Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6590 yards
Slope 114
Rating 70.7

Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 01/2020.

This course, designed by Jeff Brauer and opened in 1991, offers one of the more enjoyable experiences for the average golfer. The par 72 layout is only 6,500 yards and is void of trees, making it more of a links-style course. Mounding is prominent around the multi-tiered greens, making it difficult for ups and downs after approach miscues.

Two holes stand out, both on the back nine. The par 5 No. 12 is reachable in two at only 488 yards, but water guards the landing area off the tee and the green has three levels. No. 17 is a fun par 3 playing 195 yards over a lake.

Remember that the trick to Bluebonnet is the greens. Pay attention to the pin placements and try to find the right level of the green.

Getting there : From I-290 going west get off at the Decker Ln. exit, and drive about 1.5 miles to the course.

New Year's Day

I played the course on New Year's day. It was cold, but not too bad. The wind was what was really making colder. The course was in really good condition, considering the weather we have been having here in Austin. There were wet spots throughout the course, but none that were in the way of play. The staff was friendly and cordial. I cannot wait to play the course again!

Enjoyed the round

Course was in pretty good shape considering the time of year. Greens were in excellent condition. Pace of play could be a little better but the marshalls did try to keep it moving. Overall liked the round and will come back.

Keep rolling!

Big shout out to the greenskeeper! Can’t remember a round on this track that I wasn’t impressed with the greens. A few uneven T-boxes “that I should of adjusted better for” is the only reason this Austin gem didn’t get the whole 5 stars.

Not quite dry yet........

There's a 90 degree rule for now, still water standing in places. A few more days and it should be back in good shape. The tee boxes have been moved back, so go down a club.
