Day
1 - Arrive in the AUSTIN area in the morning for a leisurely
drive to Bastrop to play 18 at Colo Vista Country
Club. Check in at Hawthorn Suites Austin
Airport that afternoon/evening. Hotel is guaranteed for late
arrival.
ColoVista
is a scenic and challenging 18 hole, par-72 golf course that's worthy of
any champion's respect. In fact, Texas golf professionals surveyed by Gulf
Coast Golfer ranked this course #4 in best overall courses. However, without
a membership to one of the top three courses, you won't be getting a tee
time!
This lush, semi-private course
is always a pleasurable experience! That's why the Dallas Morning News
voted ColoVista the best new course in Texas. Two distinctive styles of
golf play are available at ColoVista. The front nine plays as a "Texas
Style Links" course and the back nine features a "Hill Country Design"
with dramatic elevation changes, stunning river bluff views and rows of
trees lining the fairways. The manicured luster of plush greens and fairways
at ColoVista are nurtured by a state-of-the-art computerized irrigation
system to ensure the integrity of play year-round. Also on site are a driving
range, putting and chipping green, fully staffed golf shop with a class
"A" PGA teaching staff. |
Day
2 - The next morn head for SAN ANTONIO. But along the
way tee it up at Austin's newest and most unique course, PGA
Falconhead.
This course is a first-of-its-kind layout designed by the PGA. A real pleasure
to play, this creation is both majestic and challenging. Then, on to San
Antone for first night's check in at The Howard
Johnson Inn Northwest.
Falconhead
was expertly designed to fit carefully into the gently rolling terrain
of the Texas Hill Country. It is a golf experience that can be enjoyed
by golfers of all skill levels, including the top players in the world
and average weekend golfers. Each hole has four to six sets of tees so
that the course offers all the challenges you would expect from a PGA TOUR
course, yet it remains fun, playable and memorable.
The newest addition to the
PGA TOUR family of golf facilities, a PGA TOUR Signature Series Course
is a golf facility designed and operated to meet the exacting standards
of the PGA TOUR. Each Signature Series Course is committed to providing
its guests with a golfing experience that lives up to the PGA TOUR’s unmatched
standard for quality, conditioning and customer service, while also being
capable of hosting championship golf tournaments. |
Day
3 - This morning, catch breakfast at your hotel enroute to Canyon
Springs Golf Club for an A.M. tee time. Afternoon is free to
explore the Riverwalk Area of San Antonio. Excellent cuisine can be had
here along the walk. Also, take a walk-up river cruise to get an overview
of what there is to offer along the river. Of course, The Alamo is just
around the corner.
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 - SAN ANTONIO
On this last morning before
you leave for home, play
La Cantera Golf Club
(Golf
Digest #1 rated course in Texas and home of The Westin Texas Open).
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. |
