Service Lacking For A Golf Resort Course

Played Wolfdancer on a recent Saturday afternoon. Since our family was staying at the resort and my son wanted to come with me, I asked before arriving if it was OK to have my son ride along with me. I was told "Sure, bring him with you, no problem. When I went to the cart area I was told that there were no extra carts available even though I saw over 50 carts sitting in an area right next to us. Three people sharing a cart on a course this hilly was quite an uncomfortable experience to say the least.
The course was challenging, somewhat scenic, but did not have any views or holes that were memorable. The course did not seem to be in top notch condition, especially for a resort course. For $99, you would be better off going to another top notch course where you undoubtedly would have a nicer experience than at Wolfdancer.

This justed to be a pristine coarse, who left in grounds keeping?

I play this coarse from time to time as the views are spectacular and it has always been maintained excellently. I have not been her in 6 months and to my surprise it is falling apart. I choose a bad day as they had just sanded the greens and putting was imposable but it was the bunkers that are useless and falling apart. There was water in most but even in dry ones they were hard as a rock and sides starting to fall over.. The view is worth the big bucks but don't expect a fun coarse to play on.

On behalf of me and my staff, I sincerely apologize for your bad experience. I do not wish to make excuses but we received 3/4" of hard, fast rain late Sunday afternoon. Because the verticut was scheduled for Monday morning with normal play beginning at 11:00AM, we did not have the resources to give the bunkers the attention they needed. On top of that, the rough was shaggy from not having been cut since the previous Thursday and there was still a lot of material on the fairways from their verticut as well. We strive to provide the best course conditions possible and on this day we did not meet that. Please feel free to email me at john.crall@hyatt.com as I would love to have you back out to play a round with me personally so that I may show you the true Wolfdancer experience.
Sincerely,
John C. Crall

Very Challenging Golf Course

This is a long course, full of hills and great scenic views. Tip: keep the ball on fairway or you'll have a lot of penalty shots. It is a very challenging course. My only complain is that the GPS on my cart did not work and that was a little frustrating and had to keep looking at my friends cart in every shot.

The rough is the main defense of this course.

This course has a decent layout, not exactly scenic in my opinion. Hazards are well placed and the layout has playing options. The real defense on this course is the rough. The first cut is about 3 inches and is catchy and gnarled like johnson grass. The second cut is flat out wild grass that is 8-12 inches and just finding the ball, let alone getting a club on it is the task. It was a worthy play, but for it's price, I will take other courses in the area that are just better.

Awesome golf course

Really great time. This is one of those courses every golfer should play at least once. Wonderful amenities, course is in great shape, greens were fast and true. Very challenging course so pick an appropriate tee box for your level of play.

Beautiful course on a beautiful day

Played at 9 am on a Saturday at half price with my dad. We were not paired up with anyone so got to ride by ourselves. No one pushing us from behind and no running into anyone in front of us. Great breakfast tacos at the starters shack and turn, free range balls included. Not an easy course for the faint of heart. Greens are super fast with some tough pin placements. Plenty of sand to be found, the occasional water hazard, and unforgiving rough.

Potentially the best non private course in Austin

Wolfdancer is a tremendous place to golf. The drive in through the woods is beautiful and certainly makes you feel like you are getting away from it all. The club house and grill are immaculate and amazing. High end clothing and a restaurant style grill make for a warm greeting. The practice facility is absolutely amazing, with music being pumped in through speakers to lighten the mood before the round. The starter house has drinks and food as well in case you didn't grab anything at the clubhouse. First hole is a challenging par 4 with a huge green so make sure you have the right club or you will be looking at a long putt. The course itself is a blend of links style golf and some tree lined holes. It is beautiful and secluded. You wont have houses on any side of you. There are a few drivable par 4's at the blue tee's that definitely provide risk reward. # 12 is called Top of the World and aptly so. A tremendous view overlooking the resort to a 125 yard par 3 downhill. If you have the opportunity to play this course for a decent rate ( I got 45$ ) then it is absolutely worth the drive and more. Only issue with this course can be the price for the drive. But I jump at every chance I can get to play here if priced accordingly.

Great Day

Played as a single on a Tuesday afternoon and actually finished in under 3 Hours. Course was in great shape and the greens had just been cut, so they were fast, but not impossible. Rain the previous day had softened the greens enough where irons were holding (not necessarily the norm out here.) The views are great and the staff are incredibly friendly. They even let me head back out to the range for a few extra practice balls. Highly recommend this place, but must say, the discount rate is the only thing that makes playing here feasible for me.

Wolfdancer is a tough course. It doesn't let up.

Hitting into the greens is probably the hardest part about this course. Each green is surrounded by bunkers and you will be hard pressed to find a level spot once you are on the putting surface. Throw in a mix of water, terrain and pin placements, and you are challenged. These are just a few of your hazards after hitting what better be an accurate first shot off the tee in avoiding trees.

This course has at least four types of terrain to challenge you.

With all of the variations is terrain, i.e., rolling hills, woods, plains, greenside water carries, fairway bunkers and a split fairway on the par-5 finishing hole, I literally used every club in my bag with a 5 mph southerly wind. Pro style practise areas; excellent on-course restroom facilities; super efficient slow-play marshal and beverage cart service; and all of the staff - especially the cart service guys - all have that good old fashioned Southern hospitality.

Great course - very challenging - staff super friendly

I would gladly play this course again (with discount rate).
Challenging to work your game. Staff super freindly.
You don't even get out of your car before they are there to unload your clubs. Ditto for the exit, they are there to clean your clubs and load them in the car.

Challenging course

This course requires a great deal of decision making about club selection and shot placement. There are many deep traps that are strategically placed. Lots of elevation changes with good views. I recommend it highly to intermediate and advanced players.
