Terrible Tee boxes and OK greens

The Tee Boxes were so dry and hard, it made putting a tee in the ground very difficult.

Good Value

Greens were in great shape...very little to no Poa growing through

Fairways and Tees were typically just so so for this time of year

Pace of play was 4 hours on the nose. Newer carts now with GPS.

Somewhat challenging but easy enough to be enjoyable.

This is my second time playing the Old Course. It has been quite a few years since I've played there. I liked the layout. It was not too hard. Just enough challenge to be enjoyable.
I look forward to playing here again.

Enjoyable Course

The Old Course has a nice layout. For this time of year the course is in good shape and should get better now that Spring is here followed by summer. The tee boxes on some holes lacked grass. It is a fun course to play.

Decent Muni

For the money, this course is good. Like many/most courses in Texas in late winter/early spring, some of the fairways are thinnish, but greens were consistent. Pace was a bit slow, and I never saw a marshal (nor a beer cart unfortunately), but not much worse than most munis that see a lot of rounds played. A shorter course that is fairly open (i.e., you can generally play your ball from the next fairway over if you hit an errant tee shot!) and good for the beginner to intermediate player.

Great Value

$50 for a perfect Sat morning? I'll take it. Course in decent shape. Greens running fast. Fairways not fantastic but it's still technically winter. Overall, great value.
