Just returned from the initial shoot down at Johnson Ranch near Bulverde, a beautiful working cattle ranch (Herefords) that’s being developed into residential and retail by DH Investment Company, the folks behind Southern Trace, Cordillera Ranch and Ledgestone.
So for those who don’t want to click through the whole blog and sit through my ramblings, click here to see a random sample of some images from the past year or so. Shots from assigments, directed shots, personal stuff. Chase Jarvis, at one point, asked readers to send in their opinions as to which ones in his portfolio they liked (and disliked) most. I’d sure appreciate some feedback from you. I like them all, so if you only want to tell me which ones suck, that’s okay, too. Thanks for any input.
I haven’t been there in a few months, but I stumbled across this shot of the par-4 14th, one of my favorite holes there. A short one, with a small green and lots of cool features up in the landing area and around the green. I’ve only played a few Nicklaus courses, but I doubt he’s ever done a better job fitting a GREAT GOLF COURSE into the terrain so well. Maybe because he and Jim Lipe had such a good team on the ground there with David, Charlie and Chris Hill, and with Mike Sheridan.

Thanks to David Dunham, Mike McKee, Julie Williamson and the rest of the Texas Monthly crew for including me in their tournament out at Briggs Ranch on Monday. I’ve said it before, but Briggs is one of the best golf courses I’ve ever played. Top 5, for sure, and probably the best in Texas. Why? Condition, playability, the feel of the whole place. Incredible. I like San Antonio and the Hill Country, separately for different reasons, and Briggs is one of those places that seems to feel like both.
Here’s a shot from what will be the 17th floor of The Broadway in San Antonio. A Koontz-McCombs project.
