SURPRISINGLY attractive course just off 290 in Manor. You can see a couple holes from the highway, but if you think that means you've seen it, think again. It'll challenge you, but your good shots will be rewarded like few others in the Austin area -- best fairways I think I've ever seen. Greens were a little sandy, but they still held the ball on quality shots.

The website here says CLOSED, but it has since REOPENED. There's a bit of an issue with the shape of the course, having been closed for a number of months, but not much of one--the fairways have a way to go yet, but the greens are in good shape. The biggest problem with this course, upon reconsideration, is the punitive front nine. This contains several holes I did not get to play in my first review seen below. While the back nine is a definite challenge, it is at least a fair measure of where your game is at any particular point. The front nine seems built in some places to reject shots--even decent ones. Nobody wants that.
