Cedar Creek Golf Course

We had originally planned on another course in the area that called us on the way (2/3 of trip there on a 2.5hr drive, ugh) that they were going to be closed due to flooding or rain damage (?). So we "scrambled" to find something else open following storms the previous evening - Cedar Creek was open and in great shape. We had no previous knowledge or experience of this gem. Country Club vibes in a muni' - it was an awesome experience and great outing for our group! We will be back for sure. The staff was great in the shop and the starter/marshal was on point. The times were 10 minutes apart, and that was perfect. We never felt rushed nor held up. The course was cart paths only, which was a bummer, especially considering the hills and amount of walking to/from balls away from the path, but that was minor and didn't take away from the great experience. It also didn't take away from the gapping or speed of the game. Comfortable all day and great pace. The course was in excellent shape, even the recently "v-cut and dressed" greens. They were slower than they should have been, BUT they were consistent, and that's what I want and love. Challenging layouts, hidden/tucked greens, hills, elevation changes (we don't get in Victoria) - it was great.

Tough course with hills/undulations and in good shape considering the massive traffic. Overall good challenge. Sand traps are brutal since muni players don't care to rake after themselves, and some of the bunker faces had some work done that left difficult situations... Pace of play on 5/15 was really bad. 5.5 hours. Saw a staff member a few times but he didn't seem concerned.

Easily one of the best courses in the city - my personal favorite so far out of the munis I have played. It is a gorgeous course to boot. It is on the pricier side of the ACGT but worth every penny. Cedar Creek will challenge you around every corner, but with each challenge comes an even greater satisfaction when you overcome it. Pace of play is decent, but some foursomes can slow things down when they struggle with the course - so when you visit do your best to play smart, work fast and enjoy the beautiful scenery between shots.

This is the prettiest and best value in San Antonio; course condition is excellent, challenging and beautiful. Pace of play was great and staff was very friendly.

Let me start off by saying I’ve played this course a lot of times and have enjoyed it, however I have not experienced a round like I did yesterday, ever. To start off it was fairly busy, but reasonable because it was a Friday and it had just rained for the past 3 days, so there was the usual Friday crowd along with all of the people that wanted to get out of the house, that makes sense to me and wasn’t surprised when I had a 5 and a half hour round. What I don’t get is that the club house staff said they ran out of carts, which I would believe if I didn’t see 5 carts in the parking lot not in use, I also did not mind walking, but I was forced to pay the cart fee anyway, which I was not happy with and never got a clear explanation why. Even the starter was in disbelief that I had to walk. It didn’t help when I saw a group of 6, 4 golfers, and 2 extra, all with carts, 2 per cart, that was pretty upsetting. On hole 15 we were waiting on the group in front of us to tee off, and play their second shot so we could hit our first without feeling like we were rushing them, they were not the reason it is backed up. It is a 276 yard par 4 playing from the whites, it’s not impossible to hit close to the green with a solid drive. Then a Marshall came to refill the water jug at the tee box, and proceeded to tell us to hurry up, although we could still see the group in front of us who were about 30 yards from the green, after watching us hit he proceeded to tell us that we should stop goofing off and take it more seriously, we were just waiting to hit as he pulled up, we had even combined with the 2 players that had the tee time ahead of us just to speed things up. Overall, I still enjoy Cedar Creek and have always had good experiences playing there, which is why this round was so disappointing. Slow play happens, especially after several days of rain, and I understand that. What made this experience frustrating was how the situation was handled by the staff. Being required to pay for a cart I couldn’t use, followed by being told to hurry while we were waiting on the group ahead, which left a poor impression.
