I’m not one for bad reviews but it seems like they’ve given up on this course.

Played on a hot, windy day. Recent reviews noted that the greens were not pristine, and that’s what we found. Staff said they had a freeze last winter. Hopefully, the greens will come back more, because the overall layout is pretty good.

Staff is friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was good. They have a drive-through snack bar at the turn. Course has a grass driving range and an unspectacular short game practice area.

Pace of play was around 4:45 because we waited on the group ahead of us on every hole. Marshall might have been able to a little more to speed them up.

Front nine is pretty open and mostly flat. Back nine is very different. It has more elevation change with some narrower fairways.

If they can get the greens back, it will be a much better experience.

Since having 2 separate knee replacement surgeries in 2024, this has been my most frequented course. I suppose the short distance white tees favor my golf rehab with new legs. Unfortunately, this last round was a bit disappointing. The greens were a bit fuzzy and the grass on the tee boxes was longer than usual. Maybe the maintenance was late due to recent rains, so grace given. Back to the greens ... several have some bad spots where the grass has gone, making puts very unpredictable. Also you can see some weeds present in the grain of the greens. I hope this gets rectified. I like playing this course. Joe, the starter, is a great human being!!!

4 holes on side of canyons just kill a solid round and it is very depressing

I will avoid course for better options.

Greens are in awful condition, not at all worth the price they are currently charging. Crazy paying 90$ to put on some Blackhawk grade greens.

Really enjoyed how stunning this course is. Very scenic. The conditions were pretty bad but I think there’s a water issue. I’d definitely play again just for the views

Never have I felt like my money was stolen but to charge even $80 for a course that greens haven’t been tended to, fringe is over grown, fairway is basically the rough. This isn’t just a waste of money it’s a waste of your life as the course is so bad rounds take 5 hours because even if you hit well it’s still lost in the fairway on majority of holes.

If you stop playing they will lose money and will have to address the course.

overall good experience. the greens were not up to par but they gave me a reduced rate and a free bucket of balls because in their words "greens are not up to our expectations"..... everything else was great. Good course layout with tough holes combined with risk reward shots.

I’ve been playing here for many many years, I even remember when they lost the greens back in like 2010 or so. And right now the greens are absolutely despicable. They should be basically giving away rounds of golf right now with as bad as these greens are. Clearly, you can tell that they are trying to fix them, but these are the worst greens I’ve seen in my entire 25 years of playing golf. Avoid at all cost right now until they get these greens repaired.

We were warned that the greens were being worked on so we expected that. We were not warned that there were 100 high schoolers doing a practice round for a tournament on Monday. Pace of play was very slow, 5 hours total and we seemed to be the only adults in any group 4 ahead or behind us. The course layout was fun and I would consider trying it again, but it would have been nice to know that we would be backed up 2 groups on every tee box.

I really like the course but the greens are currently in rough shape. Other courses in the area have lots of grass on the greens. I was told by the shop that they don’t over seed in the winter and the weather has not been good yet for the type of grass on the greens and it will take a couple weeks of good weather to get them grown in.

For $65, it’s not worth it. The tee boxes have not been mowed and are worse than hitting out of the rough. The greens are mainly sand. The fairways are a mix of some grass, and lots of dirt and junk. The conditions of this course are just terrible. Very sad to see what this course has become.

I love this course. Difficult, narrow, challenging. When it’s in good condition it’s one of the better public courses in greater Austin. The greens, however, were in the worst shape I’ve ever seen. Honestly really disappointed. Couldn’t read them reasonably with the dirt patches and clover, bumps of foreign grass could take your ball offline on any given hole. Pace of play was good but they had one too many Marshalls on course (their words not mine) that just was a bit uncomfortable considering we finished the round in 4 hours flat.
