Summer of 2006 ushered in the first and only Jack Nicklaus signature golf course tucked into the awe-inspiring San Antonio Hill Country. Cascading water features, challenging golf, and breathtaking 25-mile views of the Guadalupe River Valley will become the hallmarks of this outstanding course.
A chain of hilltops form the perimeter of the golf community, encircling the 7,450-yard course that meanders through the oak laced valley below. Emerald fairways and velvety greens undulate between natural limestone canyons.
Given a 780-acre canvas, on which to express his vision, Jack has produced a masterful routing that embraces and captures authentic Hill Country beauty, carefully preserving and enhancing the native grasses around the course that are so characteristic of this area of Texas. Early on, Nicklaus and the development team made a commitment to create a core design rather than having homes fronting both sides of the fairways. Estates, nestled amongst acreage home sites, will be set back from the course, camouflaged by the terrain, live oaks and indigenous grasses, with strict adherence to the architectural guidelines of this totally unique, truly Texas community. Consequently, the authenticity of this in
spired land will be preserved and revered. With the par-3 sixteenth hole, Jack has captured the essence of the Hill Country, along with great golf, by placing the peninsula-shaped green just over a canyon, between thin water falls…a player’s dream, a photographer’s canvas, and a certain destiny as one of the most talked about holes in all of Texas.
