Formerly a private club, Windcrest Golf Club is now open for public play. This nine-hole course is tight in some spots with a traditional layout that calls for a variety of different shots. Tree-lined fairways and elevated greens protected by bunkers require sharp short game skills and accurate placement off the tees. Water hazards also come into play on two holes. With four sets of tees, the golf course is perfect for juniors and beginners who want some practice or avid golfers wanting a quick round. One of the most appealing things about Windcrest Golf Club is that it doesn't get especially crowded on weekends, meaning tee times are rarely required.

Quaint, old course of big trees and narrow fairways. 9 holes played twice.

Quaint, old course of big trees and narrow fairways. 9 holes played twice. Located in an old neighborhood with senior citizen club members who play often. Don't be offended by the older guys -- they are friendly. Course could be played without driver, and low handicappers will get many birdies. Suggestion: play white tees, then blue (or red!) or black tees to give a different challenge each time around. Fun.

Course is well maintained

A great course for beginners. Staff kept urging faster play but somehow forgot that a foursome is not as fast as a twosome.

A course with a lot of character

This was my first time playing on the course. It is a very mature course with lots of character with big trees and interesting placed greens and tee boxes on several holes. It is only 9 holes but playing from two different tees gives it a different feel. Really enjoyed the experience and will return.

Small 9 hole course thats a joy to play

This course is tucked inside a small community, with the property in a 2 block by 2 block area. The course is maintained thuroughly and the staff was extremely helpful.

Great course, former members are jerks!

I love this course and my father and I have been about 12-15 times in the past 2 months because of all the great hot deals on golfnow.com. The course itself is very easy and very short, but is in remarkable shape for the price you pay. It has better greens than La Cantera, yes, yes I said it. La Cantera has to draw the borders of their greens. The tee boxes and fairways are good condition, minus the par 3's. HOWEVER, the course used to be highly private, and some of the old members still golf the place and if you are not an old member, you are the scum of the earth. These old guys think they own the course. They will boss you around, tell you that you cannot do certain things. For example, I hit one ball out of bounds and dropped to play another ball. One man (red cart with a dog in it, he is there every single day) drove all the way down the fairway blocking my shot to yell at me to not play two balls. Frankly, I wanted to knock his cart over with him in it. Never have I been yelled at on a golf course by someone who is not even affiliated with the course. The people that work there are extremely nice. Overall, I highly doubt I will go back, purely due to these old men. They have ruined the course for me. They are just jerks (cannot use a worse word that would truly fit them).

This same thing happened to me today, he blocked the cart path and told me I couldn't play 2 balls. I told him ok, and then he helped my find my 2nd ball. I thought it was pretty rude, but then he seemed nice.

Great customer service and course conditions!

This was the first time I have played this course, and the service was excellent! Before we teed off, the manager showed us to the first tee box, and gave us a valuable breakdown of each of the nine holes so we had a rough idea of what to expect. Even with all the rain we have had recently, the course was well drained and in excellent conditions. This was one of the most enjoyable rounds I have played in a long time, will definitely be back soon!!

Straight forward and short.

even with members playing in front of us driving their carts onto the greens, play moved. we finished 18 in 3 hours. there were only a few challenging holes due to well placed pins. It's a fun little course.

Had a great time out there. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course is in great shape.

For a 9 hole course you play twice,the course is challenging due to the number of tree. Golfers were good about letting you play through so it took less than 4 hours for a 3 some.

Great course!

I had a great time at this golf course. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the food and drinks were reasonably priced. The course was in great condition, although the greens could use a little work. There are pretty narrow fairways, but the holes are short. Great experience, and a good course for golfers of all levels.

Good condition, fun course

I really enjoyed my round. The course was in great shape given the drought conditions San Antonio is under. It's a bit too short for me - didn't have to hit anything but driver, wedge all day - but that's kind of fun sometimes.

Short but fun describes this course to a "T". Greens are fantastic and accuracy is a must in order to navigate this 9-holer.

Par here is only 34 and the par 4's are all on the short side. 2 of the 3 par 3's are also short. Playing the back tees adds a little length but there is just no way out of the fact that this course places a premium on accuracy and not length. Greens are in excellent condition. Many mature trees that keep wayward shots on the course but are real obstacles on recovery shots. Very gracious staff and the people who play this course are extra friendly. Both times I played at Windcrest this spring I walked 18 holes in about 2 and a half hours. This would be a great course to introduce young people and other beginners to the game of golf.

Great little course!

Played for first time on Saturday and I had a very nice time. It's an easy 9-hole course---great for honing-in on the short-game. only 1 par 5 hole, and several par 3s. Greens are well above average. I'll be back!

Never a dirty ball or cleat......

Windcrest is a great little 9 hole track squeezed into this middle of a neighborhood originally designed to be a private sanctuary for retirees, but as time proves all courses eventually have to open their doors to the public to survive. One thing for sure at Windcrest is you'll never tee up a dirty ball or suffer dirty cleats as there is a ball washer and cleat cleaner on every tee box. Long ballers such as myself will have a blast as holes are nearly drivable at just 325 yards or less and with only #9 as the only par 5. Still this course has a little bite as you'll need to hit the straight ball off every tee as it is tree lined down every fairway. All being said this is a great little track if you are short on time and like to play under 4 hours even with having to wait on the group in front of you and no hills so this is an easy walk.

A hidden gem in a big jewelry box...

Every time I play at Windcrest golf club I feel like I just tricked some one. I mean, for the money you cant find a better deal in town. The greens are always great, the course is trimmed and the atmosphere is super laid back. Most people out here are not in a rush and let you play through if you're a single, which will give you a total 18 hole time of 21/2 hours. Everything I like about golf and nothing I don't! Have to try Windcrest.... ps , Keep your driver in the bag until hole 9. Have fun!
