ITINERARY
Day 1-
Arrive
San Antonio for checkin at The Howard Johnson Inn Northwest.
Play The
Quarry
Golf
Club
enroute
to hotel.
Perhaps
no other city can boast of a site less than ten minutes from downtown that
would match that of The Quarry Golf Club, a Keith Foster design opened
in 1993 that is one of the most unusual layouts anywhere. At 6,740 yards
from the back tees, its moderate length may lull you into a false sense
of security. Make no mistake about it, this is a very difficult golf course
that changes personality in a hurry.
The watery, treeless front nine lies
between an adjacent expressway, railroad tracks and an office complex --
not exactly a serene golf experience. Tall heather abounds, adding an esthetic
touch with a propensity to swallow golf balls.
An entirely different experience
awaits as you descend into the quarry for the back nine. It's one beastly
hole after another, with carries over waste bunkers, narrow fairways, and
400 extra yards.
The setting, however is something
to behold. The sheer walls of the quarry extend up to a rim lined with
luxury homes, and the factory where limestone was once converted into concrete
is now the upscale Quarry Market mall. It's urban renewal, with a touch
of The Flintstones' Bedrock.
Day 2
- Preferred tee time
at
Silverhorn
Golf
Club.
SilverHorn
Golf Club sets a high standard. Walking down the fairways, the golfer sees
live oak and mesquite trees, gently rolling holes and straightforward shot
values.
SilverHorn can play up to 6,922 yards,
but strategy is rewarded more than distance. The terrific set of par fives
are three-shotters for all but the longest hitters. While the 556-yard
sixth is considered by many to be the signature hole, the 524-yard 18th,
with a pond fronting the green, is the shortest par five and can make a
$2 Nassau very intriguing.
Architect Randy Heckenkemper, a former
designer for Weiskopf and Morrish, has earned a reputation for building
low-key tracks that maximize their surroundings. Although SilverHorn is
inside a housing development, the dense vegetation makes for well-carved
holes that appear very natural.
Day 3
- Preferred tee time
at
Canyon
Springs
Golf
Club.
The
newest and most anonymous development in town is Canyon Springs, unveiled
in late December on the northern city limits. The developers made an effort
to keep things quiet until the grand opening (maybe so they could have
the place to themselves for the first few days of play). Now that the word
is out, they're unlikely to ever get that chance again.
The 7,077-yard layout was designed
by Thomas Walker. Don't worry if you've never heard of him; if this place
reaches its potential, you'll surely be seeing more of his name in the
future.
Canyon Springs is set in a scenic
oak forest covering a series of hills. The isolated routing makes you feel
as if you're on top of a private mountain, as no two fairways run parallel.
Some might expect a tricked-up course with wild elevation swings and long
forced carries. Instead, the design blends in with its environment instead
of taking advantage of it.
There were some heated discussions
during construction on whether or not to leave some strategically placed
trees, and in the end, the correct decisions were made. The result is a
thinking person's layout where placement off the tee is critical and the
huge greens can make for wildly different pin positions. It needs some
time to mature, but is set to become one of the area's finest.
Day 4
- Preferred tee time
at
The
Bandit
Golf
Club
(New
Braunfels, Tx.)
The
Bandit appeals to all golfers but especially to the purist. With water
in play on 12 holes and 100 foot elevation differentials and pristine condition
this course offers an unforgetable experience. Not a single hole is embraced
by housing. The Bandit is a delightful "change of pace" experience waiting
for the golfer who enjoys a challenge of some unforgettable holes while
enjoying the twisting, rolling terrain of the historical Texas Hill Country.
Whether its the breathtaking views,
the pristine condition of the course or the first class treatment by an
accommodating staff you will remember The Bandit!
Day 5
- Preferred tee time
at
LaCantera
Golf
Club
La
Cantera has been the site of the PGA Tour's Texas Open since 1995. Located
on the north side of town, this thrill-a-minute design by Tom Weiskopf
and Jay Morrish has made quite a bit of noise since its debut three years
ago. It was a Golf Magazine "Top 10 You Can Play" pick for 1995 and continues
to set its sights high, with a 500-room Westin hotel that recently opened
this year.
The 7,001-yard layout is spread over
three hilltops, serving up views of the surrounding terrain. Some holes
seem like a game of "can-you-top-this," with dramatic elevation changes,
carries over ravines, and risk-reward opportunities. But La Cantera pulls
this off without being gimmicky because it's the roller-coaster property,
not the design, that causes the drama.
Speaking of roller coasters, the
seventh hole provides one of the most remarkable scenes in all of golf.
The tee shot on this 316-yard par four drops 80 feet down to the fairway,
set in the bottom of an old limestone quarry. However, your eyes seem glued
to what sits to the left of the hole: The Fiesta Texas Amusement Park,
complete with "The Rattler," a huge wooden roller coaster directly on the
other side of a fence from the green. Every 40 seconds or so, your concentration
is interrupted by the shrieks of yet another group of thrill seekers as
they cascade down the coaster's initial drop.
