Favorite course in Abilene

I travel to Abilene for work pretty consistently and I always make sure to play a round here. Conditions are always very good. And no issue with pace of play ever.

Live Oak in July

The course was in great condition except for a couple of greens. They had just aerated the tee boxes and some of them still had the cores laying on them. The golf now available tee times are only at 11:00 am so it was getting pretty hot before we got our 18 holes in. Beverage cart made it by 4 times while we were playing so plenty of refreshments. Overall it was a great round of golf on super plush fairways.

Really nice course and well maintained

The course is great, well maintained, perfect grass and really enjoyable holes to play. The area is very nice.

The only thing it made me not to enjoy was a slow and non-respectful group of players I had ahead, nothing to complain to the course management.

Awesome public course

This is my 6th round this year playing the course. Excellent value whether with Military Tee Times or not. New owners are doing many improvements on the course. Only draw back, is those that play don't repair the divots on the greens. Would have received a hire course rating.

Nice course and with the "Hot Deal" tee time it is worth every penny. The new owner/ owners have done a really nice job replacing the worn out bridges and the course in in really good shape.
