Olympia Hills -
A new course, this course is very, very exciting and enhances San Antonio's reputation as
a golf destination. A unique combination of natural topography and man-made mounds and
bunkers make this a super course. The views are spectacular, with several holes
playing to greens well below the tees, while other lead to a significant rise to reach the
putting surface. A super layout at a reasonable price.
Pecan Valley Golf Club - Wow. What a golf course. This course with a rich
tradition has been recreated into another magnificant course for San Antonio. This is a
must play facility that local players are raving about it. The many mature pecan
trees and natural terrain with a winding creek make this a challenging course for any
level of golfer.
 Quarry Golf Club - This magnificent course, carved out of an old quarry, is rated in the
top ten of "America's Top State Golf Courses" by Golf Digest. The views of
San Antonio and the surroundings are so stunning that local players keep going back just
for the scenery. The front nine has a decidedly links feel with water coming into play.
Making the turn, you find out where it course gets its name. You play in a huge, abandoned
rock quarry, with steep walls that go up, up, up, almost 100 feet on three sides. This one
must be played while visiting San Antonio.

Golf Club of Texas - Another gem in San
Antonio's showcase of excellent courses. This 18 hole Tifdwarf grass course has all the
challenges that the area is known for; creeks, rocks, and trees. The narrow fairways lead
to greens which are fast and undulating. Many of the real good local players head for this
one.

of golf balls in case you drift off the fairway. Built in the beautiful hill country

streams and ponds in play lead to small, fast, undulating greens protected by sand
bunkers. There are plenty of rolling hills and wind is usually a factor. The front

fun, pretty course and the staff is courteous and professional.
Houston

the beautiful Tradition Course. The Tradition course has completed and complements
