THE COURSE – Par 72 | 7,100 yards
The Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio is designed by Greg Norman, with consultant, Sergio Garcia. It reflects the PGA TOUR's departure from the modern tournament style course (expansive grass areas and spectator mounding) to a more natural look and feel, without sacrificing the fan experience, making it very tournament friendly. The Oaks course plays host to the TOUR's Valero Texas Open.
