KIWISFLY

Had not played LV for quite sometime. I was actually quite impressed with the condition of the course although it does appear that the course could do with a little bit of water.Greens were quite lush and very slow though.
Some tee boxes required a nailgun to get a tee in the ground but STILL, very good value for money!.

Another LENGTHY round @Falconhead. 5+hours!, This is what's killing the game. Competent marshals appear to be extinct. We had a novice golfer ahead of us playing from the gold tee so we constantly had to wait at the tee-box for him to clear out before we could hit.
So much for the USGA promotion of 'playing it forward' to enhance EVERYBODY'S Enjoyment of the game!

To be fair to the course, it was in superb condition and when it blows there it is a tough challenge..

We knew the day was going to be very hot so we paid top dollar for an early tee time to play quick, get er done and get off the course. The first 11 holes were superb, quite quick, no waiting and were completed in a little unde r3 hours. We left the 11th green turned the corner and were presented with 2 foursomes waiting on the 12th tee box, someone had released a bunch of people onto the back 9 with little or no thought to those coming through and making the turn. Needless to say the last 6 holes took close to another 3 hours!
We expressed our dissatisfaction in the Pro Shop and the gentlemen there could not have been more professional and apologetic, he gave us a 'rain check; for a future round and the foursome that I organized left the course semi-satisified but still curious as to how someone thought that releasing players onto the back 9 with earlier golfers about to make the turn was a manageable situation.??
I like ShadowGlen, but if not for the professionalism of the guy in the Pro Shop I think we'd be reluctant to return.

I accept that playing as a single gives me 'no standing' on the course and I understand that there is no point in letting me play through if there is nowhere for me to go but I wish marshalls at most courses would try to address the problem instead of driving around the course time and time again saying nothing to people playing non-'ready golf'. The foursome I was behind had a very high-opinion of their own game playing off the back tees and spraying balls all over the course, they sprayed 2 balls into the roughs on a par 3 and 2 of them went in search of while the other 2 chatted about the weather, and god knows what else except getting ready to putt, when the other 2 hit on they then proceeded to assess their putts. All 4 then putted out , stood around and marked their cards followed by a casual meander back to the cart. All of this while I'm standing on the tee ready to hit on.Its been a long time since I've encountered a marshall that is effective.

Love this course, Total hidden gem! Was heading back to Austin after a weekend in Houston, pulled in and played a quick 9 holes. Course is as great as I recall, incredible variety and vista's, not having played here for a few years. Pro Shop worked with me to slot me into the field to play the back 9, whipped around in approx. 90 mins so pace of play was excellent!
Heading back there this weekend with my son.

For $24 it was a good deal, shame I played poorly!
