Cart Path a Bummer

This is a beautiful course in really nice shape. Challenging greens and respectable layout.
We had a group of 2 foursomes with some elderly good players.
We were not told of the cart path rule until we got to the first Tee. That was not good !

Poor Condition for the foreseeable future

Have played this course many times in the past ten plus years. Over the last five years it has fallen further and further into poor condition. There appears to be a resurgence of owner money into the course and a plan to raise membership at the same time. This is a wonderful layout, design as well as a beautiful location. It has always been remote and challenged to grow into a first class golf venue.
Today when we played, we were very disappointed at the coast ( $96) which was rediculous for the condition. There are multiple construction projects going on all over the course. The bunkers are almost all still unplayable ( but sand is on the property). The fairways are mediocre at best ! Greens punched and poor.
I question the long term plan to raise membership while charging almost 100 dollars in the mean time while striving to achieve this goal. I will not play again or until it is rebuilt to a first class course

Must Play

If you are visiting San Antonio and want to be challenged by a great layout and scenery you must play the Palmer Course.
