Effective February 13, 2025, this move enhances the golfing experience by enabling drink service directly on the courses.

This initiative aims to foster a more vibrant community, providing greater refreshment options for residents and visitors while enjoying recreational spaces.
San Antonio City Council Gives the Green Light for Booze at Golf Courses and More!
San Antonio residents, get ready to raise a glass! The City Council just approved an exciting new ordinance that allows the sale of alcoholic beverages at two golf courses: First Tee – Greater San Antonio in Brackenridge Park and Mac Wylie Golf Center in O.P. Schnabel Park. This approval was granted on February 13, 2025, and it’s going to change the way golf lovers experience the game, one swing at a time.
What This Means for Golfers
Gone are the days when you had to leave the course for a cold brew after finishing 18 holes. Thanks to this new ordinance, these two golf courses will be able to start serving drinks immediately! They join the ranks of other local favorites like Olmos Golf Course and Mission Del Lago Golf Course, which were already permitted to sell alcohol. So now, if you’re out on the green, you can enjoy a drink without missing a beat. Isn’t that fantastic?
It’s Not Just Golf Courses
But wait, there’s more! The ordinance doesn’t just stop at golf courses. Woodlawn Park, located on the vibrant West Side of San Antonio, is also getting some updates. Previously, the park was limited in its offerings, only being able to sell food and drinks through mobile vendors. Well, those days are over! Now, with the passage of this new law, Woodlawn Park can sell not only food but also non-alcoholic beverages directly from the park itself. No more searching for the nearest vendor while craving a snack!
Why This Matters
It’s no secret that both golf and parks bring communities together. With these changes, San Antonio aims to create a more enjoyable environment for everyone. Whether you’re teeing off under the sun or taking a relaxing stroll through a park, you’ll have more options than ever when it comes to refreshments. Imagine hosting a picnic at Woodlawn Park with fresh snacks and drinks at your fingertips – a fantastic way to spend a weekend afternoon!
Cultivating a Vibrant Community
This ordinance reflects the City Council’s commitment to fostering a vibrant community. By allowing alcohol sales in these spaces, the city is enhancing the social experience for residents and visitors alike. So, whether you’re gathering with friends at the golf course to celebrate a great game or enjoying a family day out at the park, you can now do so with food and drinks conveniently available nearby.
Looking Ahead
It will be fascinating to see how these changes influence local gatherings and events. Will there be themed golf tournaments with drink specials? How about community picnics and movie nights at Woodlawn Park? The possibilities are endless! This ordinance is not just about alcohol; it’s about creating spaces where people can gather, socialize, and enjoy all that San Antonio has to offer.
Final Thoughts
So, what do you think about these exciting updates? With more options for food and drink, both at the golf courses and at Woodlawn Park, San Antonio residents can truly embrace the spirit of community. As golf enthusiasts and park-goers alike prepare to toast to this new chapter, it’s clear that the City Council is making strides to enhance our living experience in this beautiful city.
Get ready, San Antonio! Cheers to golf outings and park picnics that are about to get a whole lot more fun!
