Brackenridge Park Golf Course

San Antonio, TX

Brackenridge Park Golf Course is the oldest 18-hole public golf course in Texas and one of the most historically significant municipal courses in the country. Designed by A.W. Tillinghast and opened in 1916, Old Brack served as the original home of the Texas Open — the sixth-oldest professional tournament in golf — hosting legends including Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, and Ben Hogan. A meticulous 2008 restoration returned the course to Tillinghast original routing, weaving through the mature live oaks and cypress trees of Brackenridge Park just north of downtown San Antonio. The course also serves as home to the Texas Golf Hall of Fame, with the clubhouse featuring the Walk of Fame and the Texas Tournament Trophy Room. At par 71 and 6,243 yards from the tips, it offers a charming, accessible city-park layout that rewards shot-making over power.

Common questions about Texas golf

How many golf courses can you play in Texas?
BogeyMap publishes 216 courses in Texas. 216 of them are public, resort, municipal, or semi-private, meaning a visiting golfer can usually book a tee time directly with the course.
What is the best public course in Texas?

How does BogeyMap rank Texas courses?
Every list is generated by LooperScore, BogeyMap's own 0-100 composite of course quality signals, verified golfer ratings, and editorial review. We never republish another publication's rankings, and a course only shows a score once the underlying evidence exists. See how the rankings work.
Can BogeyMap get me on a private club in Texas?
No. BogeyMap doesn't sell tee times and never guarantees access. For clubs that allow limited outside play, Looper Pro members can read researched Access Intel describing how that access generally works — the club is always the final authority.
