Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort

I’m looking forward to when the course improvements are completed. Greens are currently in pretty rough shape as they are being reseeded. That said, Tapatio always has been a great course with just the right amount of challenge to make for a great round of golf.

Great layout and friendly staff. The greens are in horrible shape but the course is fun. Talked with a staff member and asked what happened to the greens and was told that it was just from age. He stated they are in the process of getting new greens within a few years. Im not sure what full price is to play but I’d be hesitant to pay. If you’re looking for a course with beautiful hill country views and not worried about green conditions then it will be an enjoyable experience.

Weather was not our friend. Course is tight fairways. Which always makes for a challenging course. Greens were getting worked on (we were told upfront). I had a great round and will play again.
Staff was very helpful and accommodating.

Everything was excellent except the condition of the greens. GolfNow hot deal was $79 and it was well worth it.

I've played this course a number of times and the layout is great as always BUT, the greens right now are in horrible shape!! Like putting on Kevin Durant's head right now! That's the only bad thing I can say about it but the rest of the course was great.

I have played Tapatio since 2017 and had not been back since the fall of 2024. I was disappointed in the golf course condition. I realize this is early spring 2025 and precipitation is sadly lacking. Nonetheless, I will continue to support my community’s golf course.

We booked online and we had previously played this course, probably 5-6 years ago. Tees and fairways are average. Pace of play was fine. However, the greens were absolutely terrible. The review that said they were fine has much lower expectations than we did. We have played four other courses in the San Antonio area. Tapatio was $105 each, and the others ranged from $55-$65. None of the others had greens as poor as Tapatio. Even with low expectations these greens would not be considered acceptable. We were fooled by our past experience. After the round we went into the pro shop to let them know that we were not pleased, and especially that there was no fore warning about the condition. The young man we spoke to to had all the excuses. Greens are older, poa has crept in, but really no apologies. Would suggest avoiding this golf course until it becomes properly maintained from tee to green.

Definitely do not play for the money. Greens are in horrible shape. Just simply not worth the money. When this course is in good shape it’s one of my favorites

Greens are absolutely awful. $115 for a round at this course is a joke. Winter takes a toll on a course, but this place has the worst greens within 50 miles. Go elsewhere

The course layout, staff, amenities were great. Currently, since we are in the middle of winter, it’s very brown. The greens need a lot of work. I am sure with Spring coming and water the course will look fabulous. Definitely a must play, especially if you get a HOT DEAL through Golf Now. The course is hilly, in a canyon, surrounded by the lower hill country of Texas. The holes are very close to each other, with the back 9 surrounding the front 9. Good walking course.

I understand that Tapatio Gold Coyrse has had some problems getting qualified staff to manage and maintain the course over rhe past three months, but I played it in early January, and it was in no better shape than all of the local public golf courses. The fairways were not well maintained, but the greens and tee boxes were in horrible shape, not worth the $95 price tag. I've been told by knowledgeable friends that the course has been in great condition as recently as late September, but something has changed. The layout is outstanding, so this was a bit disappointing. For the same price, a person can play The Quarry and get an excellent course. I will wait until spring to play Tapatio again...but ask about the greens and fairways before making a tee time this winter.

Loved the layout of the course, will be fun when the full spring hits and everything blooms. Greens were crap, looks like frost damage but starter said they should be 100% back in mid May. I'll likely be back for another round once the greens recover but it was putting on lots of sand and bumpy weeds

So sad to see this course in such rough shape, the greens specifically. This course used to be one of the best in the surrounding area, definitely can’t say the same anymore. I know it’s still technically a “resort”, but this course doesn’t warrant “resort prices” anymore, it is very much overpriced. 2 weeks ago, our cart couldn’t go up any hill without severely jerking because the battery was dying. Then, a couple days ago we had a random grey cart with no more GPS on the carts so that was disappointing as well. On a positive note, the hill country views are still picturesque & that’s pretty much what you’re paying for nowadays.

I just moved to San Antonio and kept hearing nothing but great things about this track. $114 round after GN fee, standard rate for a respectable course, but the greens were HAMMERED. 45% of each green was dead dirt covered in fertilizer sand, 45% crabgrass and 10% grass. The course layout was a lot of fun. If the greens were pure I would come back again and again. But just wasting money with those green conditions. Greens keeper and course pro should be ashamed of themselves.

I was scared by the previous reviews, got to the course and realized some people just don't like to be happy. This course is fantastic! Sure, greens are NOT perfect, but they weren't terrible either. Playable for sure. Layout is fun. Some holes have blind tee shots but the carts have GPS and let you know where the group ahead is. My wife and I finished our round in 3:15. And that was with us having 3 foursomes in front of us. The people who played here knew how to play and moved as such. It was a lovely experience to see a full golf course flow smoothly. They have a good chip/pitching section and driving range. Overall golf was a lot of fun.

I want to touch on some of the reviews I read about the starter - the starter was great. He did his job perfectly - which was keep pace of play moving and organize groups accordingly. He did exactly that. He even came up to us during warm up and ASKED US if we wanted to start early. I say that because I read reviews of people saying the starter FORCED them to go.... not true at all. It was a kind gesture to come up and say "hey, tee box is open and there's no groups going out if you wan to head out now, you can". I loved it.

Lastly, this is a resort so it comes with all the bells and whistles - restaurant, bar, multiple areas to relax and watch other hackers golf. It was a lot of fun.

This was our first time golfing here but we will definitely come back. If you've golfed in the San Antonio area, just know this is NOT La Cantera , and is priced as such, but will be soon - you can feel it. It has more Quarry vibes for around the same price and a lot faster pace of play. It blows Hill Country Hyatt out of the water for sure - even pre construction.
