Designed by Keith Foster and opened in 1997, it plays to par 71 and measures 6,928 yards from the Gold tees, which carry a 72.7 course rating and 130 slope. The routing uses the natural terrain near Lake McQueeney and Long Creek, with substantial elevation change forming an important part of the design.

Five rated tee options range from 4,468 to 6,928 yards, allowing the same routing to accommodate a broad spread of playing distances. Practice and clubhouse facilities include a driving range, putting green, chipping area, stocked golf shop, restaurant and club rental.

Origins

The Bandit was developed in the 1990s as a public golf course serving the New Braunfels and San Antonio corridor. Keith Foster was commissioned to design the course and the finished layout opened in 1997.

Design Philosophy

Foster used the existing Hill Country terrain as a primary design element. The routing moves through pronounced elevation changes and incorporates the land around Lake McQueeney and Long Creek. The result places different demands on tee placement and approach angles rather than relying on length alone.

Recognition

The course has been included by Golfweek among the Top 10 public courses in Texas, recognition that remains part of the club's current description of the property.

Today

The Bandit remains a fully public 18-hole course with direct online tee-time booking, multiple rated tee sets, practice facilities, golf instruction, a golf shop and restaurant.
