Challenging and fun (all the hills) course! The course is well maintained and pro shop are very nice and easy to book a tee time. The view is spectacular and just breathtaking! Definitely one of the best views on a course I've been so far read more

This was my first time at this course and it was actually really beautiful to be out there. We had a court to get from one hole to another. Some of the holes range from easy to diffuly but it was nice to be out there. It's nice that there is a restroom out there , ball cleaners and water stations. The staff was friendly . The restrooms in the club house were tidy and cleaned. There is plenty of parking as well read more

Cedar Creek Golf Course - Course - Golf Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Great course and good pricing. I like the way the practice facility is set up. Course lay out is fun lots of elevation changes. If you haven't tried, would recommend. Would like to see pace of play a little faster, but I feel like that's all the golf course is now of days read more

Friends, this is a revisionist review, but one that offers praise for this Alamo Trail golf course. I last played Cedar a few times about 12 years ago. I had not returned for one particular reason: the dread six hour round of golf! At the time, some of the holes were cart path only, and the course almost required hiking boots to trudge up and down the severe elevation changes on some of the holes. And in addition, this course seemed to attract the most inexperienced golfers, inconsiderate golfers, given their skill level and lack of attention to pace of play. Well, here is the very good news. Those holes needlessly requiring cart path only, no longer suffer this ridiculous course rule. And for our particular date of play, we finished in under four hours. And now about the course proper. I had noticed on previous reviews the rather unfriendly staff working the counter and the course. This just wasn't our experience. I think the Alamo Trail must now impress upon staff the very important notion of customer service. We play Trail courses frequently, and the rule is welcoming, polite and friendly staff universally. Kudos to management! The Alamo Trail offers a variety of golfing experiences, from courses nestled tightly within housing development, some pretty low end housing, some within moderate housing, and some within a bit more upscale development. The most southern courses feel more like south Texas environment, with mostly black dirt and mesquite ( Mission del Lago e.g.), to the radically different hill country feel with rocky ledges and oak (e.g. Cedar) to more park like environ with larger, majestic trees lining the 100 year old fairways (e.g. Brackenridge Golf), to courses with history and majestic tree lined fairways, but also with more open layout design (e.g. Riverside). (As an aside, given the differing characters of the mentioned courses, my favorites are Brackenridge, Cedar and Riverside.) When I first played Cedar, development around the course was just underway. And while houses now line most of the course, the layout is such that houses are AWAY from the errant shot, houses mostly positioned at significant elevation from the course. The view of some of these homes can be pretty impressive. But the true character of the course lies in the elevation changes, and the very hill country character of the ledges, ravines, trees and flora lining the fairways. The course offers dog legs, significant elevation changes to some greens, just a couple of forced carries on some tee shots, and bunkering that does come into play threatening the unwisely played tee and approach shots. The course was in very good condition, considering the drought we have suffered this summer, with very few areas of hard pan turf. The bunkers are well maintained, with sugary, fine sand within. But friends, the very real challenge of this course is found within the confines of the greens: undulating, sloping and breaking greens that are unlike any on the Alamo Trail. These greens reminded me of the links greens that I played in Scotland. Three putting can definitely become nightmarish on this course. The timely tip: try to place irons as close to the flag as possible! Another challenge: the Bermuda rough. The day of our play, the rough along the fairways and around the greens was significant, so come prepared to muscle irons and chips to intended target. Weak, decelerating strokes will spell dyspepsia...trust me, as I speak from experience here! Other issues of concern to the intrepid golfer: carts are equipped with range finders, and on our day of play (Thursday), cart refreshments passed our foursome several times. So, final impression: definitely a must play in the Alamo city. The course can be challenging, but IMHO, is a fair test of skill. A very big shout out to the staff and course workers for their efforts on Cedar. Our foursome will definitely return. Hit 'em straight Yelpers, but not too many times during your round! Enjoy!! read more

The course was in great shape and the staff was very nice and helpful. Thank you Looking forward to playing here again

This is a good course for golfers to enjoy. It has pretty standard amenities for players, nothing out of the ordinary, but good. There were no issues with customer service, and a nice day was had by all of our group. read more

I'm a big fan of the Alamo City Golf Trail in general. With so many different courses to choose from within the city at an affordable price (especially if you're a member), there's always a fresh challenge to choose from. I would consider Cedar Creek to be the crown jewel of them all. Brack has history, Olmos was nicely refreshed, but Cedar Creek has a private country club feel to it. The facilities are nice and the course is nestled in the hill country offering pretty views and challenging fairways. I want to say it's one of the rare times on the ACGT I've seen people out in beverage carts! When it's 102 out that Gatorade on wheels is everything. Only thing knocking it from 5 stars are the carts. The carts across the whole trail are pretty bad and Cedar Creek is exception there. read more

Quick update! Yet another rude staff review. Recommended to my parents that they stop by on a slow day to enjoy the course. Though my dad doesn't play much these days he enjoy taking a ride around courses when possible. He has been playing decades and knows the etiquette of the course. They called Cedar Creek IN ADVANCE and were told there would be no problem for them to jump on and enjoy an evening on the course later in the day. Upon arrival they were shut down rudely by Matt Iwanicki. My folks stated he was not just rude but condescending, dismissive, and even a bit aggressive. My Dad even went on to say he felt belittled and saddened from his interaction with Mr. Iwanicki. No apologies for making my parents drive all the way over there for nothing. No apologies for being told they could get on. No attempt to offer another way to get them on the course. Never a fan of egomaniacs that work in pro shops. Will be taking this to all the way to Alamo City Golf Trail. The negative reviews about this courses service and Mr. Iwanicki are plentiful and that's ridiculous. We come here to relax and not to be treated poorly. I understand everyone is dealing with life but that's no excuse for treating people with this way. This needs to change. read more

Wonderful course, pro shop, and staff! The only issue was singles playing behind us and hitting into us while on the fairway but overall great time! The greens were a tad fast but nothing terrible! read more

Worst customer service ever. Dint even try to help in any sort of way. I'd you are a single player they will not let you have your own cart you will ride with someone else. Specially Fred didn't even try to help read more

I called the pro shop to ask if it would be ok for me to bring my 7 year old son with me as just a rider. The lady that I talked to stated that would not be a problem but that he would just have to sit in between myself and my golf buddy. When I get to the course and check in nobody out of the 3 people in the pro shop mentioned anything to me that my son couldn't ride. However when we went to tee off on the 1st hole the Marshall was extremely rude and told me my son was not allowed to be out there. I told him that I asked the pro shop and they said it was ok. He began to say that's not true and they wouldn't have told me that and argued with me about it. I informed him that if that was a policy that he may want to let the rest of the staff know that in the future. Course conditions: 90% of the fairways were in very rough shape with little to no grass and so basically hitting off dirt. All of the greens were about 70% with each one having a good amount of scorched and dirt patches. The layout of the course is excellent and can be quite challenging which I liked. Once this course gets some new staff and a little TLC I'll definitely be back. Until then there are definitely better options to play within the ACGT courses. read more

This is a rather unique golf course. It is long and narrow, and vey uniquely shaped. There's kind of a triangle at one point. You will also go through a tunnel, under a road, to complete the course. During wet periods it will look green and lush (not as common), but during dry periods (more common), it will look completely different (more typical Texan terrain and a bit arid.). But the scenery is worth seeing and the changing elevations will make you either love it or hate it. If you are looking for a unique golf course give it try, but know it's not a championship type course. read more

The course has been better but it looks like they've stopped maintaining it. ESPECIALLY the practice putting green. I would putt the ball and it would move 10 different directions. This was once an awesome course for being a muni. It needs some serious TLC. read more

Pro shop lady was a complete snob and rude was trying to close early and seem to make up her own rules specifically to not let me get a second cart AND STILL CHARGED ME FOR A CART FEE..... Golf course was beautiful tho, I will be back to finish my nine holes since course management seems to not care about how many groups are out at once on the course. Mainly not happy to deal with that awfully rude old bag of a lady would love to not have to deal with her ever in the future. Would love to know why she's in the position to make up such silly excuses and still rip me off thank you Alamo trails. read more

I love this course. What a beautiful setting nestled at the bottom of a canyon. The course features lots of dramatic changes in elevation. A challenging but still fun course to play. The course does have a driving range and a well maintained putting green to warm up before play. All of the carts are equipped with GPS. I know I appreciate this as I am terrible at eying distance. The course features 5 doglegs with 14 being a double dog leg. I don't know why but I love playing dog legs. I love the 10th hole as you tee off from near the top down to the canyon floor below. Weekend rounds often do take 5 hours but I do not care. There is always a breeze, plenty of shade and a chance of encountering wild turkey, deer, roadrunners and rabbits. I am always in for a round here.

On 06-04-22, my wife and I contacted Cedar Creek and spoke to a Ms Mattie. I explained that we were hoping to go by and rent a cart so that we could see their course. ( I could not play due to recent shoulder surgery ) She agreed to let us do so and instructed us to be there after 5:30 pm. We got there at approx 6:30 pm and were met by Mat Iwanicki, who told us he was not going to let us get in the golf course. I tried to explained to him that our request had already been approved by Mattie. Mr. Iwanicki stated " Mattie is new here and she does not know anything ". He demonstrated no empathy what so ever and appeared to gloat as he continued to demean us. My wife and I left without escalating the incident. On 06-06-22, I called and spoke to the manager, Mr. Fred Garcia. After I explained what had happened, he apologized and stated he would talk to Mr. Iwanicki. I believed that Mr. Garcia's apology was genuine, however, after doing some research, I have discovered that there is an OBVIOUS history of customer disrespect by Mr. Iwanicki . A fact that I am sure, Mr. Garcia is well aware of. So it is safe to conclude that customers of Cedar Creek will continue to be disrespected at Cedar Creek . Mr. Iwanicki is smearing the beautiful game of golf with his ugly personality. This must STOP !!! Ps. Ms. Mattie, who was my original contact at CC was very nice and professional. I am so sorry that Mr Iwanicki threw you under the bus. You DO NOT deserve that. read more

We just played a 5 1/2 hour round. They had people going off the tee box one right after another with no break between groups. In addition to that they had at least five or six pin placements that were an absolute joke for a public golf course. You leave a put a foot short and it rolls back 20 feet. That is not a good pin placement and contributed to the extremely long round. When I called to talk to them I was put on hold for 15 min with no one ever picking up. read more

Stay away, just a sad excuse for a golf course. The layout is excellent the conditions are horrendous. This course used to be nice 10 years back but over the past 4 years just went downhill, it's simply a goat ranch. Greens are patchy, weed infested, fairway have no grass none, absolutely none, it's hard pan or mud take you pick. No marshal so expect 6 hour round. I'm not kidding. It's sad this used to be a great course but not anymore play anywhere but here. Also, they say they did an upgrade to the driving range what a waste of city funds just burn the money at these you could have gotten some heat to stay warm in winter. Hey Alamo City sell the course to someone who cares and will at least try to make it playable. So sad. read more

I have played over 2000 rounds of golf all over the US and I have never had such a cold reception as I get then I walk in to the pro shop at cedar creek. I stopped playing Cedar creek over 10 years ago because it takes almost 6 hours to play 18 holes I played a couple of weeks ago sure enough I think it was the Same guy there from 10 years earlier . This guy in the pro shop he act's as if he owns the place and you are wasting his time, he has better things to do then to talk to u. Not even a hey how are you doing today just a pissed off voice do u have a tee time and him yelling over the radio to someone on the other end. I did not get his name but I think it's the Same guy from 10 years ago. I will never play Cedar again and I will let my 175k followers to do the same. That guy needs to go. read more

Terrible customer service be ready for them to change your tee and put others in front worst course in the Alana courses

Been going there since high school but recently it's gone downhill fast. They treat customers horrible. Everyone there needs to be fired asap. They turn off golf carts for no reason. They don't honor rain checks. I definitely will not be going back. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

Really cool course but always extremely rude and always way overbooked. Fred (individual at the pro shop) is never in a decent mood. They tried to bump my tee time up 10 minutes and put me into a cart as I'm starting to warm up and gave me no other option. Course is really unique and fun but never have had a decent experience all the way around. They could care less about the folks playing. read more

SUPER SLOW. they try to cram in way too many tee times. If you are starting after 1:00 PM, don't pay for 18. You'll never finish. You'll be lucky if you get in 12 holes. We started at 2:30 and at one point there were :4 groups waiting on the 7th hole. read more

Pat (not sure if that's his real name, didn't have a name tag) was rude, hostile, and aggressive. Not sure if I caught him on a bad day but he really made me feel unwelcome.

Nice course, just abysmal customer service read more

The stars do not reflect the course becuase I love coming to play here at Cedar Creek and have been a member of the ACGT for over a year and a half and absolutely love the courses and benifits. With that being said, the other day (4/28) An older gentleman by the name of Tom was completely disrespectful to myself and a buddy of mine, accusing us of not paying the $12.00 fee to walk 9 holes. We have been playing here for years and this is now the second time that Tom has been totally out of line as an employee for Cedar Creek. His approach to the whole situation was completely un-called for. I hope Cedar Creek can do something in regards to this matter. Other than Tom being a completely contemptuous employee, I would rate this course and the rest of the staff a 5 out 5 stars! Kind Regards, Michael R. read more

Price: $30-$40. I've only played there during the $30 specials. Course: Nice course tucked in the hill-country. Very scenic. Unfortunately too many views of houses. A little hilly, but walkable. Almost everyone rides though. Fairways: About the same length as olmos, but tighter. The fairways appear more difficult than they really are. The balls seem to find their way back into a favorable position, thus I lose very few balls. Greens: Pretty good. Summary: If you really golf, you have to check out the course. Its a good muni. read more

At one point the top municipal course in town but lately just a grazing ground for feral hogs. It's too bad because Cedar Creek offers up some dynamite views off of elevated tees and winds around the hill country nicely. Directly adjacent to the Palmer Course they share the same landscape but unfortunately not the same care and management. Cedar Creek still charges too much for the chewed up greens you have to endure so I would consider this before playing a round here. read more

Let me start by saying that the course is great! You can tell the groundskeepers take pride in their job. However, the service at the pro shop is another story. The person at the shop Fred or Frank, or whatever the F### his name is, does not realize he is in the service industry. It seems he believes he is checking people in for a high stakes PGA tournament instead of a leading round to blow off some stress. After asking if there was any chance I could play alone, he said "there is no way, it's very busy" he instructed me to play with a twosome that was walking and about to tee off. Said there is a 4some ahead of them. He said even if it wasn't busy, I can't go out by my self "because it is against golfing rules". I was confused and I told him that every course in the area, and really most courses I have ever been to have no issues letting single golfers out as singles. According to him, no course should ever let singles out. Whatever! Well, I go to the tee box and tell the twosome that I was instructed to play with them. They looked upset at this, so I say that I personally prefer to play by my self, they respond that they prefer to play by them selves also. They say there doesn't appear to be anyone in front of the 4some and if I go around them it could be wide open. I was hesitant as the guy in the clubhouse could have an issue with that and I don't want to be kicked off the course, they say not to worry and if there are issues they will say they told me to do it. Well, this is what was in front of the 4some (which according to the clubhouse person means very busy): a single rider, a 3some, a single walking, and a 2some. I got around all of those players fairly quickly and what could have been a 4+hour round turned into a 2+ hour round. Well, my conclusion about all of this is that the person at the clubhouse needs to be retrained in customer service. Btw this is not the first time I have had issues with him. It's sucks that I like the course and it it the closest municipal course to where I live, otherwise I would not go back just because of him. read more

Fantastic golf course (municipal or not) that is a challenge for all skill levels. I really enjoyed the unexpected scenery and elevation changes at this course, which is not necessarily a-typical of the area, but nice nonetheless. Due to the abundance of rain in recent weeks, the course was beautiful green and soft, which made scoring a bit easier. The multiple sets of tees make this track manageable for the high-handicapper and challenging for the experienced player. No two holes are alike, and plan to use most of the clubs in your bag. Pace of play was excellent (right under 4 hours), club house facilities are good, and golf carts included individual range finders for yardages. The greens and fairways were in great condition when I played, and when you combine that with the fact that I was able to play for under $30, this is a definite 5-star. I have paid a lot more for a lot less, and will definitely recommend this course to anyone in the area. read more

Don't be fooled by the beautiful location of the golf course ! My man was taking me golfing for the first time and it wasn't a good experience. Our golf cart started struggling around the 11th hole and we called the club at the 14th hole because it totally had died. No one came to get us and all I could think to myself was thank God we weren't an elderly couple that couldn't walk good because we would have been stranded all night. Scott and I each decided to get our clubs and walk to the end. Just as we were almost to our cars two guys that were alone in two different carts almost passed us, we said do you work here? They said yes and as we explained ourselves they finally gave us their cart! I'm a smaller woman and carried my clubs the whole way back (which wasn't easy) and my man carried his which was loaded to the rim with clubs, beer, etc. it was heavy! ) I called the office and spoke with Richard and explained what had happened yesterday, He said that there's nothing they could do to compensate us for our bad experience. He gave us Andrews number (the manager) and Andrew said that they were understaffed and had at least 300 people complain yesterday! He said they couldn't compensate that many people and can't us either. I said that maybe you should not allow more people then you can handle. I also said that you need to compensate people for bad service if you want them to come back. Then he said everyone keeps coming here so no need to! That's the worst customer service. He admitted they were wrong but did nothing for it! I told him he would get negative reviews from people and they would tell their friends about the bad service if they asked about the place and he said place a review! I am not a big review person but I'm placing this review for those people that aren't able to make it up those hills! If you aren't capable of walking the whole thing (which not many are because it's very Hilly) then select a different course and if you get bad service don't expect them to make things right because to them your just a body there that's paying them money. I've been in sales my whole life and my customers matter and I'll go a million miles for them to see them return! Not this place! ;( read more

Best value for excellent golf in the city, and my favorite course on the Alamo Golf Trail. The course offers sweeping fairways with challenging hills and tree placements. Moderately difficult with not too many water hazards. Both number 9 & 10 should provide an ego boost (see: inflated driving distance) due to elevated tee boxes. Easy to walk on in the afternoons and cheap for a twilight nine holes. read more

I have played this golf course on two occasions. It is a beautiful golf course and well maintained especially during the extreme drought conditions we have experienced lately. My main complaints are with the speed of play and the employees at the course. The first time I played at Cedar Creek my group received a rain check because we had completed 8 holes in 3.5 hours and could not enjoy ourselves in the July heat at that speed. With that rain check in mind, I convinced my friends to play again at the course and when we checked in the Cedar Creek employee said he could not redeem the rain check because it was over 90 days old. I asked where it said the expiration date on the rain check and he looked it over and said it didn't say anything, but that "I should have been told." He explained that he could not do anything about it because he didn't know who the employee was that gave me the rain check and therefore I was out of luck. At this point I was confused and extremely frustrated and wanted to leave, but if I did I would be forced to pay for my round as if I played. FYI. Cancellations must be done 24 hours in advance or you lose your deposit money. I had mentioned also that the rain check was for slow play and he said, "If you are looking for a four hour round of golf, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!" I put that in caps because of the emphasis that the employee put on the last part. It felt as if he was taunting me to leave which I was tempted to except I would have lost the $51.00 and abandoned my friends all the while not enjoying a gorgeous day at a nice course. We finished in 5.5 hours sandwiched in between a few groups, but otherwise it was nice. The best part of the day was a young employee at the end of the round cleaned our club heads and did not look for a tip, which was freely given. That made it better, but did not excuse the behavior of the employee at check in. It is unfortunate that the employee was extremely rude and unwilling to work with the rain check. It was extremely frustrating early on a Sunday morning and not something that you want to deal with after convincing your friends to give the course another shot. With all the above said and the abundance of premier golf clubs in San Antonio I would highly recommend, as the employee said to me, to "go somewhere else." read more

We have played this course since it started in 1989. Back then It was a green oasis with no noise and distractions. Over the years all the beautiful green belt surrounding this tract has disappeared. There's grass on this course but it is all dormant. They do not overseed. The undulations on fairways and even greens are unlike any other course in this area. Having a flat lie at Cedar is an anomaly. They went out of their way to create an excessive amount of berms on fairways and around greens. There is no Ranger on this course. You are at the mercy of the slowest players and pace of play grinds to a screeching halt. There's no fun in waiting for every shot because the duffers in front think they are Jason Day and hit from the Tips very badly. The Trolls in the Proshop haven't changed in 30 years. Cedar has always had some of the least civil or creative employees in town. The clubhouse is unchanged from thirty years ago. This course gets too crowded and because it's a bit better than Olmos Basin the mudhole, or Willow Springs too far away, and Cedar is the only NW San Antonio Muny it gets slammed. read more

Absolutely beautiful, but poorly mismanaged. Took 5 hours to play 13 holes before I left. Has a ton of potential.
