Fun Golf Course

Tapztio Springs is off the beaten path but we really enjoy it. Great staff, pace of play generally good, and plenty of challenging holes. Very peaceful setting, too. I hesitate to recommend because I love being able to play 18 holes in 3 hours.

Girls vs. Guys

Great speed of play, no one pushing, no waiting. Course in great shape, greens fast. It was hot and windy so nice to have water stops along along the way. We'll be back to play in the fall.
We played a match with another couple--ladies against the men. Handicaps ranging from 15--28. Everyone plays golf 2-3 times per week. Consider ourselves adequate golfers. BTW, ladies won by 1.

Back to Tapatio Springs after 1.5 years

Been away from Tapatio Springs for some time and finally made it back after news of the club burning down. Course is under maintenance program but played very nice! Play was good until we came up on a group of 5, they didn't let us play through...thank god we were on the back 9 by then. Temporary club house was nice and well stocked and staff was very nice. We will be back soon!

If you want to play a course that you have to use all of your clubs this is the one. Can't just pull out driver on all par 4s or 5s. Greens in good shape and just a beautiful course

Fun round of golf

We played Tapatio for the second time in one week recently and we found it to be very enjoyable. We did end up skipping ahead of a slow group each time, but really we'd rather do that than play behind very slow players. Each of the staff members we've encountered over these past 2 rounds were extremely friendly and helpful, especially the cart lady! She always brought a smile to my face (and no, I wasn't buying alcohol, just a Diet soda).

Browns

I hit 17 Brown's in regulations very hard to score the browns do not hold the line as expected got lots of bogeys. Leave your divot tool at home its impossible to leave a ball mark on the greens.

Fun layout, dry greens

I enjoyed the course layout (except for the Par 5 13th where you can't hit driver). The course is fun, GPS on the carts is great, snack cart is always nearby, practice facility is nice. Only drawback was the greens were not in excellent shape. They were pretty dried out and could use some seed and water, though they were still relatively slow.

Greens, greens, GREENS!

Came to town for the Final Four and am staying at La Cantera, but decided to play somewhere else for a day. So I logged in and looked for highly rated ones, and this spot sat at the top of the list. That being said, we made the trek out and loved the setup on the drive in. Warmed up a bit, then had to ask the cart lady where the first tee was, which isn't a big deal since I already knew the clubhouse succumbed to fire, otherwise it would have been simple to find. At any rate, bombed our first drives down the middle, hit solid approach shots, then ....... walked on the green, and it looked as if it was a victim of the fire also. To make a long story shorter, EVERY green has some sort of burn to it, with about 25% of them having a full burn through the middle of the whole thing. I took pictures because I'm from Central Florida, and greens like this would get a course blackballed in just a few hours. I love the challenge and layout of the course, but I can't score on unpredictable greens.

We appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback. We do have some greens that have not made it out of the dormant season as quick as we would have liked. We are aware of the situation and have done some soil testing to be proactive. We expect to see conditions improve very quickly.

Disappointing, as I have played it in better condition.

I was disappointed in the condition of the course this time, especially the greens. It appeared that all of the greens were suffering from either being over fertilized or just not maintained that well. They were very grainy and difficult to see any breaks. Mostly they appeared to be burnt or distressed and lots of brown spots on the greens. I have played this course in much better condition than my most recent round and hopefully the greens will come back from their current condition. The club house was gone due to a fire but the portable buildings being used were clean and orderly. i hope the new clubhouse and pro shop will have the views and outside seating they once had. Right now, there are other better maintained golf courses in the area to play, but will book another round probably in the Fall.

We are sorry to learn you did not have as great of an experience as expected. As for the greens, we have still had some very brisk mornings and growing weather has not quite hit us in full. We are aware of the situation and have done some soil testing to be proactive. We expect to see conditions improve very quickly, so we hope you give us another shot soon.
