Our History
San
Antonio Disc Club, though the name was not decided on yet, held its
first mini at McClain Park on October 20, 2007. There were 17 determined
golfers in attendance. Minis are run every Saturday morning, sign-up at
9:00 AM, tee off at 9:30. Mini's are open to Recreational, Amateurs, and
Open players. (See Tournaments page for entry fees and possible blackout
dates.)
San
Antonio Disc Club was officially founded on January 19, 2008; although
work had actually begun months earlier. With the city of San Antonio
adding Disc Golf courses to local parks many veteran and newcomers to the
sport decided the time had come to provide a unified, organized, club
based in the City of San Antonio once again. With over 30 members in attendance
at that first meeting both the Club Charter and Club By-laws
were
unanimously approved and ratified thus establishing the first City of San
Antonio based disc golf club in ten years.

Boerne Lake
Course Now Open
Congratulations
to the City of Boerne and John Houck for building one of the best
nine hole courses around. "Nine hole? (snicker snicker)"
you ask. Before you get too cocky this course is built in the Texas
Hill Country expect lots of trees (my arch enemies), tunnel shots,
and before I forget ...Wind! Lots of wind! Remember this was Houck
built as well, so all the natural obstacles are there complete with
a few over the water shots.
I am not a big
fan of the mulch tee boxes, but Disc Golf is a game of challenges.
The scenery is great, and I love the "frame" job on the
number 9 basket; you'll see what I mean when you play it. Holes 3,
6, and 9 offer alternative tees for less advanced players, but still
offer a challenge.
Park admission is
$5.00 per carload of four Monday through Thursday. Rates for Friday
through Sunday escalate to $8.00. Boerne residents are admitted
free. (Time to find a friend in Boerne). Season Pass (March -
October) for non residents is $75.00 for individuals and $125.00 for
family of 5. From March through May however the admission gate is
unmanned except for Friday - Sunday. Outside of finding a friend in
Boerne, find three friends drive to Boerne and split the gas, beer,
and entry 4 ways. It's worth the 1.25 - 2.00.
Look for the Texas
Hill Country Throwdown in April.
