Scruffy after a week of rain

The conditions were adequate considering a week of wet weather preceded our round. Some very interesting holes and some gimmicky one as well. Without knowing where the creeks ran made for several surprises on drives that were found in the penalty areas. Shaggy tee boxes weren’t a problem but we’re surprising to discover. Id play it again.

Fun golf round

Greens were very good and fairways were as expected for this time of year. Pace of play was slow. A course marshall would have been helpful to keep groups in front of us moving along.

Beautiful course

This is a beautiful course with some minor annoyances. Fast greens, well maintained greens & fairways, good layout, a fair amount of bunkers, on-site driving range. Now here’s my complaints, which could easily be fixed.
Our golf cart, which was electric, worked well, & had a nice screen in the cart, is gps monitored. If you go out of the area it literally shuts down the cart. Sounds ok, nobody wants a rogue cart, but we had our cart shut down TWICE while driving down the paved cart path. 1 time put us completely out of commission for 2 minutes. Finally it allowed us to continue on.
The other annoyance is the lunch voucher. Nice of them to give that, but assuming it’s built into the price you pay, they offer 2 options. Hot dog or sausage wrap. With todays range of diets, it leaves many of us out to dry. No alternatives are offered, no apology, not even a bag of chips.
How about. Grilled cheese for vegetarians? A veggie sandwich, something?

Great course and great value

The tee time comes with a free hotdog or wrap, drink, and small range bucket. The greens are in the best shape out of the three courses I have played since I’ve been in Austin and the course is beautiful with a great layout. Plenty of dog legs and the tee shots require strategy. Course conditions are pretty good for this time of year and I would play here again in a heartbeat.

Great course for the money

Nice and green fairways and clean and fast putting greens. The pace is the best I've played and the GPS on the carts helps with course and play management.

This course is normally a great course

I’ve played this course many times over the years but this winter the course is in very poor condition. I was extremely disappointed and will not go back until warmer summer weather. The greens were TERRIBLE!!

Pace was as Amazing as this Course

Wonderful experience on a holiday weekend Sunday tee time! Greens fees includes hot dog and drink and a bucket of balls. They take the pace of play very seriously and we soooooo appreciate that! Such a great layout with staff that are eager to make your outing as enjoyable as possible. Will not get bored with the holes on this course. Even with 25 mph wind gusts we were able to enjoy the course! Excited to return!!

Great Value, Great Staff

This has to be the friendliest most helpful staff of any golf course I have visited. And the beer and hot dog included with your tee time is a nice bonus. Cannot recommend enough!
