The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
Golfers consistently call the Resort Course the most dramatic public round in San Antonio, with limestone quarry walls, 70-foot elevation changes, and the iconic drivable 7th tee staring down at Six Flags. Most rate it the top resort track in the city, with conditioning and service to match.
Consistently praised
- Big elevation changes and quarry edges that make every hole feel different.
- A former PGA Tour Texas Open venue still kept in tournament-grade shape.
Worth knowing
- Side-hill and downhill lies are constant, flat stances are rare and yardages can mislead.
Golfers recommend
- The 7th is gettable, pull driver, but respect the right-side water short of the green.
- Pay extra attention to the back tees on par 3s, several drop sharply and play short.
