Twenty-five years in, this private golf community in the heart of the Texas Hill Country continues to set the standard for laid-back luxury living
Drive an hour northwest of San Antonio into the rolling landscape of the Texas Hill Country and you’ll discover a place residents call the state’s best-kept secret. Comanche Trace, celebrating its 25th anniversary, isn’t just known for its exceptional golf but also for blending incredible natural beauty with a relaxed, upscale lifestyle.
Set on 1,300 acres, Comanche Trace is a peaceful retreat, conveniently close to Fredericksburg’s wineries and the cultural buzz of San Antonio. Residents often brag about the climate, which is comfortably cooler and drier than Austin or San Antonio, perfect for outdoor enjoyment throughout the year.
This includes year-round play on some of the finest golf in Texas or anywhere else. The 27 holes designed by legends Tom Kite, Roy Bechtol, Bill Russell, and Jay and Carter Morrish have been honored by Golf Digest and Golfweek as among the nation’s best, offering spectacular vistas and pristine bentgrass greens. President and CEO Steven Held proudly says, “Comanche Trace offers a golf experience unlike any other. Our unique setting provides natural contouring and ideal conditions year round.”
But the allure of Comanche Trace extends beyond the fairways. Three years ago, Legacy Properties embarked on a mission to enhance the community’s amenities, developing new spaces that enrich daily living. Members now enjoy a state-of-the-art, 5,000-square-foot fitness center, four popular pickleball courts, and the Hill Country Taphouse, where craft beer and delicious pizzas complement stunning sunsets.
Real estate in Comanche Trace is as diverse as the landscape. Three newly released phases offer a variety of options—from elegant garden homes perfect for downsizing to expansive estate homes overlooking lush fairways and greens. This November, the community hosts the Tour of Homes, showcasing premier local builders and custom designs and highlighting their exceptional quality and craftsmanship. With home prices ranging from the $500,000s to the millions, there’s something for everyone dreaming of the Hill Country lifestyle.
“At Comanche Trace, our members aren’t just choosing a community—they’re investing in their legacy,” Held adds. “Once people experience life here, they never want to leave, and that’s what makes it so special.”
