Kirrville

Elevation : 1,645
Population : 21,031

Surrounded by scenic green valleys, clear streams, and rugged live-oak-covered hills, combined with perhaps the most ideal climate in the nation, Kerrville has consistently been one of Texas’ most sought-after Hill Country destinations. The city’s history dates back to 1869 when Captain Charles Schreiner established his merchandising business and ranching operations here, eventually purchasing more than 600,000 acres of land by 1900.
The pleasant setting attracts not only visitors, but an interesting mix of affluent and somewhat international residents who give the city a little more culture than you might expect out this way. In fact, in the mid-1990s the Wall Street Journal listed Kerrville as one of the wealthiest small towns in America. Fortunately for the traveling golfer, that wealth has helped bring three outstanding golf courses to this town of just 21,000 residents.

Kirrville Golf Courses :
