quality golf

by joegom

One of the best values in the city. Lots of big trees on the front nine that require a little bit of accuracy. You can let it fly on the back nine as most of the holes are pretty open. Although its a short course from the tips, it's one of my favorites. I play this course at least once a month. The course is never in great shape, but what do you expect for less than $20. Make a tee time or call before you walk on as there are a lot of tournaments here.

• Pros: value, staff

No-frills, inexpensive golf at its finest with a bit of history thrown in free-of-charge.

Just a Course
OK, it may not be the most elaborate course in town, but don't walk away yet. Designed by A.W. Tillinghast and first opened in 1916, this 6,185-yard, par-72, Bermuda grass course is the oldest public golf course in Texas. It was also the site of the Texas Open from 1922 to 1959. Laid out along the banks of the The San Antonio River, the links are nestled right smack dab in the thick of beautiful Brackenridge Park. The course is described by avid players as a fun round as well as a pleasant walk for those of you looking for another good reason to sweat in mid-July.

They Don't Have That
There's no driving range, no locker rooms, no banquet facilities and no fancy restaurant. However, they DO offer a grand history and a low price tag that just might make it worth forgoing the usual amenities of the modern-day golf club every once in a while.
