Rocky hazards at the Quarry
THE QUARRY
GOLF COURSE
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
The Quarry Golf Course — built atop the
abandoned Alamo Cement plant — becomes
more and more hypnotic as you play through.
The first few holes are straightforward:
open fields, rolling hills, native grasses and
few trees. Around the fourth hole, creeks
and streams come into play, and you notice
the terrain changing before your eyes. This
changing scene hits home on the back nine,
which plays entirely through an abandoned
rock quarry with walls over 100 feet tall. After
a day here, you will definitely feel like you just
finished one of the most unique and enjoyable
rounds of golf in your life.
WOW FACTOR: On the dramatic 17th
hole, you’ll fire your tee shot over a deep
ravine framed by a 40-foot waterfall.
One of the most unique courses in the world
