Over 7,000 yards of beguiling beauty - that's the best way to describe Canyon Springs. Beauty, because this course winds through some of the most scenic Hill Country north of San Antonio. Beguiling, because the course's wide fairways and accessible greens hide bunkers, natural hazards and subtle breaks. Five sets of tees on each hole create a challenge for golfers of every level. Tee it up on the cliff-top 10th hole and let it rip. But be sure you've got another ball in your pocket.

From the veranda of the ranch-style clubhouse, the championship course seems to have been there forever - not just since 1993. And that's a testament to designer Arthur Hills' subtle style. With plenty of cactus, native oak and Texas wildflowers, the course blends in naturally with its surroundings. Three par 4's are less than 340 yards - a reprieve from the three that are over 445. A huge double green serves both the 9th and 18th holes. Located across the street from SeaWorld® San Antonio, this is an authentic Texas Hill Country golf experience. Just keep the ball in the fairway or you'll see more of the countryside than you bargained for.

If there ever was a golf course with a split personality, it's The Quarry. Designer Keith Foster created a unique layout where the front nine is reminiscent of British Open links-style courses: no trees, deep heather rough and an ever-present breeze to bedevil you. But it's the back nine that amazes most golfers. All nine holes are set in an 86-acre limestone quarry, winding around its 100-foot-tall perimeter and challenging the golfer to carry shots over the imposing chasms. Known for its tough par 4's, strong drives and accurate iron shots are a must.

Carved from the walls of a limestone quarry and nestled amid the live oak trees, streams and wildlife of the Texas Hill Country, The Resort Course at La Cantera is a visual stunner. The thrills include a tee shot from atop an 80-foot quarry wall where you take dead aim at the Six Flags¨ Fiesta Texas¨ roller coaster, "The Rattler." But don't be fooled by the dramatic scenery - this beauty can be a beast. Elevated tees help the shorter hitter, but accurate second shots are a must. The Resort Course at La Cantera is one of the last courses designed by the renowned team of Jay Morrish and Tom Weiskopf. And as proof of their success, the course has been the host of the PGA Tour's Texas Open at La Cantera since 1995.
