Cannot Beat Harvey Penick for the Price

This course was so good for the value. People at the desk are super nice. Fun lay out and nice greens. For the price, this place cannot be beat.

Great job of keeping the course in good condition!

They've done a great job keeping this course in great condition. Greens are much better than most, if not all, public courses in Austin. Keep it up!

Harvey Penick GC/First Tee Austin

We played 11 holes. Course condition is much better than last year. Greens in good shape, but a bit slow. Nice practice range. Staff is friendly and helpful. Great value to walk for $15

Unorganized

I booked a tee time with a cart only to find no carts were available. They did offer us push carts but no refund for the carts booked through Golf Pass.

Will not return to Harvey Penick due also to the poor conditions of the course.

Awesome staff and well maintained course

I spontaneously booked a trip from Houston, making a reservation to play this course based on its reviews. Upon arriving, I discovered I reserved for the wrong day, but the staff was accommodating, allowing me to enjoy their well-maintained course. The greens and fairways were excellent, reflecting the staff's dedication to upkeep. The pace of play was impressive.

In addition, witnessing the youth in their first tee program added to the overall positive experience. I'll certainly book this course again when I'm in Austin.

Thanks- Johnny Palmer

Harvey Penick on a Friday mid morning

The course is really shaping up for spring. The fairways are lush and green. The greens are a little slow and fuzzy, but that’s to be expected when they’re try to grow them in slowly for the hot summer. The pace of play was excellent, no one in front or back of me. I walked with my pull cart 9- holes in 1hr 15 minutes. A vey nice day on the course.

Good for new golfers

Really friendly staff. Play at your own pace. My wife is a new golfer and she liked that she didn’t feel pushed and pressured. I am not new at the game. Course not in great shape but it wasn’t expensive so I was happy for my wife.
