Do not play here. Play anywhere else.

Could barely be considered a golf course. Greens are browns, grass is sand, everything felt like we were on MTV’s ‘Punkd.’ Guy was nice enough, but for real… play anywhere else.

Do not go during the week in summer

Booked this course for myself and a friend for 18 holes. The course was in pretty rough shape . The grounds were hard and cracking in the tee box (broke several tees trying to place them in the ground finally just fit them into the cracked earth) and the greens were muddy and very bumpy. The course itself was ok for the money was much closer to a par 3 course (pitch and putt) than a full course l. The staff was friendly and helpful. The biggest drawback was that apparently they do kids camps Monday- Thursday in the summer so we there were groups of about 10 kids at ever hole. They staff said we should be able to play through but it still didn't make for an enjoyable experience for adults trying enjoy a morning of golf. I would have really appreciated knowing about the camps at the time of booking as I would have made a different choice .

You should get paid to play here.

Completely awful. Don’t ever play here. Horrible layout. Greens are terrible. Unless you like putting in the mud. They have people playing foot golf that slows down the pace. Walked off after the 3rd hole. Complete garbage

Muddy Greens

The city of Austin needs to invest in repair of the greens that were damaged in the FEBRUARY ice storm. The signage on the course is poor.

Not bad for the price

This was our first time playing here, the greens are in poor condition, however the fairways are ok. Staff is very friendly and considering this is one of the cheapest courses in the area I think the value for the money is good.

Don’t play here if it’s been raining

Lately the greens have been terrible; almost unreadable. I paid $35 on a hot deal and it wasn’t even worth $20. I understand it’s a 9-hole and normally in decent shape, but it seems like it’s only gotten worse the last few times I’ve played here. Wouldn’t pay more than $20 to play here if it’s like this.

Worse course I’ve ever played.

The greens were like oil slicks, there was a big instructional group in front of us that was holding a clinic on each green, and the grass was horrible. Do not waste your time here.

Terrible Track and greens

Friendly staff. However, I wouldn’t pay more than 20 dollars to play this course again. Rough and muddy greens, the fairways play more like rough and VERY short holes. I had to play from the tips just to make the round interesting. Also cart fees? Really....?

Don't expect much

Don't expect much and it'll be all good. Waited a long time for a cart and we were late for our tee time. Greens are rough. Rest of the course is greening up. Played a quick 9.
