TPC San Antonio (Canyons)
Shorter and less difficult than the Greg Norman-designed Oaks layout at TPC San Antonio, the Canyons course is a Pete Dye design which has hosted the San Antonio Championship on the Champions Tour since 2011.
The following edited extract is taken from Daniel Wexler’s The American Golf Resort Guide:
“The shorter Pete Dye-designed Canyons course is routed along a rolling ridgetop and features narrow, almost bathtub-like bunkers often set parallel to the line of play. Because the bunkering is less invasive than the Dye norm and water is seldom a feature, the Canyons slopes at only 136 – but there is no shortage of challenge here.
The front nine is anchored by the four-hole mid-section that includes the 381-yard 3rd, the 182-yard 4th (the layout’s only true water hole), the 451-yard 5th and the strategically-bunkered 565-yard uphill 6th.
The back nine opens with the 400-yard dogleg right 10th (which dares a downhill tree- and sand-lined shortcut) and peaks in a home stretch that includes the 224-yard 16th (played across a wide depression to a green elevated above left-side sand) and the 482-yard par four finisher.”
