This course is almost the perfect little hidden gem! Beautiful and fair course! Not long but you have to know where to leave the ball in order to make you next shot less painful. The only sore thumb is the GREENS!!! I've seen them when they are true and beautiful. Right now is the worst shape I've ever seen them! Takes what would be a great round and make it just nice cause you can't get a good gauge or roll which is frustrating even for a hacker like myself! Other than that always a fun round

Have played this course about a half dozen time at different points in my golf progressions. Beautiful course always in great condition when played. Earlier I read about sand on the greens and hard greens, never had the sand thing happen, but depending on the time of the year you play there, they are like all other south Texas golf courses hard and fast during the summer. For summer reception you need to go toward the Hill Country, Bulverde, or out Hondo area where they get more year round rain. Okay back to this course, I've actually never had a problem with the greens holding or putting on them. I love the challenge of trying to make shots, and shaping shots. It's a very hard and long course for a beginner, which i was and really still am. I've learned a lot from this course how to play the course and not the shot. The amenities are nice and also easy on the eyes on the times i've been there. Great value and the speed of pay is dependent on the day you go! Weekends early you are going to be there for a while. Love this course!

The course is in good shape for this time of year in South Texas and it was cold and windy. So now on to the issues, had played 9 holes with our 4 foursome on a Saturday. Not a problem a little backed up and we weren't playing great! Stop to use the facilities and grab something for the back. 3 went in while I manned the carts, as 2 came out with beverages and hotdog. I went to get a dog. As I got to the counter my brother-in-law was just getting his hot dog and walking from the counter. The man on the grill ask me what he could help me with, I asked for a hotdog. He the abruptly tells me grill is closed and I'm out (assuming hotdogs). Now we have a problem the grill wasn't closed to every one else and there was nothing posted on the grill being closed. Also why would ask me if there was something you could do for me if the grill was closed! So I am now highly upset! I then see the individual take food tray to the pro shop offices. What gives!!? So this is how the Veterans and black golfers are treated! BTW my brother-in-law is not black. This is the second course on the Alamo Trail that I've been subjected to this blatant disrespect!

This is my 4th time at the course and I will have to say its been pretty consistent every time. To start the checking in is easy but the guys that have been in the pro shop are not very personable and very short with information. Now that we have all that out of the way, Whether its been the hot of summer to the winter months this course has looked and played excellent. Tee boxes poses challenges with blind tees to long carries to hit a playable fairway, to slick, tricky reading greens! During the week I noticed on Mon-Thur the cart person is gone by 1pm. The more I've played this course the better I've played it and I'm a high handicapper!
