Grey Rock Golf Club

Before going to play at Grey Rock, I read all of the terrible reviews about how bad the greens are right now.

Yes, some of the greens are in pretty bad shape, but THEY ARE NOT THAT BAD. That being said - they should not be charging people full price range to play here right now ($50-80/person).

I get the frustration if you paid >$50/person & didn't know the condition of course or if you are going out there expecting to shoot a 71, but that's no the case for most golfers. I read the reviews, but have been wanting to play at Grey Rock for awhile now - so I waited till we could get a really good "deal" time ($22/person).Thought it was well worth that price.

Greens were a little frustrating at times, but to be honest I'd probably still 2 putt even if the greens were in perfect condition. The rest of the course was in great condition especially after all of the rain we have had recently.

You wanna see bad/unplayable greens... go play Olde Oaks Golf Course in Bossier City, LA & then come try to complain about the greens at Grey Rock.

I played at Grey Rock yesterday and I was really excited after all the good stuff I heard. However, the greens are completely destroyed! I don't know what happened, but they are unplayable. According to one of the members, this never happened before, so I guess I just had bad timing.

I moved to Austin last August and have so far played roughly 15-20 courses, this was one of the most expansive ones. I was shocked, and quite frankly angry that I paid for an upscale experience and got the BY FAR worst greens I have seen around Austin.

DO NOT play here within the next 1.5 month, there is no way those greens will recover earlier than that.

The rest of the course was in pretty decent condition, but the greens were long (did have heavy rains a couple days before) and there were at least 6 greens that weren't playable due to some sort of damage that they have not recovered from.

Very enjoyable course. Courteous staff. Greens were in very bad condition. The worst was the par three number eight. Hopefully they can get these conditions reversed. Otherwise great course.

Tee boxes and faiirways were excellent as well a bunkers. But the greens were utter crap. Most of them were mainly sand and very little grass. This is so bad that I don't expect them to have reasonable greens all this season. Only a handful of greens were at least decent to putt on.

Never a person to write bad reviews but with the green fees they are charging it’s unbelievable. The greens are absolutely atrocious. Maybe if I didn’t damage my putter due to all the sand and potholes I wouldn’t have said anything. The city needs to re-evaluate what’s going out there. Such a beautiful course to have greens this bad. Hopefully they can figure it out.

Greens have not been maintained. Hopefully they will be repaired before next year. Shame - fairways are good- more sand than green on the greens.

Very disappointing.

It’s hard to believe that the course is charging players full price when most, if not all, of the greens have been lost. It’s like putting through sand traps. An absolute joke that the course charged full weekend price. Should’ve been at least half price. I’ve played the course two other time and the greens were good. Never going back.

Greens are horrible, many bare spots and heavily sanded. Tees and fairways in great shape.

I saw a review from a few weeks ago that mentioned the greens and I called a couple days before playing and was told the front was spotty & sanded on Tuesday, back was in good shape. Upon arrival, our fees were dropped from $85 to $70 as a discount, didn't say why. Great news to me as I was hosting guests and covered fees for 4.

Putting green was in great shape so I was hopeful. At first tee, the starter mentioned the front 9 was sanded and the back was in good shape. Well..... all the greens were horrible.

Liked everything else about the course. Would play again but not until greens are confirmed. Based on what I saw, it will be 4-6 weeks minimum to be reasonable.

Never seen greens so bad. I saw reviews from a few weeks ago about greens recently being sanded. Called course a couple days before playing and the pro shop guy told me he just played, front 9 were a little spotty and back 9 were perfect. Upon arriving, pro shop said he was giving me a discount from $85 to $70, sweet!. He didn't explain why. Putting green was in awesome shape and had similar expectations for course greens. At first tee, the starter mentioned the front 9 greens were spotty, back in great shape. Well...they are all horrible. Heavily sanded, many bare spots.

Tees and fairways were in great shape. Liked the course layout. Would love to play again after the greens come in.

My guess is someone made a horrible mistake and chemically burned them. Course claimed frost but I dont by that. I live in the area and all our other courses are fine.

I picked this course because it looked beautiful online and it was. I would say the greens were in bad shape but calling them "green" would be misleading. They are mostly devoid of grass and have some sort of green chemical on them. I'll be washing all of my clubs as soon as I get home. If the greens weren't such a disappointment i would be giving it four stars and highly recommending it to others. Our twosome finished in just under three hours.

At the time of playing this course. The greens are in such terrible shape the course should not even be open. Putting is not really even possible. the greens have the texture of golf ball actually, all full of dimples and not much turf to speak of. I am not a great golfer but feel cheated that was not able to use my putter. We just decided to get on the green and add strokes and not waste time trying.

This title is not hyperbole. There is NOTHING WORSE then paying a good deal of money, $75 in this case, and having the greens be UNPLAYABLE. The worst part is the Starter, the Golf Shop Folks, literally no one gave anyone playing a head's up. The season pass holders at the course advised us to complain, saying "Yep, there are absolutely horrible" as we made the turn, but who wants to deal with that? Every single green was horribly diseased and covered with with sand/fertilizer. Shame on this course for not communicating to golfers and charging such an obscene price for a terrible experience.

Greens were very bad on the front 9 and OK on back, but other than that great layout and golf course. Staff was very friendly and good amenities.

The course itself is very nice minus the sand covering the greens. I didn’t know if I was supposed to take the greens after putting but I probably should have. Wasn’t made aware of this even when I called the course prior to my reservation. Normally nice staff. Today was different. Got completely ignored by the staff at the grille just trying to get a couple of drinks before my round. When I finally was noticed, all I got was an attitude. Maybe if I was a retiree making cat calls I could’ve got there attention. Disappointed to say the least.

I'd held off on playing at Grey Rock for a while because I heard it wasn't worth the increase in price v. the other munis (Kizer/Clay/Mo Willy) but I finally made it out for the first time a couple weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised/impressed with the quality of the course, practice facilities, etc. Now for the 'but' ... I loved playing the course the first time BUT I went and played last night, paid ~$40 for a 9 hole round, and at no point in time did anyone mention that they had punched/sanded the greens to the point that I was essentially putting on a shuffleboard surface. I've never complained about course conditions before, but this is where I draw the line in terms of course management etiquette. I get that it's a necessary thing to do, but you better either adjust your price accordingly or AT MINIMUM tell people! Also, if you have to hit off the mats on the range, you might as well hit off concrete. The grass is great on the range but the mats are worse than other courses. All in all, if you're planning on playing, just call ahead and confirm the course isn't going to throw you a curveball.

Played Sunday. Hoped for an enjoyable round. Rain made things difficult and the range and practice areas were shut down. Course has some interesting holes, but my goodness were the greens shameful. Most were 60-70% bare. Where grass was intact, it was fuzzy and slow. Of course no one told us this.
