Salado Del Rio reopened last January after the tees were reshaped and the greens that had been saucershaped for years (after all, that was the design of the times) were redesigned to be more undulating, adding to the challenge of this long-time favorite. The course was also lengthened to over 6,500-yards and, thanks to additional mounding, renovated bunkering and an improved drainage system, will be far more enjoyable to play more days of the year.

Salado Del Rio might be the more scenic of the two courses with its tree-lined fairways, additional mounding around the greens, and forced carries over hazards, some you can play out of, some you can’t. The stretch of holes from the fourth through the eighth is particularly breathtaking as they play along and across Salado Creek, offering more pronounced doglegs and the most dramatic elevation changes on either course. The renovated eighth hole is a perfect example, the dogleg left now even more definitive with the green moved back 20-25 yards into the trees where the ninth tee used to be.
