Cedar Creek, San Antonio, Texas

This course is part of the San Antonio Golf Trail.  We really enjoyed this course...although it was pretty cold, especially for Texas! The course has a lot of undulating fairways that really give the ball a lot of roll.  Women did not get too much of an advantage on most of the holes.  It's quite a long course, even the par 3s are long.  The course was not in excellent condition, but quite good considering the time of year.  The staff were exceptionally nice BUT there was no liquor on the course so I couldn't try a bloody mary.  There were bathrooms on the course that were fairly clean and there were sandwiches on the turn which were good.  The first 9 holes were very hard, the back 9 a little easier.  There were homes on the back nine but none were in jeopardy from random shots.  The greens were in really good condition considering the time of year. Will definitely plan on returning to this course.

We had golfed here a few years ago and decided to try it again.  We liked the course and it was in decent condition, however, I think that at $57 (resident rates they gave us) it was overpriced.  The course is mostly flat and kind of wide open.  The fairways were decent and the greens were in really good shape.  There's no elevation but some water and a trees.  There were tons of deer on the course that didn't look too afraid of people.  We grabbed a hot dog and a couple of beers on the turn which were quite expensive but really good.  I don't think we'll golf here again...there are too many courses on San Antonio to try!
