(November 12, 2007) BOERNE, Texas – National golf experts are taking notice of the sweeping views and natural beauty that encompass the Texas Hill Country. Cordillera Ranch, an 8,700-acre master-planned residential community north of San Antonio that features a stunning Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, has just earned coveted recognition from two national golf publications.

Golf Inc. magazine selected Cordillera Ranch as one of five finalists in the “Private Club” category of the magazine’s 2007 “Development of the Year” competition, which recognizes the nation’s best new golf developments. Additionally, Links magazine recognized Cordillera Ranch among “America’s 100 Premier Properties,” in its special issue on the guide to golf real estate.

“We are thrilled that these national publications have chosen Cordillera Ranch among the best of the best,” said Chris Hill, vice president of Cordillera Ranch. “From the beginning, we envisioned a development that would maintain the integrity and beauty of the original ranch site while creating a premier community with access to a unique selection of prestigious clubs. We believe this project has continually exceeded our very high expectations.”

The 7,464-yard, par-72 Nicklaus-designed course opened in May 2007, and is the centerpiece of Cordillera Ranch. The concept was to design a course that would preserve the property’s striking limestone features, the spring-fed creeks that meander throughout the site and other natural elements. The development on the Guadalupe River also offers its members the benefits of the seven Clubs of Cordillera Ranch, which include the Golf Club, the Tennis and Swim Club, the Equestrian Club, the Rod and Gun Club, the River Club, the Spa and Athletic Club and the Social Club.

Golf Inc. will host representatives of Cordillera Ranch and other finalists at a special awards gala in April 2008 at the Doral Resort in Miami, where they will receive special recognition. The magazine judged each property based on the development’s vision, course routing and course aesthetics.

The Links issue—billed as the “biggest, most comprehensive guide to golf communities”—highlighted Cordillera Ranch’s course and amenities, and noted the development as one of only 14 newcomers to the “America’s 100 Premier Properties” list. The 2007-2008 edition of this special issue is available on newsstands now.
