I had a tee time for Monday 1100 arrived at 1045 and the place was so booked their was nowhere to park! Plus more people where arriving with no one leaving. I ended up not playing. I called the club house & the number on their website did not work. I booked through Golf Now and was not able to get refund which was expected.

We golfed as a twosome on a Thursday afternoon. I am a 16 handicap golfer.The course was in overall good shape considering the amount of rain lately. Layout is challenging with its numerous bunkers and water in play at over 70% of holes. The GPS installed in carts is the best system Ive seen you can keep score and send email copy of score card to every member of group! Greens medium speed, smooth & receptive. The one big downer was the incredibly slow pace of play. We had 2 foursomes in front of us and the group 2 ahead of us was extremely slow. Despite 2 marshals seeing what was going on instead of telling the group to let others play through they did nothing! So from hole 3 to 18 we had way to long of waits. I cant imagine how it would be on a busy Saturday! Other than that everything else was great! I gave the course an overall rating of 4 stars only bc the course, food and all staff minus the marshals was top notch!

I have been golfing at the Hills of Cove for the past 3 years and have a 15 handicap. The course has vastly improved, and continues to do so. If you have not golfed here in the past 6 months then you have not seen the huge improvements made to the greens. Having said that this particular round of golf was on Presidents day and the wind was bowing super hard which is why I gave the course a rating of "Somewhat Challenging, under ideal weather conditions the course plays moderate. The only negitive would be that the course has no sand traps to testa players skillsout of the bunker. Overall nice round of golf.

Two of my buddies and I played 18 holes with cart on 28 Aug 2013. Although wet all day the fairways and greens where in pristine shape! The proshop attendant was courteous and the starter/marshal was very friendly. Pace of play was excellant we finished our round in 3hrs 45 mins and we are not real fast golfers. The normal price is around $80ea but we saved $30ea by using Golf Now so we paid $50 ea pls the bookinf fee on line. Our only beef was that for a course asking this kind of premium in the Austin area it was hard to believe they did not have GPS in the carts. Because of this I could not see paying $80 but the Golf discount we received made it worth it.

From the time you enter the front gate of the property you know you are in for a treat. The property is immaculant. The course generally slopes from right to left with everything from water to thick rough to cliffs on the left balanced out by strategically placedbunkers on the right and protecting the greens. The water features and beautiful homes/yards and scenic views add something special to the course as well as the abundnt wildlife. The par 3s as a collective are long and all are beautiful, the best I have ever golfed having golfed over 35 courses. The course overall has slipped into my top 5 and my crew and I will be returning soon!
