Pleasant Surprise

While this was a little hike but worth the trip. Although I found the trees a little tight on the back nine but still a fun play. The 18th is all any player could want in a finishing hole - big water carry on 2nd or 3rd shot... Don't missing going into town and dine at Pepperbelly TexMex Diner...

Worth the drive!

This course has a great layout, no houses or anything for that matter to block views of nature. From the doe that crossed in front of us to the snake, we took it all in. Although a hot and muggy day we were able to stand it because the pace was great. The maintenance crew would move as we approached - how often do you that? Even had a cart girl making the rounds.

Well worth the drive out south of Houston. Go have a fun round as it does not over penalize for poor shoots but does reward good shots.

Old style country club

This course is typical of old style CC. The only issue was they had changed the starting hole... Following the layout was strange at times...

A tale of 2 Nines!

This course has two very different nine holes; the front nine is a little more open and no water versus the back that is very tight and has plenty of water. The entire course forces you to plan your shots and use every club in the bag.

Worth the drive!

I was told the super had done a great job of reviving this course and he has done a great job. Enjoyed the course so much we played it again... Greens were in great shape. The Rock outcroppings remind you of AZ courses.... Drive out and have fun!

Old School - water everywhere

With 13 holes having water in play and as narrow as the course layout can be, this course will challenge your shot making ability.

Many of the water hazards are not visible from the tee - beware, as what looks good from the tee might found the water.

This course was a blast, take the time for the history lesson at each tee box. Everything for the rivers to the Native American history.

Fun trek and green were nice!

Great Views

As with several courses around the Austin area, this course has great holes with some beautiful views. Bring a few extra golf balls as there are some surprises on this course - ex. on hole #10 you must hit far left side and you will still end up on the right side.

Beware of unseen water crossing

This course without a yardage book can drive you nuts. Water crossings in the normal landing areas. Fairways left a lot to be desired. Greens however were okay....

Other than the greens were over sanded, this course has a nice layout. Not too punishing for a bad shot but rewarding for a good shot... Like it so much we have already gone back...

The Hills

This course would be very fun for a muni if the greens did not look like old brown carpet. The holes actually have some fun shots but are completely overshadowed by the shape of the greens. No cart girl, the facilities had an odor that made you stay away... While I would like to go back sometime in the future - hopefully the city will get the course back in good shape.

Windy Hilltop

The greens rolled nice for a muni.... not a 5-star course but it was still fun... helps the ego to score even on a windy day... I found the staff exceptionally friendly and would probably go back just because they made it fun...

Nice but unfriendly

If it had not been for the starter we would rate the course unfriendly. We were told of $1 draft at the 19th hole, only to find it closed well before dark...
Layout was fun but greens were a little slow.

Tight but fun

The clubhouse staff left a little to be desired. Even though the course was tight, it was playable. The greens were showing a possible future problem with weeds, if not corrected soon it will not be worth playing. Hole18 has 2 fairways that played a little strange.

Great for the ego!

This course has plenty to offer but does not over penalize for a poor shot. Hole #14 is an all our whimp-out hole... Reachable par 4. Easiest place to pick up a birdie is on #9....

Overall not bad, but no food are beverages available.

Not bad, but didn't live up to hype.

Since this course had a must play hole on Golf Digest list, I had higher expectations. While I will agree the greens were in nice shape, the course did not have much for elevation changes. The famous hole #17 reminded me of hole number #18 at Stevens Park in Dallas. So, would I play this course again - maybe, but there are a lot of courses in the area I will try first, especially since we had to wait on every shot!

Could be nice....

This course is a tight layout but can be fun... A couple of issues on this to mention during play, No Cart Girl, No Water on course and staff was less than friendly for a "Golf Now" deal...

The par 3 over water in the back nine plays longer than it looks and because it has the split green that is hard to see from 160+ yards away - make sure you are on the correct side.

This course could be nice if they would match some of the normal items necessary to enjoy a round.
