Brackenridge Park Golf Course
Brackenridge Park Golf Course is a Public, 18 hole golf course located just north of downtown San Antonio, Texas.
Brackenridge Park Golf Course first opened for play in 1916. The course was designed by A. W. Tillinghast. The 2008 restoration of "Old Brack" by John Colligan re-routed the course to Tillinghast's original layout and renewed its conditions to premier standards. The front nine is lined with mature oaks and pecans but the back nine open where the wind comes into play.
Brackenridge Park Golf Course is also the new site of the Texas Golf Hall of Fame. Come visit the clubhouse to see the "Walk of Fame", the "Wall of Frames", and the Texas Tournament Trophy Room!

Just a couple of Union guys out for a round of golf. Joe Cardinal and I met for the first time and set off to have a great round of Golf. Brackenridge is a nice little track which is part of the Alamo City Golf Trail.
I've now played on 2 of the 8 courses that make up the trail but if the rest are like these, it must be nice to be a resident of San Antonio. Both were nice courses.
However, someone needs to explain the square greens to me though. Very disturbing. I have so many questions... how? why? what's the history here? One of them even had right angles so that in theory you might not be able to reach the hole.
Shot an 86 with only 1 lost ball.
