TPC San Antonio course breakdown
Now that we know the layout of the golf course, what else makes TPC San Antonio a challenge?
The golf course has a primary defense of wind, and calm conditions make it pretty simplistic.
The par 4s are the challenge of the course because they're longer in many cases, along with a couple of longer par 3s.
Norman loves to design courses with risk-reward par 5s, and we have one in No. 18.
