The 9th at The Creeks
Hyatt Hill Country Resort & Spa
Copyright © 2009 Blair Howard

There are three distinct nine-hole courses at the Hyatt Hill Country Resort & Spa. Set on more than 200 acres of wide-ranging terrain with tracts of woodland, rolling meadows, steep hillsides, wooded ravines and tree-shaded plateaus, along with a series of lakes and ponds that add, not only excitement to the round, but a tranquil beauty I found to be unique and exquisitely relaxing. The Hyatt Hill Country Golf Courses have been ranked the number one Texas golf destination and number 17 worldwide by Condé Nast Traveler and, I think, rightly so.

The 10th At Brackenridge Park
Copyright © 2009 Blair Howard

Yes, I know I've blogged the Brackenridge Park Golf Course before but, unique as it is, I thought it worth another quick mention, especially if you missed the last one. Brackenridge Park has been a part of San Antonio golf for more years than most people can remember. One of America’s historic 18-hole golf courses, Brackenridge was the first inductee into the Texas Golf Hall of Fame. It was also the original site of the PGA Winter Tour.

Brackenridge Park Golf Course, implausibly located close to the heart of San Antonio, is the anchor layout of the six municipal golf courses that comprise the Alamo Golf Trail. Originally designed by A.W. Tillinghast, the course has retained many of the somewhat incongruous, by today’s standards, square greens for which he was so famous.

The 6th at The Rupublic Golf Club
Copyright © 2009 Blair Howard

I blogged about the Republic Golf Club earlier in the month, but just in case you missed it, here it is again: The Republic is a late addition to San Antonio’s roster of public access golf courses. It’s also a current qualifying site for the Senior U.S. Open. Built along the banks of the scenic Salado Creek, The Republic Golf Club is a quite tract of old-growth oaks trees, elms and mesquite trees.

Situated only minutes away from downtown San Antonio and its world famous Riverwalk, The Republic Golf Club offers a challenging round of golf on a layout designed not only test your game, but to provide a retreat from the everyday hustle and bustle of big city living.
