History of the Quarry Golf Course in San Antonio
At the turn-of-the-century
At the turn-of-the-century, San Antonio’s most unique golf experience was the place where much of the state was carved from. Originally a limestone quarry, the area now boasts fashionable shopping, outstanding eateries, and of course, The Quarry Golf Club.
From a stone Quarry to a polished gem.
Perhaps the most famous moments for the old quarry was that it supplied the cement for the State Capitol of Texas, not to mention many of the landmarks in and around San Antonio. But in 1983, the cement plant was closed and left with only history and memories (and land beckoning a sprawling and more sophisticated San Antonio). Construction for the Quarry course began in 1992 and San Antonio's newest gem of a golf experience opened in November of 1993. Today, The Quarry Golf Club is known across the country as the “must play” course for visitors and residents of San Antonio alike.
Its gentle approach to service makes for a truly one-of-a-kind golf outing -- one that is tailor-made for helping to create new memories of one of the Alamo City's most historic sites.
Designed by nationally recognized golf course designer Keith Foster, The Quarry is recognized around the country for it's unique setting and design. At the Quarry Golf Course in San Antonio you will be challenged and rewarded in many ways. The front nine plays in a links style format and features rolling hills, native grasses, and immaculate greens. The back nine lays out in an 100 year old quarry pit. With elevated tee boxes and shots that will fly over large expanses you will definitely love it. After a day at the Quarry Golf Course in San Antonio, you will certainly feel like you just played one the most unique and enjoyable rounds of golf in your life..
