Beginner’s Course

This curse is wide open so very suitable for a beginner. The tee boxes could be a little more well kept but the fairways are pretty good and the greens are nice. Definitely a fun course to play 9 on.

Good

Exactly what you'd expect from a 9 hole course in Austin. For the price and location it isn't bad, but if you go a bit higher on expenses it would be worth it to go elsewhere.

1st tee of the 2021 season. Course was in good condition. Great for beginners to intermediate players. Pace was slow due to the beautiful weather. Will be returning since I am still beginner.

Open course

This course was very VERY open and flat. Not a bad thing for newer golfers but not much of a challenge for better golfers. Played with my wife who’s a beginner and had fun, but would only go back to play with her.

Greens keep it playable

Played for the first time yesterday. Im a scratch golfer who just moved to the area and was looking to get out of the apartment for a bit. I found this little 9 hole course outside of the city and walked 9. Tee boxes and fairways looked burned up from the start but I was shocked when I got on the green, they were surprisingly smooth, receptive, and were kept in great shape considering. I believe they were bent greens but I didn’t pay too much attention to it. Staff was super friendly and helpful. No practice putting green or driving range but have a small chipping area to warm up. I had the distance to drive maybe 3-4 holes but the greens are fairly small so it makes you be very accurate. Overall I had a good experience and would play again. Walked 9 in about an hour and 15 minutes.

Columbus park

This course is very straight forward, literally. There is one par five, and it is the only hole that isn’t completely straight. The course conditions are great, however pace is slow (2 hours for a single). Good place to go if you want to practice hitting the ball straight, haven’t played much, or are a beginner. Best hole is either 7 or 8 (both par 3s).

Poor fairways.

Fairways are not kept up with big dirt spots all across nearly every fairway. Tee boxes are rock solid and beat up.
