Quciksand At Woodcreek Country Club
The golf : The game of golf came to Wimberley
in the 1970s but never really achieved a true identity due to shuffling
ownership and poor maintenance. However, in May 2001 the Quicksand
Golf Corporation, fresh from their successful Quicksand Golf Course
in San Angelo, bought the existing property and began to make changes.
The old Cypress Creek course was completely shut down, and the former
Brookhollow and Eagle Rock 18 have been transformed into what is
now referred to as Woodcreek.
The name of the game at Woodcreek is dogleg. On the front nine,
every hole doglegs except the two par 3s, including the signature
No. 8, a picturesque, 408-yard, par 4. This hole drops significantly
off the tee, rounding the corner and funneling down to a small pond
that fronts the green.
The back nine isn’t as flat as the front side, with several
holes featuring elevation changes similar to the signature 8th.
Nos. 12, 13, and 17 all feature impressive views of the countryside
as the hole drops down below.
The best hole on the back is No. 17, a 358-yarder that allows you
to swing big off the tee. The tee shot must clear the ravine to
set up the approach shot into the elevated green.
