Rating 72.2

This is a 36-hole city-owned operation that features one of Austin's best muni tracks, the Roy Kizer Golf Course, which complements the 1970s Jimmy Clay layout.

Austin's old water treatment facility was transformed by Randy Russell, who had more than 80 acres of lakes and marshland at his disposal when he laid out the 200-acre site. Russell's links-style design is flat, burdened by the wind, and loaded with bunkers. The toughest par is No. 11, which rolls 468 yards into the wind and is shamefully listed as a par 4. Take your bogey on No. 11.

Complete mess

The carts don't have windshields. An old lady screams tee times through a loudspeaker at tee box 1, in my backswing twice. Course was mud. Drunk frat boys blaring music and throwing beer cans. I will never go back to this course. I left before the second hole.

What’s up with the greens

The greens used to be beautiful here. They were bumpy, shaggy. Everything else was good. I know it’s December, but should have been better.

The course is in really good shape for a public course.

Our group was first out after a frost delay, so I'm not sure about the normal pace of play, but the group behind us fell two holes back, so a nudge from the marshal would have been appropriate. The fairways and greens were in very good condition. The course is a links style course with a lot of room for wayward shots. Bunkers were deep so avoid them. There's are many holes with water, but a decent shot can avoid it. It's a little pricey for a Muni, but that's the way it is in Austin. I'll definitely play this course again.

Course is in great shape but the greens need a little more grass on them. They were a little slow but they rolled true.

Not ready to share cart!

Course is in fantastic condition, was informed it's half cart and would share or pay 15 for my own, I paid, only to find out the fourth member was walking and booked that way, the staff should have known this when I arrived...
