A day at the Hyatt Hill Country Golf Club is certainly a winning one with three Arthur Hills-designed nine-hole layouts amidst the natural stone creeks and beautiful springtime wildflowers of San Antonio.

Located between the airport and downtown, the par-71 Quarry Golf Course is a must-play. Architect Keith Foster neatly fit the back nine along the natural stone quarry walls of the former Alamo Cement Plant, giving golfers a visual challenge unlike anywhere in Texas.

A few miles north, Canyon Springs Golf Club is built on some of the highest points in San Antonio. The site of a former 1800s trail stop, the course offers stunning views from tees and greens.

Just south of downtown is the historic Pecan Valley Golf Course, site of the 1968 PGA Championship won by Julius Boros (the only time a major was held in the San Antonio area).

Of course, no San Antonio golf trip would be complete without a round at city-owned Brackenridge Golf Course, a few miles north of downtown. Designed in 1915 by A.W. Tillinghast, it’s easily the most historic course in the state.

And while the Tournament Players Club (TPC) San Antonio isn’t on the schedule yet, it will be soon with two championship public courses and a JW Marriott resort scheduled to open by 2010. With the River Walk, historical attractions, arts and cuisine for golfers to explore in San Antonio, you'll remember the Alamo and so much more.
