The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
Golfers describe Gary Stephenson’s 2018 layout as a scenic newer Hill Country track with smooth Bermuda greens, wide elevated fairways, and panoramic San Marcos views. Most reviewers single out conditions and pace, with member-priority access occasionally limiting public play.
Consistently praised
- Elevated tees with long views across the Hill Country.
- Fast, contoured greens that hold and run true.
Worth knowing
- Semi-private access can squeeze public tee times around members.
Golfers recommend
- Book early in the day for the smoothest pace and best green speed.
- Pick a tee that respects the par-71 yardage, the slope is in the greens not the card.
