Haven’t played course in two years, because rounds took 4 1/2 to 5 hrs to complete, and the condition of the course was deteriorating. I thought that things may have improved so I gave it another try. Welp, nothing has changed except the cost has significantly increased. It took 4 1/2 hours to play on a Tuesday morning; there was a Marshall who we saw twice, but was not effective in getting the offending players to play anywhere close to a 4 - 4 1/2 hr round. Bunkers were packed sand, and some had the bedpan lining exposed. Some greens were partly beautiful, and part were no-grass. I really like the layout, but don’t think I’ll go back unless they significantly improve the experience.

Everything good except being makers were too hard. Also, didn’t get to warmup as they closed the range for two hours in the middle of the day. Overall, a good day.

FIVE HOUR AND TEN MINUTE ROUND.
No marshal activity to fix the problem. Called pro shop during the round, and nobody answered the phone. And this was on a Monday. Makes for a very low probability of playing here again.

Tee boxes and fairways were in fair condition. Sand traps were in good condition. Most greens were rough.

Two holes/greens under reconstruction. Condition of other greens was poor. Tee boxes were good. Fairways were great. No marshaling extremely slow players. Round took 4:45 to play. Full price was charged.

Every single staff person I encountered was friendly and helpful. Marshal drove by multiple times - and voila, pace of play was good - love that! Course conditions were good, despite some rough patches on the edges of most holes. The greens were in great shape and rolled true. Overall a great experience.

A couple of holes have tee box improvement going on, so you have to use temporary tees 50-100 yards in fairway. More homes being built near and in view course, so it may end up being like many other courses that give you the feel it is right in the middle of a neighborhood, instead in a hill country setting.

Layout and condition of course was very good. The back tees were good for me, but those very long hitters may not be satisfied. Lots of construction in the location, not convenient now, but will be a great new clubhouse when finished. Starter had a police type attitude. Pro Shop staff were very friendly and helpful. An improvement idea might be to have the striped pole at 150-yds on fairways. Would also be nice to have some yardage markers on driving range. Overall, a good value through Tee Time, but extremely pricey otherwise.

Fairways were in great shape. Greens were beautiful, but too slow. Tee boxes were in good shape, but the crowning is very unhelpful. The pro shop staff was great, and the starter was great! Overall, a good experience.

Overall positive, but constructive criticisms follow:
- many of the pins were placed in extreme locations.
- the greens seemed slower than normal.
- too many tee boxes were rough and/or crowned.
Practice range and practice putting green are good. The starter is friendly and engaging. The cart person is delightful. Sad to see so many homes being built on the course; in time, it will be just another course in the middle of a neighborhood.

The driving range was good and practice putting area was good. First time playing this course. While I didn’t like the crowned tee boxes, the fairways were in great shape, the bunkers were in good shape, and the greens were smooth and fair, although not very fast. Beverage cart/person was great and inside food/person was also great. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

The course is challenging for any skill level given the tee boxes and hole layouts. Greens are very large, and undulated, so good lag putting is helpful. Fairways and greens in good shape. Rough is challenging, but reasonable. Staff was friendly. Overall, a good experience.

Just far enough away from San Antonio and Austin, this course does not disappoint. Fair and challenging for any golfer. Greens are very large, so invites three-putts if you are not careful. Vehicles traveling the roads do not seem to “see” golf carts that must cross the road several times during the round to get to the next tee box. Marshal is visible. Snack bar is very good, but no cart service on course today. Staff in pro shop could be much more welcoming and friendly. Overall, a very good track.

Range ball machine out of balls. A painfully slow 5-hr round. So backed up that we teed off 15 min after our scheduled tee time. No marshal moving slow players. Greens covered with ball marks, as if no one fixed their marks for a couple of days. Bunkers continue to have no sand and remain unplayable. Limbs from tree trimming remain in place in the rough areas - they were cut 2-3 months ago. In less one year, this venue has continually declined . The big question is why?! Late last year I was contemplating becoming a member - that would have been a big mistake.

The course conditions are getting worse, not better, over the last several months. The bunkers remain unplayable. The greens were the in the poorest condition I’ve seen them over the last year. It took 5 1/4 hours to play a round yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, albeit it was cart path only … no Marshall’s patrolling to move along the painfully slow play. It has been 4 1/2 hours or more to play, the last three times I’ve been there, regardless of the day of the week - that is too long! In its current state, the price of a round is way overpriced. Overall, very disappointing. I’m hopeful they can get things back to the top shelf conditions they once had.

Good course layout and condition was very good. Cart GPS was not working. Pin placement was too challenging for the average golfer, given that the size of the greens is very large and there is significant slope - almost guarantees 2-3 putts. Shots off the fairway are difficult to find given the terrain. Cart person is wonderful. Very slow pace of play. Course is challenging, but a good one.

I was told that I had to share a cart, or pay a $20 fee on top of the cost of my 18 (which includes a half-cart) - this not reasonable. Course was in great shape, except the sand traps continue to be in unacceptable condition. The layout is great. There were no marshals driving the course, so it took us 4:40 to play 18 behind multiple unacceptably slow foursomes - way too long. The starter was outstanding. Inside staff was less than friendly. Cart person was great.

Everything about the round was great, with one exception ... the flags seemed to have been placed in the most difficult position on each green, as if they just held or were getting ready to have a tournament - they were not appropriate for the average golfer, rather, they were for low-handicap golfers. Oh well, it was a great day on a great course.
