Tee it forward

We played from the white tees which looks a little short on the card but is plenty challenging for a bogey golfer. A couple of the par 5's are reachable in two for a 250 yard hitter. This course has always been in great shape for as long as I've played it (many years). The range and practice facility is above par as well.

I can't wait to play again

We really had a great day of golf. The course was in great condition. The staff was awesome. From Round Rock it was a lot closer then we thought it would be. We're going back.

102

This course is always in acceptable condition and this time was no different. The two of us played in three hours. At 102 degrees the sooner we finished the better. A big thanks to the Staff for making sure there was plenty of drinking water on the course. The greens were in good condition but had the biggest grain I've ever seen. We got on for $20. Well worth the cost and usually unheard of at this course.

Challenging but also user friendly.

Recent improvements to this course include clearing out the underbrush at the right side landing areas on all of the holes. The staff is super cordial and efficient with complementary cold water bottles greeting you in the parking lot, and the beverage cart girls handing out cold towels to combat the heat. I played late in the afternoon on Saturday & Sunday and finished in under three (3) hours on both days. Well worth the discount GolfNow.com weekend price.

Way Overpriced

Grey Rock has the reputation for being overpriced at the best of times. Based on the sub-par condition of the course - particularly the greens which were in terrible shape - it wasn't even close to being worth the discounted rate I paid on through Golfnow.

If you are in deep South Austin it is worth playing.

The layout is good but the fairways are a little dry. Of couse is has been over 100 degrees lately. The green need some work because they are bumpy and slow.

Disappointment

Before making this tee time, I called the pro shop and asked about the condition of the greens. The attendant said they were a "7 out of 10" and had a few brown spots but were rolling really well. This course is usually in great shape, but not yesterday. The greens were inconsistent, slow and bumpy. When I mentioned the pro shop attendant's comment, everyone in our group agreed he must have been referring to a different course, and that they are really more like a "3 out of 10." The normal weekend green fee is $99 dollars. Even though we got a slight discount through GolfNow, everyone felt cheated.

Great Course, Texas Greens

Overall, the course was great, but the greens could use a little more attention. It's Texas, so that is to be expected to an extent, but I have played other courses in the area for less $ and had a much better experience on the greens.

Poor Sand some bumpy greens

Don't hit it in the sand traps, they are all horrible. Not raked and the sand is like beach sand, too soft to hit out of. Some of the greens need to be sanded again after they arified, especially the edges of the greens, if they could put a little more attention to the greens and bunkers the track would be in excellent shape. Greens are really fast and firm

Great time

Grey Rock was a great course to play for a day. The greens were a little fast on some of the holes, but once you adjusted for them it was great. It would be great if we had more water b/c the few holes with water it is basically out of play, but it was still very fun. It's a little too pricey to play everyday, but it was fun for a special treat.

Surprisingly Nice

Nice course in good condition. Great range to warm up on and starters and rangers kept things ontime and moving. Played in four hours on a crowded Saturday. The greens roll really nice and are very firm.

Good layout amongst beautiful oaks.

$45 off of Golfnow which should be the very most ever paid to play here. Not sure what normal green fees are but more than $45 and you can find a better deal elsewhere. Great sand in the bunkers, fairways are playable but not great. Greens are slow but true. It's a nice parkland style course. Pro shop had some interesting golf things you normally wouldn't see which was cool. My only complain would have been the beverage girl. She was begging me to purchase beer at 9:30 in the morning. Cart path route is a little bizarre but it works. $45 course and nothing more.

Good Track - Poor Condition

I'd really like to give this place a 4-5 star rating, but the condition of the greens and pace of play just don't warrant that. This was the 5th time I've played Grey Rock. I really like the layout, it has a couple easy holes, some challenging ones, and you end up using a number of different shots and clubs.

The staff is very professional and friendly, although they should seriously consider a marshal or two roaming the course to help with pace of play. It took us 3:00 to play the first 11 holes, and then only 1:00 to play the last 7, once we finally got the foursome in front to let us play through. We didn't catch the group in front of them until 17 - and this was midday on a Thusday!

The greens were beat - at a time of year that most courses around here are in their best shape. I mean, these looked like an elephant wearing baseball cleats tap-danced on them. Really disappointing, and it doesn't look like they'll be coming back any time soon.

This was a great deal, wish they would post these type of deals at great courses more often. Too many course fees are too high for the average player.

Would definitely play this course again. More great courses should have great deals like this.

Still waiting for all 18.

Getting tied of playing 17 holes. Home of the 4 hour round? How long will it take when all 18 are open? It's a great course. Staff is friendly and helpful but I will not recommend until all renovations are completed. Also, I think the value is diminished when required to hit warm up balls off the matt.

Still the best value in Austin

Grey Rock remains my favorite daily fee course in Austin. Unfortunately I only got to play 17/18's of the course. Hole #2 is under construction. No mention at check in. No mention by the starter. Totally unacceptable. Also the greens were punched about a month ago and are still a bit sandy.

the course was was not in very good condition. Having played there in previous years, I was dispppointed with the conditions.

The course was not in ready for play conditions. It looked like that no watering had been done on the course.
the number 2 hole was closed as new sand traps were being added to the hole.
The tee boxes required extensive power to get the tee into the ground.

I would not play there again until after I had been to the course and seen what had occurred
