Standing in a field of Texas bluebonnets, among majestic Live Oaks, surrounded by family and friends as the sun sets over a big Texas sky. That’s the stuff that many Texas brides dream of, but the reality can be a logistical nightmare. Travel, accommodations, and lack of proximity to city conveniences can sometimes prove problematic. Canyon Springs Golf Club solves those and any other protentional pitfalls by offering all the grandeur and scenic beauty of the Texas Hill Country without leaving San Antonio. Director of Sales Brenda Willis describes it as “The Hill Country feel, without the drive.”

Fall In Love

Located on the far north central side of San Antonio, Canyon Springs Golf Club is just 25 minutes from historic downtown and its famed River Walk and only 20 minutes away from some of the best shopping, dining, lodging, and attractions in the city. And, of course, the on-site 18-hole championship golf course for those guests who want to get a few rounds in before the big day.

Convenience and amenities aside, the waterfalls are one of the biggest selling points of Canyon Springs Golf Club. Okay, make that TWO of the biggest selling points. The property boasts two waterfall areas, each with a unique setting and natural ambiance. The smaller of the two, the Oaks Waterfall is nestled amid low-hanging branches of shady Live Oaks and offers a secluded, private feel. The cozy lawn seats up to 200 guests, making it ideal for the couple who wants a smaller, more intimate gathering.

For the couple who want a “WOW” factor, the Grand Waterfall makes a significant impact with two waterfalls cascading down the lush hillside. Surrounded by taller Live Oaks, it can accommodate 500 seated guests for those who want a large celebration.

A shuttle service is provided to and from the waterfall areas, giving guests an eyeful of the property, and the two longhorns, Clutter and Cash, who reside on it. Both spaces create such a stunning visual impact that very little else is needed to enhance the surroundings.

 A Storied Past to Start Your Future

Canyon Springs Golf Club is situated on land that once served as the Classen family ranch. The property still holds traces of the family’s history, most notably an 1855 water trough and a small stone building that was an original part of the Classen homestead. This landmark building is located near The Clubhouse, the smaller of two reception spaces. It features vast cathedral ceilings and French doors leading to a large, covered patio for two-stepping the night away. The Clubhouse can seat a maximum of 100 people inside. But when combined with the patio and small lawn area, up to 250-300 guests can comfortably mingle. Parties larger than 300 will be better served by The Pavilion. Similar in style to The Clubhouse with cathedral ceilings and French doors, The Pavilion features a patio and lawn area that wrap around the venue. It can seat 200 guests inside or as many as 500 using the outdoor areas.

Whether the reception includes a sit-down dinner or butler-passed hors d’oeuvres, the in-house banquet caterer will work with the bride and groom to satisfy their every culinary whim. The staff will handle the details from tables to chairs, linens, dishes, and more. With 25 years in the business, the Canyon Springs Golf Club team is highly skilled at designing Alamo City weddings that are Hill Country dreams come true.
