Brackenridge Heights Golf Course
Played On 06/15/2014Good, but could be so much better.
It's a shame. This former country club has all the right grasses in place to make the place fantastic, but apparently aren't willing to cut it as it should. The greens, which could be lightning fast are what I could call barely average for a public course. You can tell they aren't cutting them very much. Same with the fairways and tees.
It's too bad - with the proper mowing, the place would have fantastic conditions.
All in all, a good course, though.
Our rd took 5 hrs, which was horrible. Granted, it was Father's Day and there were hackers around, but still. 5 hrs on a 9 hole course. Ouch.

Played On 06/01/2014Pretty Good Track, although a little simple.
The greens have too much "seeding" or something that makes them too slow. They are fairly smooth, but that makes it tough. This hasn't always been the case in the past when I've played here, though. Numerous greens have tree droppings on them which make putting tough as well. The rest of the course is in good shape.
Oddly, though, at 2:00 on a Sunday afternoon, the snack shop at the turn was closed - you had to go into the bar to get food. Just weird for a peak time. A good course if you want to score. The scorecard has the white tees at 6,260 yards, but my GPS said it was more like 5,300. The first hole alone is 490 on the card, but 425 on the GPS. All in all, a decent course with above average conditions. Show-up price of over $50 is beyond ridiculous, though. The price should be around $40-$45 for a weekend.
