The Quarry Course
San Antonio, TX, USA



The Quarry Golf Club stands as a testament to imaginative repurposing, carved from the remnants of a 100-year-old cement plant north of downtown San Antonio. Pete Dye ingeniously integrated the industrial artifacts and dramatic limestone cliffs into the course design, creating a visually striking and strategically challenging playing field that opened in 1993. The front nine winds through a more traditional, tree-lined landscape. However, the course dramatically transforms on the back nine, plunging into the heart of the old quarry. This section features tight fairways, imposing rock walls that loom over tee boxes and greens, and the constant reminder of the site’s unique past. A course that does not favor any specific style but rewards course management. Pete Dye’s son, Perry, has been involved in renovations over the years to sustain its playability and charm. While not a mainstay on professional tour circuits, The Quarry has hosted various regional and amateur events, cementing its place as a respected and popular golfing destination in central Texas. Members appreciate the club for its challenging layout, distinctive scenery, and the camaraderie found amidst the echoes of industrial history.

Good challenging course. Could be crowded at times but with a good pace of play. Many native areas will eat your supply of balls if ball not kept in the fairways. Very narrow fairways on back nine, course built on old quarry. Worth the experience.
This place is a tale of two nines. The front is pretty open links layout and playing to the fairway is critical as the deep rough is brutal. The second nine is routed through an old sandstone quarry. It is incredible! The course was in immaculate shape.
This course is an experience. The way the course was chiseled out of the rock quarry kind of makes your feel like you are in a different state — very different compared to many courses in the San Antonio area.
