Best round in a loooonnnnggggg time!

First time in many years that I broke 40 on each 9. Could not have done it without the superb course conditions. Thanks Moody Garden Golf Staff and most importantly the best Superintendent in the county!

Another good time!

Always a great track! A few greens are a little rough and are in need of attention. Thankfully the Super did not out the pins any where near the bad stuff. Definitely still worth the price that gave us a lunch and two drinks plus green fees! Awesome!

Getting there!

The course is playing well with adequate challenge and fair risk/reward holes. Still some greens to be concerned about but appreciated the Superintendent placing the cups far enough away from the rough spots to get the quality rolls that are the norm at Southwyck. Thanks for the lunch also! Great price for golf and a lunch with two drinks to boot!

So So, Many Possibilities

I could barely get a word out of the person at the counter but the starter may be the best I have ever encountered, so that sorta balances out the Staff friendliness. It seems that the greens have started having some struggles maintaining the excellent condition they once presented earlier last month. Some concern about this on a rather quality course!

An Eye Pleaser

This course fit my eye except for that “nasty” tester on the back nine that forces accurate distance control. Love the track, will play again, greens were not consistent but maybe that was the fact the I am not use to the type of bermuda in them. Overall, a very fun and challenging course!

Perfect conditions!

The course was much easier today because the wind was down and temps were perfect. Greens were a tad bit slower in the afternoon. I am sure they were quicker in the morning rounds but they still rolled true.

Always a good experience at MG! The greens roll true, but wish they were more receptive to wedge play.

Great track!

A great challenge for any golfer of any level of ability. Great roll-out on the t-ball and the greens were receptive to my iron play. The greens do have some issues such as multiple different grasses growing together which makes for a challenge of draining this birdie putts. I enjoyed the course and the Staff that assisted my group were superb! I will play Southwyck again!!

Typical Quality and Challenge at Moody!

MG is a well laid out course that uses the natural landscape to capture your eye and challenge anyone’s game. Depending on wind direction, MG can be a bear or can be had! Select your day carefully.

Wading in water

The course was completely saturated. Was told there was 2 inches of rain 2 days earlier. Cart path only made for a longer day than anticipated.

Picked wrong day

Started 1/2 hour behind men's group, shame on me. I quit after 9 holes because of slow play since I played as a single. I do not fault the players but I should have asked the Pro Shop to start on back 9 or maybe he could have offered. Anyway, enough of that. Nice folk there and I really liked the challenge of the track. I will attempt to play again when back in the area.

My Type of Course

This is the second time for me to play this course. I am from the east coast and transplanted here 4 1/2 years ago, I live an hour away but now that I have found a course in South Texas that reminds me of my east coast courses, that hour is next to nothing to travel. I thoroughly enjoy the zoysia tee boxes, fairways and greens. The track is waiting for you to take the challenge and take the risk and there will be a reward. I play mainly in the afternoons, so that pace of play is great. I would suspect that the pace is pretty good during the morning rounds. My new favorite course in the greater San Antonio area. Hope to meet you there one day!

Monday at Silverhorn

Tee time for 12:56 gave us a free flowing round in the wonderful spring weather of south Texas. Pace of play was excellent, course was in pristine condition only with the expected afternoon evidence of the greens having many rounds played before our tee time. The staff and members seem to take pride in course condition and service.

Serenity in Solitude

My foursome enjoyed a course that at times demanded pinpoint accuracy yet did not penalize for an occasional errant shot. Greens were recovering from a recent aeration but rolled true with not much variation in speed between greens. Fairway traps were suspect in not having adequate sand in the majority. Value for the price paid and the solitude of an unrushed round gave us all a greater appreciation of the essence of serenity as the sport of golf should be played.

Getting better

With the recent rains and the punching of greens several weeks ago, greens are healthy and fairways roll out very nice. Need to make greens a little faster, probably were a 9, would have enjoyed an 11.
