Our
#1
Golf
Destination
in
Texas!
The
Alamo City offers plenty to do after the last hole is played
The San Antonio area has
some incredible golf opportunities along with some of Texas' best tourist
spots. Take a quick tour of The Alamo. Then mosey on down to the Riverwalk.
The city comes alive at night along this famous stretch of the San Antonio
River. But whatever you do, bring along the sticks. because there's no
better place to be in Texas than on the 18th green at sunset at one of
San Antonio's finest links. Nobody knows the San Antonio golf scene better
than Southern Breeze Golf Tours.
The 'Play
Around' Packages located throughout
our site offer optimal golf experience without excessive spending as a
result of choosing to stay in a suitable and strategically located hotel
rather than opting to stay in a nearby resort that will surely cost a bit
more. If golf is your primary concern when visiting this destination perhaps
the 'Play Around' concept that we offer would work well for you. If however,
you choose to stay in one of the top resorts that we represent within this
site, we will arrange those reservations for you and add any of the courses
listed below to your trip. See SAN

The Bandit will steal your heart.
It is as breathtaking as it is treacherous. You will need to hit every
club in your bag. Situated on Lake McQueeney and Long Creek, water is in
play on 13 of the 18 already dramatic holes. The Bandit also boasts 71
sand traps to make your round a little more interesting.
The Bandit appeals to all golfers
but especially to the purist. With 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. |

Opened in 1997,
SilverHorn Golf Club
of
Texas has earned the reputation as the best upscale daily fee golf
course in San Antonio. SilverHorn has been ranked among “The Top 25 Courses
in Texas” by The Dallas Morning News. Golf Digest listed SilverHorn in
the “Places to Play” guide for 2001. Not only is SilverHorn Golf Club of
Texas recognized as being the best in the state…it is also considered as
one of the most challenging layouts in San Antonio. Time and time again
SilverHorn offers a unique, stimulating challenge to golfing enthusiasts
of every skill level.
The distinct Hill Country character
of SilverHorn can be credited to designer Randy Heckenkemper along
with PGA Tour Professionals Willie Wood and Scott Verplank. SilverHorn’s
tree-lined fairways, strategic use of sand and water, and beautifully framed
contoured greens make this par 72 course a treasured Hill Country experience
long remembered. |

This 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. |

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. |

Decades of rich tradition surround you
as you scan the magnificent scenery of Pecan Valley Golf Club. History-making
events, including the legendary 1968 PGA Championship, just seen to come
naturally to Pecan Valley. Originally designed by J. Press Maxwell,

Golf Club has been restored to its legendary status with more than $5.5
million in improvements. In addition, the USGA recently selected Pecan
Valley Golf Club to host the 2001 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship. |

The Hill Country Golf Club, nestled
in San Antonio's Hill Country, meets all the standards of a truly great
golf club. The 6,913-yard course is a beautiful, but challenging
18-hole course designed by the nationally acclaimed golf course architectural
firm, Arthur Hills and Associates. A number of Arthur Hills and
Associates courses are nationally recognized, including Eagle Trace, the
TPC course at Coral Springs, Florida, which hosts the PGA Tour Honda Classic.
In its first year, Hill Country Golf
Course was nominated for best new resort by Golf Digest. It was also listed
among Golf Magazine's Top Ten Courses You Can Play and was the recipient
of Corporate Meetings and Incentives Golden Links Award. |

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. |

The Palmer Course at La Cantera
opened in March 2001 and offers visitors to The Westin La Cantera Resort
a second 18-hole course, designed by Arnold Palmer and the Palmer Course
Design Co. The course complements the existing Resort Course at La Cantera,
and together the public daily fee courses are the first in South Texas
to provide 36 holes of championship golf designed by golfing legends.
Located on 225 acres, The Palmer
Course at La Cantera provides golf enthusiasts a par-71 course measuring
approximately 7,000 yards. The course includes several signature holes,
including the par 3 No. 4 hole with dramatic waterfalls along the entire
front of the green and a tribute to Palmer’s late wife: The Winnie Palmer
Memorial Bridge.
Also featured on all of the course’s
carts is the state-of-the-art ParView GPS system, which is key in assisting
golfers as they map out their strategy for each hole.
Arnold Palmer played a six-hole exhibition
on the course during the grand opening, and stated that, “The Palmer Course
at La Cantera is one-of-a-kind and a first-class golfing experience.”
The Palmer Course was named as one
of America’s 100 Best Golf Shops by Golf World Business magazine in 2003
– one of just four awarded in Texas. |
