Cordillera Ranch Golf Club

 Cordillera Ranch Golf Club


    
    Cordillera Ranch Golf Club is located in Boerne, TX just outside of San Antonio. It's an absolutely phenomenal course with so many awesome and architecturally beautiful holes. The one above is hole number 16 and is one of the coolest par 3's I have ever played. The hole requires you to hit a 4 iron from the tips and the green is small and obviously elevated, but the challenge of it is what makes the hole so much fun to play. The course is very similar overall with a lot of holes lined by creeks and streams. Also, many holes are tree-lined and provide some good shots off the tee to put yourself in good shape. The bunkering around the course is magnificently done and makes it difficult to get out of and they are also placed in good positions off the tee that require a good tee shot to avoid them.
    
    The facilities and course itself are very well kept with some of the smoothest rolling bent grass greens I have ever played. The bent grass greens also make it difficult on wedge shots to control your spin and force you to be able to play different shots into the greens. The range has 2 sides to be able to hit different winds and they also have a nice teaching facility filled with the latest technology where you can get good instructions for your golf swing. They also have a cool addition to their practice facility with a 1-hole par 3 to the side of the range that can be played at different yardages to get a feel for some iron or wedge shots you may see on the course. The chipping green is a lot of fun to practice on with all of the undulation making chips shots more difficult and giving you a good way to practice. 
    
    The club has so many other cool things about it as well as having a house next to the range that George Strait lived in and he is typically at the golf course. The food at the course is also phenomenal and they have so many different things that you can try. Overall, Cordillera is a great experience and a great golf course all rolled into one and is a perfect example of the "Texas Hill Country."

Spanish Oaks Golf Club

 Spanish Oaks Golf Club     The next course I will talk about on the blog is Spanish Oaks Golf Club in Austin, TX. This is the course I grew up on and what really gave me a love for golf courses at a young age. This is by far one of the most fun golf courses I have played with the way that it is designed. The course is set up for difficult tee shots to the eye, but if you can place it in the fairway and see the whole for the way that it is then you can score well and compete out there. A lot of the holes require you to be creative off the tee and see the whole not only for what it is, but what it can be. This is because the holes out there can be played from various spots on the hole and there is no one way to get it right. On top of the off-the-tee shots, the par 3's are designed to perfection and have such a beautiful layout with most of them having water to cover to get to the green. The course is almost always kept in superb championship condition.      The practice facilities
