This is a Harris style course South of Austin
that brings with it most of what you would expect from that type of
course. The obstacles are all
undulations, rocks and posts with most of the holes
being similar to ones we’ve seen on other Harris courses. This includes a jump
and one where you have the option to hit the ball into the water and have it
come out by the hole. The holes were mostly wide open
and a section of the course is handicap accessible as a result.
Given the familiarity with the design of the
holes, we all hit in the low 40s right off the bat and would easily be in the
30s after knowing the course a little more. The holes all are makable in two if
you know your way around a Harris course. The carpets were in good condition
overall, though there were some seams showing in places. The holes did have
little flags in them, which as a rule we don’t generally love, but it was easy
enough to remove them when we wanted.
There was some theming around the course but
nothing specifically in terms of obstacles on the holes, but it did lend a bit
of atmosphere to the setting. The course is beverage friendly in terms of
bringing your own (they just ask for no glass). Given the reasonable cost, we’d
play here again even if it isn’t the most unique course in the Austin area.
It’s not too far from the airport either so you can hit it up on your way in or
out of the city fairly easily.
