The Twin Sisters Friday Evening Experience

The days grow longer, the grass becomes greener and the crisp evening air welcomes you back to the outdoors, providing the perfect opportunity to relax around the firepit on the Twin Sisters Patio with breathtaking 25-mile views of the gorgeous Texas Hill Country unfolding before you. Springtime is a renewal of nature and Friday evenings are your time to recharge with sunset crafted cocktails, a culinary tasting station, live entertainment,

Cocktails & Wine

Our amazing mixologist team creates inventive, signature-crafted cocktails with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Popular past patio cocktails include the Peach Raspberry Julep, Tequila Old Fashioned and Bacon Bourbon Bloody Mary with Smokey Chile Paprika Salt. For wine enthusiasts, our Wine Specialist, Jeffrey Cohen, provides insight into winemaking while introducing varieties outside your normal boundaries of flavor and terroir for a truly personal experience.

Culinary Tasting

Every Friday on the Twin Sisters Patio, our culinary team prepares crafted tastings that complement the evening’s signature cocktails. Tropical Watermelon-Citrus Shrimp Tostadas, Warm House-Made Sweet & Sour Chicken and Crisp Firecracker Shrimp are a few selections featured in the past.

For dining, the Ranch and Signature menus are available on the patio, along with the Friday fish feature. The process starts the day before when Executive Chef Isaac Cantu sources the freshest fish available. When the dock receives the fish from the boat, it is flown overnight to the Club where Chef Isaac personally fillets the fish in preparation for Friday night. Another popular patio item, when seasonally available, is our selection of cold-water oysters such as Blue Points and Prince Edward Island.

Live Music

As the sun sets, the patio comes alive with music. During the spring, we welcome talented musicians for everyone’s entertainment. Jeff Woods starts the season off in March. Jeff is a country music artist hailing from Springfield, Missouri. He has been writing and performing from a young age and is now working on his fourth country album.

Every patio has a story, and this is ours. We welcome you to experience it. Graham House is the Clubhouse and Lodging Manager at The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch. He can be reached at ghouse@cordilleraranch.com or 830.336.9164.

Preferred Builders: Home Tour Highlights

We hosted yet another wonderful Preferred Builders Home Tour in late October, closing out our 2024 bi-annual event held every spring and fall. With more than 350 total attendees, this was one of, if not, our most well-attended tours ever.

Agronomy

Challenges. Opportunities. Moving Forward.

Fall has been a busy season for the Agronomy team. This important season kicks off after all the fun of the Ladies’ Ranch Roundup, when we begin our greens aerification process. At the conclusion of this process in October, we have now seen the extraordinary benefit of the deep vertical slicing (Graden device) coupled with the normal aerification of punching holes and backfilling with sand.

Bees and Golf Courses

A long-standing interest of mine has been the benefits of using honey and bee keeping. I have enjoyed honey since I was a child and there are many benefits of having honey in your diet. Honey contains a variety of nutrients, it’s rich in antioxidants and is better for blood sugar levels than regular sugar. Research has shown it to promote heart health, promote burn and wound healing, and help suppress coughing with children.

Amanda Naranjo

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been around the game of golf. From watching golf tournaments on TV with my family to going out to the driving range with my dad during my High School years while on the Golf Team, everything I associate with golf has been positive. I decided to attend the University of the Incarnate Word and major in Fashion Merchandising with a concentration in Business. Fusing both my passion for fashion and love for the game of golf, the golf merchandising path was the perfect path for me.
