ShadowGlen was a lot of fun to play. Course is a very good layout and difficult. One needs to play it more than once to know where to hit the ball. Generally, the course just looks and feels a little rough. Bunkers have been hammered by the recent rains, but they definitely need some work. If management can improve maintenance, this could be one of the best tracks in the Austin Area.

Stone Creek is a difficult golf course, so bring your "A" game. It would be a good idea to get the hole by hole instructions off of their website before you play. While the course is not pristine, it is in pretty good shape considering our drought conditions. There was only one fairway in really bad shape, but it was roped off for maintenance. Greens are very good. I found it enjoyable since there are many memorable holes. Pace of play was excellent for a Sunday morning.

Cypress Lakes is a challenging golf course. It has been around for a number of years as Ormond CC, but fell on tough times like a lot of courses. It is a little rough, but I think that it is definitely on the way back. I would play it again.

Highland Lakes is a challenging golf course with a lot of unique holes. You will not find better views of the hill country or Lake Travis anywhere. It is still suffering from being shut down for a few years. While I am glad that the city of Lago Vista bought the course and opened it back up, I would like to see them bring it back to what it used to be. Lago Vista needs to demolish the old club house and spend some money on maintenance. Greens are really in pretty good shape, but the fairways need better care. There are plenty of bunkers, but many of them are in bad shape. It is ashame to see this course in this condition.
