Hitting these together due to their proximity. These are both 9-hole courses. You can knock out a morning round in Luling, and grab lunch at City Market. City Market’s dining room was closed due to covid-19 during our visit, but you could order and pick up outside. The Luling course does sell beer, and you get a couple decent views of the San Marcos River.
After lunch, head north 16 miles to Lockhart State Park. The park does not sell beer, so plan accordingly if you want to inconspicuously enjoy a couple. It looks like the course has a bit of a wild hog problem, so expect to see a couple of traps and some fairway damage.
If you haven’t burned out on bbq, you’ve got a list of well-known places to choose from.
Smitty’s Market (Probably my favorite pork ribs. Watch out if you enter through the back door as there’s a pit fire right there.)
If you’ve had enough que, there’s also a pizza joint downtown that we like: Loop & Lil’s Pizza
