Great Shape, Friendly Staff

This course was in the best shape I have ever seen it. From the tee boxes, the fairways were lush, and the greens were smooth and true, and holding quite well for temps in the very high 90's. The staff is very friendly, and the value for the money is great. If I ever win the lottery, I will buy them new cart paths, as they are the only downfall. But I never judge a course on cart paths. Just drive your cart a little slower so you don't spill your beer. They obviously put their money in grass. Bravo!

The greens are very "true"

First time playing the golf course, my chiropractor told me about this course last year, and was thrilled with the experience. It's a bit of a drive from Bee Cave, but well worth the jaunt! While the course is not that difficult the greens make it quite challenging and "FUN" to play. We'll be back!

Holy granite we like this Hill Country course!

Play this course. Do it! Pretty much everything was very well kept and in great shape. For a course not in a big city, we were very impressed. Most courses require more play and funding to be this well kept.

The club house and grill were redone in the last year or so and are nicely done. Their grill smelled great but we already had lunch plans.

The driving range was a little more narrow than I'm used to but long enough to handle all of the clubs in your bag. They also have a second area at the opposite end to work on your chip/pitch game. The main practice green had a bit too much undulation but was otherwise in great shape. We also found a second smaller, flat practice green closer to the #10 tee box with a bunker in case you wanted to work on that part of your game.

The cart paths -- some concrete near tee boxes but mostly crushed gravel along the fairways. There are four tee boxes from which to choose. It's certainly not the longest course, but they put in a few twists and turns that'll help even things out.

The fairways were in spectacular shape. They are often lined with small to medium sized trees. There are a number of ponds on the property; you'll have to carry a couple of them. And there's a bunker or two on almost every hole -- some fairway, some greenside. As hard as it is for me to speak nicely of sand, it was at least good sand and the bunkers weren't too deep. The only other hazard you may find here and there are the granite rocks that make up this part of the country. In fact, take an extra minute on #6 to take in how they nestled this green up next to a huge granite mound. The greens all rolled very true and were in perfect shape. They were all good sized and had just enough undulation to keep them from being easy.

We will be back to play this course again!

Pair Up

I have only played this course twice. I paired but both times and each twosome who invited me to join were just the best gentlemen and I am sure we will be friends and golf buddies for a long time as I just moved to the area and need new ones.

Worth the drive!

I was told the super had done a great job of reviving this course and he has done a great job. Enjoyed the course so much we played it again... Greens were in great shape. The Rock outcroppings remind you of AZ courses.... Drive out and have fun!

Fun day

The day was beautiful, but windy. The course was fine everywhere, except the greens had just been sanded and were a mess. Putting was close to impossible. But I'd go again. It was a nice course. The hamburgers in the restaurant were awesome!

Nice little course

The course is in good condition in spite of very recent maintenance of the greens---long and slow. The course is short at about 6500 from the tips but some trouble to make you pay attention.

Fun place...

My wife and I were traveling and wanted a place to play while driving through the area. We were very pleasantly surprised to find a course as nice as this available on a nice spring Saturday. The price was right, and the course was great fun. The golf course is challenging from the back tees without being overpowering. Its not a long course, but there are several holes which feature forced lay-ups. Plus, it was fair and enjoyable from the ladies tees. The only negative ( and its a minor one) is that you really need some local knowledge to understand what is ahead of you on three or four holes. The diagrams on the scorecard are not detailed and, unless you have played here before, there are some surprises awaiting you when you arrive at your tee shot.
The course was in great shape and very well maintained. The staff was very accommodating and the clubhouse/pro-shop was clean and well stocked. All in all, a very good experience. Only one complaint. It would have been nice to know before we drove out that the greens were aerated and topped earlier in the week. Still, very glad we made the drive and we will be back.

This course has challenging features

We used to play this course regularly with coworkers several years ago. It was primitive then with many beautiful wild flowers and few houses. Today, there are many houses and not as pretty wild flowers as before. Some holes were changed and modified and it was difficult to find them in the midst of new roads and houses. Overall it was great for the price and we enjoyed playing it.
