Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort reopens golf course to the public

By Brian Weis

Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort announces that its award-winning golf course is now open for public play as of Feb. 2. The course proudly welcomes guests following a brief closure due to a clubhouse fire in November 2017. The 18-hole course recently underwent a $2 million restoration and was unaffected by the fire.

With kitchen and clubhouse renovations soon to come, the resort has implemented a food truck, Tapatio Springs Mobile Kitchen, to accommodate guests. The Tapatio Springs Mobile Kitchen will offer breakfast, lunch and dinner, with menu items ranging from breakfast tacos to baby back ribs.

In addition to the golf course reopening, the resort's Pure Sol Spa is also open to members and the public Tuesday-Saturday from 9 am. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Overnight accommodations are currently unavailable.

Construction plans for the clubhouse and additional renovations are underway, with intent to break ground starting this summer.

About: Brian Weis

Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
