Located 20 minutes from downtown San Antonio and its popular Riverwalk, Briggs Ranch was conceived at the turn of the 21st century and became the area’s first private golf facility built in 25 years. Opened in 2001 and designed by Tom Fazio, Briggs Ranch quickly established itself as one of the best courses in the Lone Star State. It was developed on rolling terrain where the Texas Hill Country and Coastal Plains begin to merge.

The layout is devoid of cedar trees and instead features stands of live oak, persimmon and mountain laurel. Fazio took advantage of slopes and washes that run throughout the 2,200-acre property. Fazio and his design team also elected to sod the entire course with Zeon Zoysia, a popular turfgrass with golfers because golf balls tend to sit up more.
