Spring Branch

Elevation : 1,115
Population : 200

The small community of Spring Branch, named for the spring that flows into the nearby Guadalupe River, is located just west of US 281due north of San Antonio. Only 25 folks made Spring Branch home until Canyon Dam gave life to the lake just east of town, booming this town in the hills of Comal County to a several hundred residents. Since this is less than 30 minutes from downtown San Antonio, the golf facilities here are often associated with the Alamo City. Make no mistake about it though–this scenic region of the Hill Country, while offering the quality of big-city golf, is much more serene, peaceful, and remote than anything in town.

Spring Branch Golf Courses :

• Rayner Ranch Golf Club
• River Crossing Golf Club

Notes
If you can’t strum up action in the bars, restaurants, and marinas around Canyon Lake, head to Bulverde and find Specht’s Store Restaurant and Saloon (830-980-7121) to order onion rings, catfish filets, and live music. Other options are to head north on US 281 to Blanco, TX and the Blanco Bowling Club Café (830-833-4416), where you can chain smoke, drink beer, bowl, and eat chicken-fried steak with the area farmers and ranchers., or Hit Oso’s Mexican Grill & Cantina (830-833-1304)in Blanco’s historic Square. Tex-Mex is their specialty, and you’ll want the Huevos de Oso (bear balls), which is a concoction of sopapillas, honey, ice cream, and pecans.
