Live Oak Course
Fair Oaks Ranch Golf and Country Club



About this course
Live Oak at Fair Oaks Ranch Golf and Country Club occupies rolling Texas Hill Country terrain northwest of San Antonio. The course was designed by D. A. Weibring and Ron Kirby, with Gary Player also credited in the design collaboration. The layout takes advantage of the natural limestone outcroppings, oak-studded hillsides, and elevation changes characteristic of this region, offering a contrast to the flatter terrain found in much of south-central Texas. The routing moves through varying topography, with holes playing across ridges and into valleys where water features come into play. The design incorporates the native vegetation and rock formations into the strategic demands, requiring players to navigate both the vertical terrain and the placement challenges created by the natural landscape. The conditioning and presentation reflect the club's private membership environment. Fair Oaks Ranch operates as a residential country club community, with Live Oak serving as one of its golf offerings alongside other amenities. The club caters to members from the greater San Antonio area seeking Hill Country golf within reasonable proximity to the city. The setting provides views across the surrounding ranchland and preserves the character of the region's oak woodlands, which give the course its name and define much of its visual identity.
