Canyon Springs Golf Club

Over 7,000 yards of beguiling beauty - that's the best way to describe Canyon Springs. Beauty, because this course winds through some of the most scenic Hill Country north of San Antonio. Beguiling, because the course's wide fairways and accessible greens hide bunkers, natural hazards and subtle breaks. Five sets of tees on each hole create a challenge for golfers of every level. Tee it up on the cliff-top10th hole and let it rip. But be sure you've got another ball in your pocket.

The Quarry Golf Club

If there ever was a golf course with a split personality, it's The Quarry. Designer Keith Foster created a unique layout where the front nine is reminiscent of British Open links style courses: no trees, deep heather rough and an ever-present breeze to bedevil you. But it's the back nine that amazes most golfers. All nine holes are set in an 86-acre limestone quarry, winding around its 100 foot-tall perimeter and challenging the golfer to carry shots over the imposing chasms. Known for its tough par 4's, strong drives and accurate iron shots are a must.
