Kissing Tree Golf Club

Second time playing this course. First time 18 months ago. Second time conditions were not up to price point. Practice facilities are excellent. Front nine is average? Back nine is a great layout!! Too many choices in the area for the conditions around the green to be like they are.....again. Looks like a nice

retirement community. All facilities around the golf course look top notch. Customer service doesn’t

look to be too worried about outside play.

I’ve played kissing tree probably 20 times and have always loved the course and the layout. However, after yesterday, I was very disappointed.

Me and 3 friends wanted to go out and play. We brought our girlfriends with us. Upon arrival I was told that the course did not allow riders at all. I figured the guy who was bringing the carts up didn’t know what he was talking about because the weather was kind of crummy and there was no one there. I went to the pro shop and asked if it would be ok that the girls rode with us and got the same answer. Absolutely not. As a matter of fact, I was told that in front of me there were 3 guys playing and 1 of their girlfriends was with them. They already had to take 2 carts. In order for the 1 guys girlfriend to ride with him, he had to pay a green fee for her and rent her clubs. She wasn’t even getting out of the cart but the guy had to pay $150 just for her to be there.

I completely understand not allowing riders if it requires extra carts and the course is busy. Especially since the carts at Kissing Tree are falling apart. It makes sense, more so on the weekend because they only have a certain amount of carts and if they start giving extra carts out, they can easily run out. But when there are 2 groups on the course and no one else is coming, I don’t see the problem. The thing that blows my mind is that they were perfectly fine with us having 4 carts if we were willing to pay a green fee for the girls and renting them clubs. So an 8some on a hole is ok, but god forbid you have 4 players in 4 separate carts so our girlfriends can ride around and enjoy the day with us. I hope things change because it really is a great golf course and it’s usually in great shape.

I have played there in the past and has been in great condition but this time every Green had at least 40 or more David marks that were not fixed which really made parts not roll true at all. I have played there at least four other times and usually in great condition. The fairways were being over seeded which I understand those have not grown out yet. But just was very disappointed with the greens.

I played this course on Saturday and I was extremely disappointed. For a course that charges nearly $100 dollars, there was construction throughout the course on fairways that was not mentioned and the upkeep around the greens was lousy. Bunkers had not been raked overnight and even had piles of sand/mud in them. I would not choose to come back here for my money.

Great course!! Love it!! Feels like a 5star resort course !

Visiting Austin, I wanted an off the beaten path course. This was it! Everything others said, very nice course in very good condition (sand was terrific) and great staff.

I thoroughly enjoyed my round in spite of the rain in the last 2 hours.

Overall good course. Good layout and good condition.

I had read that the staff was very unfriendly. Completely false. Everyone I encountered was very nice and helpful. True Texas hospitality at one of the best courses I’ve ever played. Loved the layout and the course is in amazing shape. I put a lower star rating on value for money just because golf is expensive!

These greens were tricky and tough to read but isn’t that part of the fun?!? I’d go play there every other round if I lived closer. Go play now before it’s 136 degrees!!

Just go play before it closes off and becomes all private. Course is beautiful. Elevation changes. Enough length with the over seeded rye grass. Greens looked good. Had a few rough spots but didn’t hurt play. Tees were excellent. Course is a must play. Community looks like somewhere I would retire to. Love it!

Course in outstanding shape, fairways perfect and greens magnificently tricky, highly recommended!!

Way too difficult to find your balls just off the fairway. The roughs are treacherous. Not fun for an average Senior. And that’s their market. I’ll never return.
