This is a course where young golfers can learn how to play. It consists of four 3-par holes of varying lengths. The green fee is only three dollars and permits golfers to play the four holes as many times as they want on that day--it is a bargain. The tee boxes and fairways are in great condition, better than on some 18-hole municipal courses in the area. The grass on the greens is healthy, but is too long since it isn't mowed enough. The main other shortfall, besides the greens not being mowed enough, is that two of the holes are really too short at under 100 yards and one is a bit long at around 200 yards. Despite the few negatives, I think it's the best place for a beginning golfer to get started in Austin, Texas.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
