Northern Hills Golf Course
Northern Hills Golf Course offers a traditional eighteen-hole round within San Antonio’s municipal golf network. Established in 1969, the course occupies approximately 130 acres and is listed at 6,627 yards. Mature trees and the placement of fairways and greens give it a setting where keeping the ball in a useful position matters.
The twelfth hole illustrates the need for a clear decision from the tee. A pond sits to the left of a narrow landing area, so club selection deserves attention before the swing. Consider how far your chosen club normally travels and where your common miss finishes. A controlled shot to the wider part of the target can leave a more manageable approach.
Across the round, use the trees as information about where the next shot will be easiest. A good angle often matters more than a few extra yards. Choose tees that keep your approaches comfortable, and take a simple route back into play after a mistake. That approach helps golfers of different abilities share an enjoyable pace.
Northern Hills includes a driving range and practice putting green, along with a clubhouse, bar, and grill. The range has separate maintenance hours, including an early Monday closure and later Tuesday opening in the posted schedule. Confirm current access if you plan to warm up. The operator also posted a 2026 tee-box and cart-path project, so ask whether any temporary arrangements remain.
The course is located at 13202 Scarsdale in San Antonio. Use the Alamo City Golf Trail website or contact the course for current tee times, fees, carts, and rental availability. Review course notices before traveling rather than assuming an older construction timeline still applies. Arrive with enough time to check in and prepare. Bring water, follow the day’s instructions, and enjoy a municipal course whose mature setting encourages thoughtful placement from the opening tee through the final approach.
