Hidden gem

Greens were not typical for this course.. Hot Texas summer makes the conditions difficult to maintain

Course staff was exceptional. Great layout and always enjoyable to play

What has happened to the course?

Look I know that it's the summer time, but this course used to be in so much better shape. Some of the greens were pretty rough, not consistent, the tee boxes looked like poop. I've played in Bastrop for $20 before and most of that course was St. Augustine for the fringe around the greens. I knew what I was getting mself into there.

I did not expect to see that for a course that was $120 at 3:40pm. I would recommend to management to get more involved with the course, because I've played this course before and didn't mind paying that price, but right now is not the time to be really proud of the course. I will not be back again until the Spring and hope that the team can get the course back to its finer days.

First time at Wolfdancer

Unfortunately the greens were punched recently and were slow and bumpy. The bunkers were also in poor shape. Teeing areas grass was too long. I liked the course outside of the condition. Might be fun. Wasn’t worth the money.

Overpriced and under maintained greens and tee boxes

I really want to love Wolfdancer and there are certain aspects of it that I really like. The staff at the club house, drivers of the beverage cart, rangers, etc. are all extremely nice, top notch service. The course layout is extremely challenging and I love that there are no houses out on the course. You really feel away from it all when playing here aside from the last few holes on the course that put you near the resort guests and pool...no biggie.

But...my biggest issues with the course are the tee boxes which were not maintained...we were essentially teeing our balls up in the "rough" - that's how long the grass was. Also, the greens are not in acceptable shape EVER. They're ALWAYS punched and sandy. I've played this course 4 times this year (2022), once in May, once in June, and twice in August -- the greens are always in the same dilapidated conditions, punched and sandy. You never get true rolls.

I've held off on reviewing Wolfdancer until I played here multiple times because I really want to love it here...there's so much potential. It could be the nicest publically accessible course in Austin, but when you factor in the cost of the round, the undermaintained greens and tee boxes, and the gas that it takes to drive all the way out there...it's honestly not worth visiting.

I hope reviews like this will spark some attention and investment in what could be an amazing, top notch course.

Not on Par

Bunkers are in poor condition. Mostly dirt.

Green's were slow in recovery after over three plus weeks ago of aerification.

Tee boxes loaded with Crabgrass.

Just not the standard of a Hyatt course.

Not worth the money

Interesting course and definitely challenging, staff was very nice and accommodating (lavender scented damp towels were nice on a hot day!). However, poor grass, aerated greens, empty ball washers and poor tee boxes made this definitely not worth the $150 a round they are charging.

Great layout just needs to improve conditions

Wolfdancer is a beautiful course. It has a ton of potential but $100+ you would expect better conditions on the greens and around the course.

The greens were aerated recently so they will improve but multiple greens had significant dead spots and putts bounced all over the place.

Other courses around Austin are in better condition for less money.

Used to be much better

More than 5 horrible greens where you'd have to move your ball to putt a line without an old badly cut hole or sand traps and bumps in the middle of the green.

Probably more horrible tee boxes than good ones. Some tee boxes were worse than greenside bunkers, and the bunkers were very out of shape.

Used to love this course. A favorite to play. Probably won't go back for a year to see if it can figure itself out.

Play this course if you can find a great deal

This course was in amazing shape, firm greens so that ball will roll forever, fairways very well maintained. Will try to come back and play here

Wolfdancer

The staff at the course is fantastic! The starter gave out some tips before teeing off which was welcomed. Some of the tee boxes are in bad shape as well as some bunkers. The greens had a lot of sand on them as well as some significant dead areas. With that being said it's a nice course layout. Since it was my first time in the course the in cart gps was nice. Due to the current course conditions I don't think the price of the round is worth it.

Wolfdancer is currently making some new holes due to resort expanding our and taking current holes. Will play here again once new holes are completed.

Five Hours Thirty Minutes

Five hours and thirty minutes is how long it took to play a round of golf here. For the price they charge you would think they could afford to enforce pace of play or actually moderate tee times. They are also getting ready to remove two of the best holes on the course so they can expand the hotel here.

Too expensive for what you get

Purse layout is great. But at $168 a round after tax, the course is not nearly in good enough condition for the money.

Not Impressed

For the money, you would be happier with most muni’s. Greens are horribly dried out and fuzzy. Bunkers are super firm and filled with dime-sized pebbles. We absolutely wasted our money today.
