Wife and I are taking a 3-day getaway to San Antonio in June. Gonna play a round of golf and want it to be nice. What are the best courses in San Antonio I could get on?

Hyatt Hill Country

Just looking online I was think La Cantera. Would y'all suggest Palmer course or resort course?
Staying in downtown area or venturing out? I'm too old to care about night life, but we can probably steer you to some better restaurants and get away from that Riverwalk nonsense.Gol***93 said:
Any recs for night life in SA? Gonna go out for dinner and drink Friday and Saturday night

If you're not in a hurry (and have the patience) La Cantera is a great place to scavenger golf balls. You could leave there with 20+ pro v, chrome soft and/or other premium balls with very minimal effort.
Bliss is really good, little south of downtown. Durty Nellys was fun back in the day when I did go out if you want entertainment. We have a Howl at the Moon, but haven't been there in forever. You should walk over to the Menger Bar for a couple of drinks, look up the history there. Also, need to stop by the Esquire Bar. All a good walk in the area.Gol***93 said:
Yeah, when I say "nightlife" we're not wanting to go clubbing. Just a night out at a nice restaurant, and probably hit up a piano bar after for some drinks.
Whatcha got?
Give her a nice ball fetcher to reach deep in the woods and down the rock faces, tell her San Antonio rattlesnakes don't bite.Gol***93 said:_lefraud_ said:

That's my wife's job while I play! I'll let her know to get ready for a big day.

I agree on Brack. I just don't find it to be all that special. Good muni course, but not worth what they charge. Cedar is far and away the best ACGT course in my opinion, but its a trek for most people.jgh85Ag said:
I cant say I would recommend Brack. It has a lot of history but just over priced for the condition of the course. Our group plays a lot of the ACGT courses and Brack is about our 5th choice.
I would go with either of the La Cantera courses over Hyatt.
Olympia Hills in Universal City is also a challenging course.
