I usually play a few of the more expensive courses in San Antonio but was pleasantly surprised by the course, layout, conditions and good test of golf. The recent rain has really helped the greens and fairways. Even though the greens had recently been top dressed they rolled true. A little standing water on a few cart paths but none in the fairways. Even with nearly 8” of rain in the past few weeks a 90 degree rule was in place and definitely justified. For the price this may be the best course in San Antonio. I hope the course pro and the superintendent read this review because they definitely earned a new golfer!

Course was in phenomenal shape, greens were a bit slow but due to recent rain and being early season they were in good shape. The main issue I had was lack of information about a college golf tournament being played at the same time as my tee time. I literally had to park 1/4 mile away from clubhouse because of the tournament spectators and team busses. As a paying customer this is unacceptable. At least have shuttle busses for people using remote parking areas. I got there an hour before tee time to be able to hit some balls and putt only to be rushed out 40-45 minutes early to get ahead of the tournament. For a course that charges nearly a $100 I felt I was just a burden to the staff.

This is a course I have played many times since 1998. Today was beyond awful. I knew they had aerated the greens earlier in the week because of the warning on golf now. The guy in the pro shop reminded me at check in. First the range was in rough shape, like everyone was backed up 10 feet just to get some grass to hit from. Second, when the starter came to get us, he stated that hole 12 was down and we would be playing to a “temporary green”. Well it was just a 100 yard to a random flag in the fairway, not a puttable green. Bad thing is that 12 is one of the best pat 4 on the course. 3rd nearly half the greens were almost unplayable because of patchwork sod job. Some greens were almost 1/2 rough sod, unputtable. It was embarrassing, as I am a resident of San Antonio and people are still being charged over $100 to play this. Golf Now should be refunding our green fees over this. I played with two men from Mexico and they were clearly disappointed at the conditions as well. I was lucky enough to find a “deal” at $60 but the men I played with paid nearly $200 for their rounds. I attached a photo of one of the greens. This is totally unacceptable as I am a frequent user of golf now. Do a better job of vetting courses.

First, the course, carts and staff are phenomenal. I have played here twice in the past week. What gets me is that the first time I played I followed off a tournament and the rates were about half of what they were today. Today with a 7:50 a.m tee time I was told by the starter we would be teeing off on the back due to a tournament that was shotgun starting at 8:00 a.m. I have no problem paying a premium price for playing such a great course but not being informed up front that we would have to start on the back and of course slower play with a scramble on the course seems unnecessary.

If you haven’t had a chance at playing the Quarry it is worth the price. You get to experience 2 courses in one round. The front is open and challenging and the back is down in a old quarry and has elevation changes and has a real links feel. Fairways and greens were in phenomenal condition albeit the greens were not real fast as it had been raining. We followed a scramble and the employees were on top of everything. The only drawback was the range which only allows irons. It’s nice to be able to get a few driver swings. The putting green and chipping greens were absolutely perfect. Blind first tee shot calls for a 200 yard shot.

I had a 10:50 tee time and when I checked in the starter informed me they had a frost delay of over an hour in the morning. He still got our group off right on time. I’m sure they put guys out a little close together but the round was just about 4:20 minutes or so. Love the lay out and love the staff.

The course was in phenomenal shape, greens were a little hard but rolled great. 4 1/2 hour round was too long for a Monday round. I didn’t see a single marshal on the course but at least the beverage cart came around. Still a fantastic deal for the price.

Had a great round on a fantastic course just a short drive from OKC. Fairways and greens were both in pretty good shape considering the heat this year. Greens were very fast and definitely a little tough to hold downwind. Big fairways with a little water and several bunkers. All in all one of the best values for the quality of course.

The Palmer course is one of the if not the best courses in south Texas. From the driving range to the clubhouse it is top notch. We had a 11:40am Sunday tee time and the marshal got us off at around 11:30. We played in a twosome and never once run upon the group ahead nor did we see a group behind. The course was in absolutely perfect condition and the greens were fast but receptive. It was a good hot Texas afternoon but for the price it was well worth it and the beverage cart was always pretty close by. I will definitely be back.

Great course layout in fantastic condition! You would never know that south Texas was in a drought.

The course was a great layout and pace of play was fantastic. I think I only saw 2 other groups. Only complaint was that we brought a third to play and the guy at the desk gave our playing partner a hard time about getting his millitaty discount. Stating that the va card he had was not enough "proof". Eventually he gave the discount but was in poor taste to treat a 20 yr. vet.
