TPC San Antonio AT&T Canyons Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play the AT&T Canyons Course for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in spring (March-May) or fall (October-November). You'll find perfect temperatures for walking or riding, and the Texas Hill Country scenery is absolutely stunning with vibrant wildflowers or crisp autumn colors. Avoid the brutal summer heat if you can, as it can really detract from the experience.

How does the Canyons Course truly challenge a golfer, and is it as tough as the Oaks Course?

The Canyons Course offers a different kind of challenge than the Oaks, often feeling a bit more forgiving off the tee with wider fairways. However, Pete Dye and Greg Norman's design demands precise iron play into well-guarded greens, especially with those dramatic elevation changes. Don't let the views distract you - strategic bunkering and tricky pin positions will test your short game.

What are the standout holes or unique features that make the Canyons Course truly memorable?

You'll love the dramatic vistas, especially from holes like the par-3 10th, which plays downhill to a green framed by native oaks. The par-5 16th is another stunner, offering a risk-reward opportunity with a beautiful backdrop. The course truly embraces its Hill Country setting, making for a visually spectacular and distinct round.

What's the typical cost to play the Canyons Course, and is it worth the investment?

Expect premium TPC pricing, especially if you're not staying at the JW Marriott resort, but we believe it's absolutely worth it for the experience. Your green fee includes a cart, access to excellent practice facilities, and the chance to play a meticulously maintained, PGA Tour-caliber course. It's a splurge, but one you won't regret.

What's one crucial piece of advice for a first-timer tackling the Canyons Course?

Our top tip is to trust your yardage book and pay close attention to the elevation changes - they significantly impact club selection, especially on approach shots. Also, take a moment to soak in the views; it's easy to get caught up in the golf, but the natural beauty here is a huge part of the appeal.
