Kissing Tree is one of Texas’ newer semi-private golf options; an extremely fun Gary Stephenson design in Hill country w/ an awesome back nine that might be my favorite of the courses I’ve played this week. Conditions were good for the price & expansive practice facility is nice.

Very tactical course, few power drives required, but accurate iron play is a must or the bunkers or elevated greens will make you pay. Nice ProShop, good service, beer cart came frequently, grill was also nice. Fair price, but a little crowded, pace of play a little slow…

Pretty good course in San Antonio. Lots of tournaments hosted out here and can catch it in good condition fairly often.

Grey Rock used to be a semi private course until it was bought by the city of Austin about 7 years ago Ever since the course has been a public facility it gets way too much traffic and is no longer in the condition it used to be
