Well a friend of mine and I are flying down to San Antonio for 2 days and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a couple of courses to play. Moderatly priced.. nothing too expensive if you know the green fees.

Thanks
Darrell

You could go play the la cantera course where they have the Valero texas open

Darrell, here is a link for you that shows the courses in SA along with their prices. I have played several of the courses but it has been a number of years. Some of my favorites were: Pecan Valley, Gateway Hills (Lackland AFB), Cedar Creek, The Dominion, Mission DeL Lago, Hill Country and The Quarry. Randoph AFB has a pretty good course but it is listed in Universal City. If you want to play some of the upper scale courses I would look at The Hill Country (very fast greens). I would stay away from Brooks AFB course. They are closing and are not putting any more money into the course. Good luck and have a great tiime.

I lived in San Antonio a couple of times and before moving here to Salt Lake. Cedar Creek was by far my favorite course to play when I was there. I'm not sure if it is still open for the public to play and at a reasonable price, though. It was fairly cheap when I was there. This is a great golf course and you would never know you were in Texas playing it.

As a muni, my favorite was Riverside. I played that course all the time, especially before Cedar Creek was available. I also liked to play Olmos Basin and Brackenridge. We played Olmos most of the time for practice rounds on the high school golf team. It's a good layout, but is a very busy course. Brackenridge is a little easier it seems like but more fun.

Pecan Valley is a great course, but I think it is private. I was a member then for $50/month the summer I graduated high school and played there almost every day during the summer. I think the next year they went private.

I really miss these courses hehe.

I never played the high end courses when I was there. Most were very new at the time, too.

Anyone that is in the area should check out Cedar Creek.

Yes, a friend i work with said the same thing about Cedar Creek so im going to have to go ahead and book a T time for that one.

Thanks for the help guys.

Hey. We lived in San Antonio for a couple of years and just returned from there last week.

Here are a couple of suggestions. Pecan Valley is a great course and is in great shape. Green fees with cart are $30 and that included lunch.

We also played Brackenridge, which is now a muni course. It was one of the first courses the PGA ever played and has much history. Being a muni, it is well-worn, but fun. Green fees there were also about $30.

For high end fun, try either the Quarry or LaCanterra. Both are high-end, daily fee courses. I'm not sure of the green fees.

Have a great trip!

Pecan Valley for $30 with a cart?! Sweet. I think it was strictly off limits the past several years I lived there, but I could be wrong. Cedar Creek then Pecan Valley would make a great couple of days. Pecan Valley is where the Texas Open was held (originally, I think).

As for the high-end courses the last I knew they were over $100 on the weekend. I don't think The Quarry was quite that much, though. The Quarry is a course I would play if I ever went back. When you mention San Antonio golf this is a course often mentioned. It was very new when I was last there.
