This was our first stop on a minigolf trip in
Austin and we hit this place up right after Mr. Tee from A Couple of Putts
picked us up at the airport. It is a massive play and eat complex with many
other activities you can enjoy if you’re looking to make a day of it here. As a result they do
have some all-inclusive package pricing but you can just pay for single rounds
of minigolf. We played the yellow course first and then were joined by our good
friend Highlighter for the red course once he rolled into town.
As Tom notes in his
review, both courses do have new carpeting and as a result this course
plays well for an adventure golf course. The bricks all seem to be in good
condition and there’s some smoother places where common bounces are made which
helps to eliminate some of the randomness of cracks. There’s quite a few
interesting hole designs with cup placement or the use of hills, bumps and
slight changes in elevation. We found the yellow course to be a bit harder than
the red but that could also be attributable to playing it first after a long
plane right and not having our “minigolf legs” under us yet. Either way the
holes each present a bit of a challenge but there are plenty of ace
opportunities out there as well. In our opinion they would make some excellent
tournament courses.
There is a bit of theming around the course with
the castles but none of it makes it into the actual gameplay. We played the
course on an overcast day so it wasn’t too hot but the
course doesn’t have a ton of shade and could see it being a little toasty on a
warm, sunny Texas summer day. The relatively inexpensive cost for 18 holes brings up the value of this course a lot and becomes even
more so if you are adding it to a package of other fun at the complex. We may
not rush over here as a first option given some of the other excellent
Austin-area courses but it’s a great play and something that will quench your
thirst if you are looking for classic adventure golf.
