Fair Oaks Ranch

 

Fair Oaks Ranch is a tranquil expanse of stunning countryside, located less than thirty miles from Downtown San Antonio and only a 10-minute drive from charming Boerne. Once the private ranchland of oil baron Ralph Fair, Fair Oaks Ranch was parcelled into residential land in 1975, and by 1978 the iconic Fair homestead was transformed into the local golf and country club. With unmatched Hill Country views and an oasis for local wildlife, a close-knit community and family-friendly atmosphere, and diverse architectural texture created from custom-built homes, there is nowhere else on earth like Fair Oaks Ranch.

Idyllic Fair Oaks Ranch is a rural solace from city living. Its unique location and proximity to San Antonio provide residents with the convenience of urban amenities without the bustle of city life. Locals can also take advantage of their closeness to Boerne’s vintage boutiques and eccentric eateries while maintaining the privacy of a more secluded neighborhood.

The heart of Fair Oaks Ranch is its golf and country club, a gathering place for community members. Operating in what once was the estate of Ralph Fair, The Fair Oaks Golf & Country Club is a private, members-only club nestled in Hill Country’s stunning countryside. The club has two immaculate 18-hole golf courses that can be played back to back. The Blackjack Oak course was designed by Gary Player and Denis Griffith, while the Live Oak course was created by Rob Kirby—both courses are challenging and engaging, encouraging players to hone their skill while enjoying the game. Additionally, the Country Club operates 14 lighted courts that are suitable for all ages and all skill levels to enjoy. Weeknight leagues and junior academy tennis instructions keep the whole family busy on the court. Their top-of-the-line fitness center ensures that members have the tools and equipment to stay in top shape. Dining at the clubhouse is made easy with chef-curated menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 

 

Local eateries boast small-town charisma and bold flavors. For flaky, freshly-baked pastries and the perfect latte, head to The Spotted Deer Coffee Company, where a local father-daughter duo is transforming Fair Oaks Ranch’s coffee culture. Roadside Flagstop Cafe blends diner favorites with vibrant Texas fares. Joyce Cake Bake Shop is a local boutique cakery that creates stunning desserts with elaborate decorations and astounding flavor combinations. These made-to-order masterpieces are perfect for birthday celebrations, weddings, or simply to indulge your sweet tooth.

Fair Oaks Ranch Golf & Country Club has a variety of golf leagues to encourage and challenge players to hone their skills and play to their potential, with leagues sponsoring year-round tournaments that garner interest from the best players nationwide. Whether you’re a beginner or hoping to play with the whole family, there’s a league that will suit your style. The Country Club also offers activities designed specifically for kids, including splash pads, swimming lessons, a pool with an on-duty certified lifeguard, and more.
