When the JW Marriott resort complex rose on San Antonio's northwest edge, it came with two golf courses built into the Cibolo Canyons land — the Canyons, laid out by Pete Dye, and the Oaks, given to Greg Norman. Norman's crew had to blast through several feet of limestone to shape the routing, then worked to keep the finished course looking like it had always belonged to the rolling Hill Country terrain: native grasses left rough at the edges, stands of live oak framing narrow, tree-lined corridors that open into wider, more strategic fairways elsewhere on the course. Norman brought in Sergio García, then in his prime as a Tour player, as a playing consultant — a rare case of an active pro helping shape a course built to challenge his own peers. The Oaks opened in February 2010.
It inherited a tournament with roots deeper than almost anything else on the PGA Tour calendar. The Texas Open dates to 1922, and by the time it found its way to the Oaks it had already been played on seven other San Antonio-area courses and crowned champions like Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, and three-time winner Arnold Palmer. Since 2010, sponsored as the Valero Texas Open, it has made the Oaks its permanent home — the tournament's history stretching back a century, the course itself barely a decade and a half old.
The Oaks was built to test Tour players precisely, and it has: narrow driving lanes ask for accuracy over raw length, while the greens have developed a reputation as some of the trickiest the Tour visits each spring. Jordan Spieth's 2021 victory here ended a winless streak of 1,351 days and 83 starts, one of the more emotional comebacks the tournament has produced; three years later Akshay Bhatia needed a playoff to close out a 20-under win.
The Valero Texas Open now sits each spring as the Masters' traditional Tour tune-up, a status the Oaks Course has earned by rewarding the kind of precise, position-first golf that translates well to Augusta National the following week. For a course built by blasting through Texas bedrock, it has become, in just over a decade, one of the sport's more reliable proving grounds.
