Harvey would roll over in his grave!!!!!
My wife gave me this round on my birthday. After taking a class from one of Penick's students, re-reading his red book and meeting a relative of his, I looked forward to finally seeing what kind of golf facility they had deemed fit to name for him.
This could have been a nice place. When it was decided that a footgolf course should be sat down right on top of the golf course, it went downhill fast. On the three par 4's that are on the course, there are anywhere from 3 - 5 Foot golf holes on the same hole. When I got to the tee box and saw foot golfers ahead of me, it was a 20 minute wait to play the hole while they played the 4 or 5 they had to play to get off the fairway. The foot golfer's I witnessed had no regard for others or any marks they made on the green with their cleats while taking "shots".
Dont get me wrong, i think footgolf might be fun to try. But I KNOW that it shouldnt be on top of a real golf course.
My wife bought me an 18 hole round. I was so disgusted after 9 I left.
Great job of keeping the course in good condition!
They've done a great job keeping this course in great condition. Greens are much better than most, if not all, public courses in Austin. Keep it up!
Harvey Penick GC/First Tee Austin
We played 11 holes. Course condition is much better than last year. Greens in good shape, but a bit slow. Nice practice range. Staff is friendly and helpful. Great value to walk for $15
Surprised
When i arrived to the course i didn’t know what to expect. However i was very surprised to see for a course this small a hidden gem. Absolutely beautiful greens abs the bunkers have soft sand. Would i absolutely reccomend to the average loving golfer
Quality Greens and Fairways
Great place to get better… Greens are the best public in the city and the course is a great 9 holes.
Super walkable as well
Fun time
As good as expected for short course.
Although mixed with foot golfers all were cordial
Unorganized
I booked a tee time with a cart only to find no carts were available. They did offer us push carts but no refund for the carts booked through Golf Pass.
Will not return to Harvey Penick due also to the poor conditions of the course.
Awesome staff and well maintained course
I spontaneously booked a trip from Houston, making a reservation to play this course based on its reviews. Upon arriving, I discovered I reserved for the wrong day, but the staff was accommodating, allowing me to enjoy their well-maintained course. The greens and fairways were excellent, reflecting the staff's dedication to upkeep. The pace of play was impressive.
In addition, witnessing the youth in their first tee program added to the overall positive experience. I'll certainly book this course again when I'm in Austin.
Thanks- Johnny Palmer
Good for new golfers
Really friendly staff. Play at your own pace. My wife is a new golfer and she liked that she didn’t feel pushed and pressured. I am not new at the game. Course not in great shape but it wasn’t expensive so I was happy for my wife.
Harvey Penick on a Friday mid morning
The course is really shaping up for spring. The fairways are lush and green. The greens are a little slow and fuzzy, but that’s to be expected when they’re try to grow them in slowly for the hot summer. The pace of play was excellent, no one in front or back of me. I walked with my pull cart 9- holes in 1hr 15 minutes. A vey nice day on the course.
Good value
Decent layout, friendly staff and good value for the money. Little confusing the first time you play here with the Soccer Golf layout in parallel.
interesting course to say the least
If your use to a normal course, this isn't a good option in my opinion.
there are better options out there for the money.
Greens excellent
The fairways were good, and greens are the best I can remember. Speed was faster than usual there.
Grest price,great weather,
I got a $10. Hot deal it was so nice to pla HP didn't realize I missed it so much
