Slope 123
Rating 71.0

The majestic, rolling hills and towering oaks of the scenic Texas Hill Country serve as a backdrop to the Flying L Guest Ranch Golf Course & Resort. The course begins with a challenging front nine with numerous doglegs and uneven lies at every turn. The signature hole, the par-3 seventh, features a green that is surrounded by water on three sides and a spectacular view of the mountains. Flying L Guest Ranch Golf Course & Resort's back nine is less challenging than the front nine, but it has a few interesting surprises in store. It has a more classic and open layout than the front nine, but there are four holes with water and several strategically placed bunkers to watch out for. Flying L also features a two-tiered driving range with a chipping and putting green.

Good course If you get the right price

I got a great deal through GolfNow for $19 so price was good. It's a good place to go that's not crowded. Fairways were ok and greens were in good shape but maybe a little slow.

Fair condition course, however, good value for Hot Deal

Greens have some bald spots. Fairways about the same. Fairly easy except 3-4 holes. Similar to most munis, will lay again as "hot deal" only..

Greens are getting better

This course is worth the money if you get a Hot Rate deal. Full price is too much for the current conditions, but they are working on the greens. Some of the tee boxes for ladies are not in great condition, either. The fairways are great, and we enjoy playing here, but think their regular rate is too high for the overall shape of the course at this time. As long as we can get Golf Now rates, we will be happy to keep showing up and working on our games.

Fore!

The greens are still recovering. They were way below average. Other than Norcliffe and Canyon Lake , possibly the worst greens in the S.A. area.

Great time, great value

The course was in great shape,except for the greens. Greens were a little rough, but still worth the drive. I will definitely be booking here again.

This course was a joy!

Spouse and I had a nice time at Flying L. The course was not crowded and was in typical shape for April. The gentleman who checked us in was very pleasant and had an easy way about him. We had lunch at the grill, which was very tasty and the ladies were friendly.

We will return.

Horrible greens

Worst greens I've played on. Fairways were below average and it certainly didn't help it was tough weather conditions! It was a 50 minute drive from San Antonio and certainly not worth it. Won't be going back.

Course needs better care.

Several out-of bounds areas have restricted access resulting in lost balls for those of us who hit errant shots. Greens are in very poor condition. Course could be very good with better maintenance.

Thank you for your review and the heads up on the course conditions I was thinking of trying to play that course next week when I'm on vacation in the San Antonio area but I'll look elsewhere

Good Time

The four of us had a good enjoyable experience and the weather was great. Over all, the course was in good condition but the greens were in rough shape. The staff explained to us before we started our round the problem they were having with the greens. That said, this was in the middle of March and the greens were still playable, and they didn't interfere with our play. We will go back.

Fun resort style course but slow play

This was a fun course to play with lots of interesting holes. Good value for the money. As others have noted some of the greens suffer from weed growth but was okay for casual play.
Only problem was a really slow group several groups ahead holding up play so it was hit then wait.
