Kissing Tree Golf Club

Fast greens, great layout, very well kept. Tee boxes were going under sprinkler repair, so we didn’t play 2 holes. I’m sure work we be done fast. My favorite course.

Course was in great condition, had great amenities and warm up areas, and was a really solid price.

At five (5) years old, it's still just an infant in golf course age. I purposely didn't play it in the first few years as I wanted a more 'built out' and complete course experience. I chose wisely. The course is looking really good right now. Yes, there's still a lot of housing construction going on and we'll soon see even more houses than we'd prefer. But that's all part of the master plan. This semi-private (Troon Golf managed) course has been cut through the hill country setting with great detail and care. And the community as a whole is very well planned out. I think I'm ready to retire here. :)

After stopping at the guard gate, you'll be directed to the golf pro shop for bag drop-off. While you can likely just park (as you might normally) to put on your shoes and get organized, it felt like this would not be preferred. Maybe that's just a feeling I got. My advice is to be prepared ahead of time accordingly. Anyway, they do not allow carts in the parking lot. So you either drop your bags or you're hoofing them up to the cart/shop area. Same goes for when you're done and it's time to go home.

You'll quickly realize that the electric carts are governed by GPS; they'll slow you down in certain areas (e.g. the clubhouse) and stop you from going off into the brush etc. The carts are certainly the best of all worlds. The only improvement might be AC for the hot months. Ha! Seriously, they have the newer style super padded seats that are so much more comfortable than the average cart. They also have large drink/cup holders, big/deep dash storage areas, USB ports, shelf trays up under the roof, ice chest, sand bottles, deep basket, club rain cover, soft/easy brakes, and (most importantly) touchscreen GPS screens which show (among other things) distances and other cart locations.

They have nice driving range, chipping, and putting areas. The Starter was very easy going and (as first time players) gave us the full run-down of the course layout and current rules. Some things to note are the bathroom near the practice area (by the starter) and a trailer bathroom on #14. I also noticed water jugs on various course holes. And the beverage cart saw us three (3) times. So all of that is just where/what it needs to be.

The tee boxes were in the best shape I've seen on any course. They'd rate right up there with some of the private country clubs I've played. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever.

The fairways were in fine shape, I regret that I left a few divots or scars that I shouldn't have; sorry. The rough consists of thicker/deeper Bermuda that transitions into hill country scrub brush/grass along with little white golf ball sized rocks, thorny bushes, and lots of cedar trees. And there were a number of holes with elevation changes as well as slope left/right. So that adds a slight but welcome challenge to one's game. Note, I didn't see a single yardage marker other than tee box signage. So you're relying solely on the GPS in your cart of your mobile golf app. As long as the technology is working, then you shouldn't have any problems. Everything worked perfectly for us.

The bunkers were of course in fine shape with the plenty of good sand. There wasn't a lot of water to contend with. It's present here and there but not really that much of a factor.

The greens were in fantastic shape. They are plentiful in size and all have some undulation and ridges. They were rolling faster than average today at an 11 (according to the Starter). One thing we found interesting is the pin location. So, if the tee markers are at the back of the overall tee box, then the flag will be red and in the front of the green. If the markers are in the middle, then the flag will be white and in the middle (left or right). And, as you've already guessed, if the markers are at the front of the tee box, then the blue flag will be in the back of the green. I thought that was quite a smart way of providing additional information to golfers.

As the community continues to build out, I'm sure the course will see additional (landscaping) improvements and tweaks. I certainly look forward to playing here again … and again.

Probably the best shape in the area. At Golf Now price’s it’s a bargain.

This is a great track and a lot of fun. Would recommend to anyone. It’s a bit on the pricy side but it is worth the play!

Troon course is fantastic

Very well kept

Will be happy to play again

Fairway yardage markers would be great - especially for a new course. The in-cart navigation was no help. A bit more signage getting between holes is also recommended, as it is quite a trek in some cases and there's a lot of construction and road crossings. Staff was ok although you did get a little bit of a second-class customer treatment as a non-member. Otherwise it's a beautiful course on gorgeous property.

Getting better every time I play KT

I’ve played there since opening day !

Troon is tops in my book

Consistently well kept even in these very dry and extremely hot days

Bravo. To them and their staff

Thanks

Awesome course! Great conditions for Texas summer and loved the layouts. Good staff, great amenities and vibe. Cant wait to play again!

Haven't played here in more than a year, due to a prior bad experience. New pro shop, new dining facility and a lot of work dealing with this crazy summer has kept the course in good shape, all things considered, and with significantly improved facilities. The staff was much more friendly than in the past--previously, got chewed out and removed from the premises for using the chipping green after my round last time. This is now a good value.

Friendly staff, great facilities, beautiful and very well maintained course.
