Golf Courses in San Antonio (Mission, Spring: living, moving to, friendly)

[oldsoldier1976]

Okay let's see if I can get some talk about golf.

Living here in Massachusetts and staring out my window today I see 18 inches of snow just delivered three days ago. It is maddening that I cannot head outside to take a few swings and play my favorite sport and past time. I am planning on moving to San Antonio in about 6 to 7 years. A lot can change in that time but in the mean while I will pose this question out there to anyone in SA that is also a golfer.

What are the better golf courses in SA to play at? I know there are a number of them in town. In fact I think I read somewhere that there are over 60 in MetroSA.

Who has some favorites and what makes them so special?

Awesome list. In the summer when I go visit I probably will not have time for golf but I will try to get in at least one round. I will keep this list. If this summer goes well I plan on making other trips. On those I hope to make more rounds.

I know it is a long time from now but in the grand scheme of things 6 years is just around the corner.

Now the list you have given me here I will look more at them on the map. I do like the better course conditions as they make for a truer game. Thanks dpantle
