Enjoyable round with open fairways on most holes

The Fairways are in great condition at this time with all the rain. Greens have just been sanded so are slow compared to their normal conditions. Disappointed the driving range was closed from 12 for 2.5 hours.

Nice Course

This is the 5th time I have played Vaaler and enjoyed playing it again. Course was in very good condition considering the time of the year.

Only issue I had was the amount of 5-somes on the course. They were relatively fast but still holding up a foursome. Martial said there was only one 5 some on the course but when we continued playing we ran into another 4 groups that had 5 people.

With this being a Sunday with a 1 pm tee off expect to have delays as the local golfers that belong to this club obviously get priority on what they want to do!

Great Course and decent pace of play

Played this course in March 2020 and took over 5 hours to play. They do not have a Marshall. Just played it again and managed to finish in 4 hours. Course was in very good condition, challenging and greens in great shape. Would definitely play it again but it is expensive unless you get one of the Golf Now discounts.

Decent Course with Slow Play

Tee'd off at 12:48 and barely finished before dark. Took 4 hours and 30 minutes to play. Had a Marshall but this did not improve the pace of play. No tournament and no excuse. Waited every shot as did the groups in front and behind.Was told that this was very common.
Fortunately the weather was nice so was able to enjoy a decent course. Course is relatively flat to easy to walk but there are some long stretches between green to tees that may make it difficult for some if you are out of shape.

Slowest Round with No Help From Pro Shop

The rye grass is starting to grow in so in a couple more weeks the fairways and greens should be in pretty good shape.

There is a serious problem though with the issue of slow play that was not addressed by the pro shop. Played in a walking 2 some and we are quick. Waited behind a foursome of 2 couples that were playing a 4 person scramble. We waited every shot from the first hole and were sometimes within 30 yards of them. They refused to let us thru. Called the pro shop on the 7th tee box and he said they had no Marshall even though it was a Sunday. Said he would try to find someone to tell them which he never did. We ended up skipping past them (without asking) on the 10 the when they went to the club house to get something. Come to find out they were 4 holes behind the mixed couple foursome that teed up just before them. Some serious issues need to be addressed at this club.
They also advise you to not bring your own drinks to the course but do not have any cart service and no water to drink on the course.

Crazy Course layout

If you live in Temple Texas then its nice to have a municipal golf course to play. With that being said I would not recommend anyone outside the area to waste any time to travel there to play. Course had a strange layout and is not sign posted to know where the next hole is. While the greens were decent the fairways were in rough shape as was the rough.

Cannot comment on the bar and food facilities as COVID certainly has caused restrictions so was not able to sample anything.

Course is not in great shape

This has been the 4th time playing Hidden falls this year and I was really surprised on the poor condition of the course as compared to the previous visits. Wild grass has taken over the fairways and starting to take over the greens. Fairways were like playing in a cow pasture and greens were really slow. I have played on 40 plus courses in the Austin, San Antonio and Horseshoe Bay Area and this is the only course I have played that is in worse shape at this time of the year than the rest of the courses which have improved condition wise.

Some Excellent/Challenging holes

Really nice course that offers a lot of challenges. Not particularly long off the back tees but the course layout gave a nice challenge on your second shot. This is definitely not a walkers course due to some of the distances you had to travel from Green to the next tee. ie 8th to the 9th hole was 350 yards down the residential road.

No martials on the course so if you are stuck behind a slow group you have to expect a longer round than it should take.

Challenging course

First time playing Avery Ranch and was very enjoyable layout. Course condition was good for the beginning of the season and considering the heavy rainfall a few days earlier that played havoc with the sand in the bunkers. Saw the Marshall on the first hole and said things would clear up after the 2nd hole which was far from the truth. Things never got better and a 5 plus hour transpired to finish 18. Part of this can be attribute to cart path only rule and the number of hazards on the course. With that being said and if you do not mind a slow round of golf, Avery Ranch is well worth a game due to the very interesting, challenging and beautiful holes on the course.

Interesting and somewhat challenging course a short drive from Austin

First time playing Wolfdancer golf club. Very professionally run and could only praise the efficiency of the staff whom were also very polite. Course was a lot of fun to play and certainly had its challenges. Course was in relatively good shape considering it was still early in the season.

Only negative which is not acceptable was the slow pace of golf. It took and 2 hours to plan the front side on a relatively quit day starting at 11:40 am but slowed to a SNAILS PACE on the backside taking 2 hours and 40 minutes. Mentioned the slow pace of play at the turn which was reported to the pro shop and nothing was done. Not having a Marshall to speed up play or have someone to step in for him is a major flaw and really disappointing.
