THE TRADITION COURSE AT CYPRESSWOOD
A return to the game and it’s origin, pure and simple, where you can have fun and get lost in the game” - Keith Foster - Designer, The Tradition, The Bandit, Bighorn, The Quarry, Walking Stick. The Tradition has been #1 in the Houston area Four Years Running and still going strong! The Tradition played host to the 1st Stage of the 2005 PGA Qualifying Tournament.

Day 2 - HOUSTON
Play Redstone's Tournament Course, home of the PGA Shell Houston Open. Enjoy your second night in Houston with a night on the town or just relaxing before your journey down the road into the Texas Hill Country the following morn.
 

Silverhorn Golf ClubTHE TOURNAMENT COURSE AT REDSTONE
Redstone Golf Club's new Tournament Course, home course of the Shell Houston Open, is one of only 11 courses in the country open to the public that hosts a PGA TOUR event ! Varying in length between 5,200 and 7,550 yards, the course features Mini Verdie greens and Tif Sport fairways and tees and was designed by the legendary Rees Jones with PGA TOUR Professional David Toms serving as course design consultant.

Since entering the field of golf course architecture in 1964, Rees Jones has designed or redesigned more than 100 golf courses, many of which are widely recognized to be among the very best in the game. A number of courses designed or significantly remodeled by Jones have hosted or been selected as sites for major national and international tournaments, and PGA TOUR players around the world have praised his ability to design courses that are straightforward, yet challenging.

The Tournament Course is uniquely free from any housing development, so you and your guests can enjoy a round that feels like you are worlds away, event though you are just 15 miles from downtown Houston and five miles from George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Treat yourself, your favorite golfer or your most discriminating client to a round of golf on the Tournament Course, and play where the pros play!

Day 3 - Arrive AUSTIN
This morning make the scenic drive from Houston to Bastrop to play ColoVista Country Club. Check in to the Hawthorn Suites Austin Airport that afternoon/evening.
 

Colo Vista Country ClubCOLOVISTA COUNTRY CLUB
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 4 - AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO
Check out of your hotel for a morning tee time at Falconhead Golf Club - one of the first courses designed by the PGA. Then, make the leisurely drive to San Antonio for arrival and check in at the new LaQuinta Inn  and Suites located on the northwest side of town.
 

La CanteraPGA FALCONHEAD GOLF CLUB
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 5 - SAN ANTONIO
A select tee time at Canyon Springs Golf Club starts your San Antonio visit off in the right direction. In the evening, take a stroll down the city's famous Riverwalk and enjoy a relaxing dinner on the sidewalks where some of San Antonio's finest eateries can be found.
 

Colo Vista Country ClubCANYON 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 6 - SAN ANTONIO
This morning, tee it up at the host course of the PGA Texas Open. La Cantera Golf Club is a fitting end to this grand golf odyssey.
 

La CanteraLA CANTERA 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.
