condition; the greens are wonderful, and the fairways were in very good condition. I'll be playing this little jewel again in the near future.

Interesting course

I had fun, that is all that matters when you play golf as an amateur. (it is just a game) The course had some interesting holes, none to difficult that they are unfair. Most fairways were wide, green and in very good shape. The rough was just that "rough" and brown, but that's not were your ball is supposed to be any way. There are some nice elevation changes that make for a more interesting round and much harder for you to pick the right club. But there are only a couple of water hazards that don't really come into play.The greens all in all, were in very good shape for August in South Texas. I would play this course again, and if you get a chance give it a try.

Should be a good time

Everytime I play here, I wonder why I decided to play here. And when I left 18 I said yep that's why it will be another 6 months to a year before I come back! Sanded greens that looked like they were in great shape and didn't need to be sanded. I Actually hit limbs on a tee shot because they don't care about anyone playing from the tips. And maybe mow your tee boxes once a month just for good fun

Greens in Excellent Shape for this time of year

Had a fun round, greens very well maintained and staff was excellent. The only negative thing is lack of yardage markers around the course. The majority of the holes don't have any markers at all. If you want to put a good score you better have a GPS otherwise you will be guessing distances all round long. Overall, nice course to play.

Nice layout doesn't beat you up

Best greens in town this time of year. Nice layout only 6700 yards from tips. St Augustine grass in 2 fairways difficult to hit off of. Will play there again.

Decent Course for the Price

I've only played here twice. My only complaint is clover weeds in the rough are so bad that your ball can disappear even when it's right outside the fairway. I probably just need to step my game up and hit more accurate shots, but I don't like spending a lot of time looking for a ball that wasn't hit too poorly.

A fun course for all levels. Its most challenging from the tips and the par 3s are long. fairways are good, they can use a little growth. The greens are in great shape and roll true. I will play there again
