The new TPC golf course is hosting the Texas Open this weekend. Watching the last round on TV and seeing aerial views of not only the course, but the J W MARRIOTT Hotel, reminds me of the impact this development is having on the San Antonio metro area. Cibolo Canyons is a series of gated communities ranging in price from the mid $200′s to well over a million dollars. It is an absolutely beautiful area. There is quite a bit of commercial development surrounding Cibolo Canyons and the TPC, with all the retail stores and restaurants that you would expect, as well as the new Lady Bird Johnson High School. As a result, several thousand new jobs are being created and a great place for families to raise their children, or retirees to enjoy all the amenities of the area.

The J W MARRIOTT  has 1002 rooms, making it the largest hotel in the MARRIOTT system. It also offers 138,000 square foot of convention space, a 26,000 square foot Spa facility, gourmet restaurants,  a lazy river water feature,  and of course the two 18 hole courses designed by Greg Norman and Pete Dye. Sounds like a nice vacation destination and should attract golfers from around the world. For information on the area, the website is www.cibolocanyons.com.
