Cedar Creek Golf Course

Overview: Cedar Creek Golf Course is a public 18-hole course in northwest San Antonio and one of the facilities operated through the Alamo City Golf Trail. Course records identify Baxter Spann, Ken Dye and Joe Finger as the designers, with the layout opening in 1989. Current USGA course-rating data lists par 72 and 7,060 yards from the blue tees. The course uses the varied ground of the northern city, with tree-lined holes, water and enough movement in the property to keep the round from feeling repetitive. Its municipal identity is part of the appeal: Cedar Creek offers a substantial San Antonio round within a city-run trail that serves local golfers and destination players alike.

History: Cedar Creek has continued to evolve through the Alamo City Golf Trail’s reinvestment programme. The trail’s history records a reopening after a ten-month course and clubhouse renovation in 2024, including upgraded greens, re-grassed fairways and tee boxes, new bunkers, a refreshed clubhouse and a new golf-car fleet. Those changes sit on top of the original 1989 design rather than replacing its identity. The result is a course with a clear late-20th-century foundation and more contemporary playing surfaces, keeping the municipal facility relevant as San Antonio’s golf network develops.

Did You Know? Cedar Creek’s blue-tee rating is based on separate front and back nines that differ in both length and slope. That split reflects the course’s changing internal rhythm, with the second half asking for a different kind of management from the opening holes.
