Course is beautiful, but not that maintained. Lots of dry patches but the worst is the rough grass. If you’re not in the fairway your losing your ball. No water stations on the course whatsoever or no cart girl. Paid a discounted rate of $45 for green fees on a weekday for this course is too much. Don’t think I’ll be back.
I honestly thought maybe I was being too critical, so I looked through the recent Google reviews. After reading them, it seems our experience wasn’t unique. We paid $280 for four people to play golf on a Friday. At $70 per person, I expected a course in much better condition. The course is simply not in shape to justify that price. We were also there at the grounds for the weekend with more than 60 people. While I understand that not everyone enjoys having a large group around, it felt like one set of members at the pool who felt that they were entitled made complaints both days we were there about one thing or another. On one occasion, the marshal’s wife came to the pool after they complained and we were accused of “kids making out.” She then yelled at my 18-year-old son and his 18 year old girlfriend and accused them of making out when they were simply hugging in the pool. It was an unnecessary assumption and could have been handled much more professionally. What really stood out to me is that management doesn’t appear to respond to recent reviews, even though many mention the same concerns. That gives the impression that the feedback either isn’t being addressed or simply isn’t a priority. Between the overpriced golf, the condition of the course, and the overall customer experience, I can’t recommend this place. There are plenty of other courses/places where you’ll get better value and be treated better.
This course could be amazing! Unfortunately it has not been cared for or kept up. It was over watered to the point everything was muddy! No fairways simply because no one is mowing it. The greens were great (weird) as nothing else was even decent. The location is fantastic. Such a shame no one is investing in this course. I golf a lot of municipal courses so my expectations aren't PGA course but this was not worth any money.
I really enjoyed the layout and elevation changes and the staff was great. Each hole has its own environment and feel, which I really enjoyed. It is tricky for first timers, so we plan to play here more often to get to know her. The course was in above average shape for being the middle of winter and drought. Live in NW Austin but it'll be worth the drive a little more often. Thanks
If you too were fooled by reviews saying the course is back in good condition, let me reassure you that it is still an absolute goat track. $20 would be slightly too high, $65 is hysterical. There’s no water (and very little shade) anywhere on the course OR in the clubhouse so be prepared to bring plenty of your own.
