Texas hill country golf

Grey Rock is in fantastic shape. Greens are rolling true and quick. Overall, the course is in great shape and looks to be going into the winter months at top notch. No complaints on the course; however list price of $84 is steep. I am guessing that since they are the only course in a rather wealthy area, they are able to maintain a high price point.

Lackluster round

Shadow is always a good choice for a reasonably priced golf course but I have to be honest it seems to have gone downhill this summer. Yes, the greens were aerated and bumpy which is totally understandable (FYI I would not play here until after 8/21). My concern is the overall course. The fairways are seeing clumps of crabgrass pop up and the transition from fairway to rough is unclear. The sandtraps barely have any sand.

All in all, I will try to make it back out later in the year but this time around it was a lackluster round.

worth the drive!

ShadowGlenn has always been a top-notch course and with the current $30 green fee, it is hard to stay away. The course is in great Texas summer conditions. The fairways are green and firm. The greens roll true. Overall, the course is definitely worth the drive and price.

Great course / Small Greens

Overall Plum Creek is a great course. Upon arriving you the practice area. Great set up with a range, putting greens, and around 5 different pins to chip around. You are able to chip as far as 80 yards. Great area to prep your short game.

First time player at Plum so the course was a bit tricky. The greens are tight and firm. You have to be spot on to keep it on the putting surface. Most greens held true but a few had some rough patches. The course is not long except for one par 3 over 200 yds. Some tee boxes needed work as well.

Overall, I had a great time and would recommend the course. $55 is a little steep but it was Sunday morning.

Aerated fairways and sand on greens

The course is coming along for summer. It is in good condition BUT just wanted to make you aware of two details.

1. The fairways have been punched. You will not get roll because there are clumps of dirt everywhere.

2. The filled in ball marks on the greens with sand. Sand spots are all over the green. I have never seen this before at any golf course.

Golf Trip

I have always heard great things about The Bandit and let me tell you it lived up to the hype. Fun course with unique names for each hole. I live in Austin and It was definitely worth the drive. The pace was slow but its a tough track.

From tee to green, it was in great condition. Greens were quick but rolled true. Fairways were firm enough to roll out but soft enough to take divots.

Loved holes 12 and 13 nestled back on a pond.

Texas Winter Golf

Overall the course is in good shape. The fall weather has impacted the course and is beginning to turn brown. The fairways are still soft, but are beginning to get hard. The greens were a bit bumpy but overall they were okay. We paid $25 for a Sunday so it was a good price for the course.

Poor mans Pebble

Worth every penny. I was told that the views and coastal golf were similar to that of Pebble. Every hole I had to stop and take it in.

Course was in fantastic shape. From tee to green it was immaculate. I am used to Texas fairways and was loving the softness of the turf. I was able to take pro 8 inch divots while shaping my ball flight in the wind. The greens were quick as expected, but rolled perfect. You really have to hit it close or risk a 3 putt. The course is not long so I played from the tips. I tend to hit my drive 280 on average. The longest par 3 was ~205 from the tips and most par 5s I was within 50 yds for my third shot. No range at the course. They do have a small chipping and putting area. Go play it!

Mo Willy looking good

I play Mo Willy probably once a month. This is the best I have seen it. I play munis and semi-privates, so I see them all.

The greens are rolling true. The post below about shaggy greens must have played on a Monday. Every green is not going to be perfect, but wow is the course looking good.

**Greens will be aerated on 10/11

Great Course. Poor Pace.

The course is in fantastic shape. Tee box to green is lush and smooth. Greens ran quick. We did have rain the day before and the bunkers showed, but it's expected.

The only downside was the pace of play. We teed off at12:54 and finished at 6:30. We waited on every hole, every shot. Seems to be a trend.

Best I have seen it in years

I have played this course over 20 times and I have to say the course is in great condition. The course was lush and the greens rolled true.

Hole 10 is currently getting an upgrade to the tee box but looks to be done soon.

Great as usual

Blue was in great condition. Usually, the fairways are heard, but the rain has helped give them some lushness. Blue is known for the greens, which at times were great, but some holes had some dry spots and bumps. My ball would tend to bounce more often than not.

Consistent

It has been a couple years since I last played here and it hasn't changed. Practice area and nice and spacious. Overall the course was just what I thought it would be. It plays like a links course with hard fairways. You can score out here. The bunkers are maintained as well. Blue is known for the best muni greens in Austin. They are smooth and true. I would say they were a bit on the hard side but it is winter. If you have not experienced Blue I would recommend it. We paid $38 for a hot now, which was a bit high, but it's tough to find anywhere cheap these days.

Great Track. Needs some care on the greens.

Overall the course layout was new and exciting. We enjoyed the views and the scenery changes. To start, the practice area was sub-par. The driving range was small and too many divots. The putting green was a chipping green. No holes, just flags on a bumpy green. You cannot chip on it too! No a great way to start a round.

The tee boxes and fairways were over seeded. The ground was soft and easy to take a divot. The bunkers had little to no sand. Greens were overseeded, but extremely soft. There were divots and markings everywhere on the green. It was very tough to hit a putt without going over a bump or divot.

The pace of play was horrible. No marshall, except for the first tee. We waited on every hole. Took us 5 hours to finish. I would recommend the course for its uniqueness, but I would first make sure the greens are smooth.

Winter Round at Lions

I have played Lions many time and reviewed it as much. The course is just like any other muni in Austin. Overall the condition was good. Greens rolled well and tee boxes were good. Like any course in the winter, the ground is hard to its tough to drive down on the ball from the fairway.

Tip: Putt from off the green. I tried to pick chips clean and duffed a couple. I ended up putting everything 10 ft off the green and it worked. Went from 12 over on the front to 3 over on the back by just doing this.

Fun Course

Lions is an Austin Gem. Fun course right outside of town. It was in its average condition last Sunday. Overall it was green and soft. My only complaint were the greens. They were a little hair and spongy. Hard to have a true roll.
