Course Insight
Oaks Course, one of two courses at TPC San Antonio, was designed by Greg Norman, assisted by Sergio García, and opened in 2010. The course balances narrower, tree-lined fairways with wide fairways offering multiple routes to the green.
Notable Course Features
The 591-yard, par-5 18th provides a demanding finish even while affording a birdie opportunity. It is reachable in two for long hitters, but others have to lay up short of a creek that bisects the fairway in front of the green. Imprecision on either of the first two shots can leave a player fighting for a par.
Charity Benefit
The Valero Texas Open has generated $209 million in charitable giving over the years, including a record $22 million in 2022. In addition to tournament proceeds, funds are raised by the Valero Benefit for Children and the Champions fore Charity program.
