Grey Rock Golf Club

First of all, I love the track. Few holes are just straight forward and each hole has a unique challenge whether it's long, short, left, or right. The service staff is very friendly and the cart service is always exceptional. Only a few things concerned me with my last visit. First was the horrendous condition of the greens. I understand aerification is important, but I didn't understand the 4-5 foot sand patches all over several greens. Also, any time there are weeds growing on the greens of a course this caliber it's disappointing. Next, we were behind several groups of four on the standard 4:10 pace and no golfer should have a problem with this on a busy day. So when I get hit onto while on the green 2 separate times, please kick the foursome in jeans and tee-shirts off the course. But apparently several complaints to the marshal isn't enough to get the situation handled. If you want the best muni golf in Austin, go to Roy Kizer. It has smooth greens, challenging play, and good people.

Greens were top dressed which detracted from the course. Fairways in good shape although starting to dry out. Snakes were out, though, so balls amidst trees were left to rot. Overall made me more conscious of what can be found even for a course with few water hazards.

Played Grey Rock for the first time. When arriving the first area you walk past is the putting green. It looks Ok from a distance but dropping balls down it is clear the greens are ruff. It is early in the growing season so they may come back. On the course they are playable but overall not real good. The course design is done well and a real pleasure to feel like you are out in the country even though you are in Austin proper. I would definitely go back but would need to be assured the greens were in much better shape.

I was disappointed in the condition of the course. The greens were horrible on the front nine, but a little better on the back nine. All in all not a good value for the money they are asking.

I had high hopes for the course since I just moved close to it, but for the price I expected much more. The greens were half sand and patchy all over the place. It felt like I was playing more of a $20 course compared to the $70 charged for the round. The carts are old, and mine barely made it 9 before dying. The course has the potential to be something nice with the layout and landscape surrounding it, but maintenance is definitely lacking. Hoping it improves as time goes on. I will give it another shot in a few months.

We played on Sunday before the superbowl, weather was overcast no rain course was a little wet. Greens are is great shape for this time of the year they were smooth. There was one par 3 that had some damage on the greens but other than that they are really good for this time of year. Definitely will be back soon.

Course is tight and places a premium on straight shots. Course seems to play longer than the yardage. Enough bunkers and trees to challenge misdirected shots but not overly punishing. The course condition was good considering it is middle of winter and the greens rolled well.

I really enjoyed playing Grey Rock. The fairways are lush and the greens couldn't have been greener. The layout is challenging but not overly difficult if you have an errant shot occasionally. We played from the blue tees as a threesome with handicaps of ~10 and it felt like a good balance of length and difficulty. A couple of drivable par 4's (9 and 15) made for a fun day. I would certainly recommend this track to anyone looking for an enjoyable round without paying an arm and a leg.

We were in Austin for Thanksgiving and played Grey Rock on a whim. I will make this my "go-to" for the Southwest Austin area. It was really scenic and had a great vibe from the clubhouse and amenities, and throughout the course. The course was in great shape and challenging. Don't miss it!

I had very enjoyable round. Despite recent wet whether course held up well. Track is interesting and not overly difficult so gives a chance to score low if striking well. Staff were friendly and pace of play good despite being mainly 4-balls out on course. Would recommend if looking to play in Austin area.

It was a prefect day for golf, a day that matched the course. I thought the course very difficult, pin placement was a large part of that. The greens are very challenging. The tees, fairways and greens were all immaculate.

This is definitely a course to visit again.

The course is in the best condition i've seen. My only wish is for better and more distance markers.

It was good. Great value for price. Course in great shape. Pace of play average, but felt slow.

I played Grey Rock for the first time on 07/24/2016. The course was in great condition considering the normal Texas heat we have been experiencing. With that being said, the only issue my group had with Grey Rock was the lukewarm water in the coolers positioned throughout the course. Coolers with ice would be welcomed since there was no beverage cart during our play on the weekend. I look forward to playing Grey Rock in the future!

One of the top courses I've played in Austin. Great course with fantastic off course amenities. Loved it

I had been wanting to play this course ever since it was announced that the city bought it to replace Lions. Unfortunately it is much more expensive to play than Lions, I did get a good deal off of GolfNow though but I would not pay full price to play here but it is much better than Lions. Course was in great shape and fun to play. My only negative experience was the starter who proceeded to chew me out because my buddy was late and we started about 5 minutes past our tee time. Also, we only saw the drink cart once but the rest of the staff was really friendly and the 19th hole is great with several beers on tap!

Played Grey Rock early on a Saturday morning. The pace of place was slower than I prefer- 4:30-4:45 for 18 holes.

The good- one of the few courses where hitting the fairway was a benefit. The rough was a 1/2-3/4 shot penalty, as it should be. Also, the traps had sand. A rarity on most public courses.

The bad- the greens were poor. Green speed was slow with several having significant areas with little or no grass. Shots into the green wouldn't hold. Never saw a pitch mark.

At the price being charged to play there, course conditioning was not where it needs to be. I won't be playing this course again.

I love this course...Having said that, The greens and in very bad shape. It is impossible to put. Number 8 green is all sand. Its time to close that green and grow some grass.
