-Rubber tee pads were fine. A couple were slightly uneven, but still easily usable. I could see a problem if they got wet though.

-There were some fun downhill shots, but nothing too crazy. There was about an equal number of uphill shots as downhill.

- All of the cedar trees have been cleared out so the rough is quite manageable.

-Good variety of shots and distances.

-New Latitude 64 baskets that caught amazingly- probably the best baskets I've ever had the pleasure to throw at.

-Only $3.25 to play this private course, which seems like an odd number, but I'm not complaining.

- All of the trees out here are smaller live oaks. I prefer more mature trees, which create better obstacles both width-wise and vertically. As long as I didn't get tucked up close to a tree I could shoot over the top of the trees on almost every hole.

-There's not really a signature hole or anything too memorable. Most of the holes sort-of bled together. I think this had to do with the fact there's no mature trees out here. Everything just looked the same, i.e. arid, rocky, hill country. There was a sense of repetitiveness and lack of truly unique holes.

-There were random temporary (mobile) buildings and a junk pile of washing machines, refrigerators, etc. that came into play on 3 or 4 of the holes. I didn't land in it, but with a slightly errant shot it's definitely possible.

-On hole 18, there was an expensive 5th wheel travel trailer just off of the fairway. There was heavy wind when I played and I landed off to the right of the fairway and directly behind this travel trailer. The path to the basket went right through the middle of it. I could have tried to go over it, but I didn't want to accidentally damage it. I had to pitch out for a 150' shot instead of going for a 300-400' shot towards the basket.

-Most of the holes have a singular defined route. I prefer the Houck style of multiple routes/fairways that is prevalent in central Texas courses.

I'm not sure why all the trees out here are so small. It not only affects disc golf play in a negative manner, but it also reduces the ambiance and nature appeal of the course and reduces the amount of shade.

If I lived in Dripping Springs I'd love to have this as my local course, but even coming from Austin I would not consider this a destination course. There's many courses within Austin or in the surrounding area that I'd rather play.

Dreamland is a large private recreational complex with many attractions. It seems like they had some extra land so they put a disc golf course on it. Compared to the rest of the complex, it seems like disc golf was an after thought.

Many forms of non-disc golf entertainment on the premises: pickleball, mini golf, kiddie water park, cornhole, a stage for live music, food and refreshments. This is definitely a great place to come throw discs while other family members entertain themselves, if that's how you roll (I say this as a previous that-way-roller).

Nice, new Latitude 64 Pro Elite baskets. They are yellow, very visible, and seem to catch well.

Good signage with descriptive depictions of each hole and what appear to be accurate distances.

Navigation is mostly intuitive and there are numerous "next tee" signs in places where it isn't.

Elevation is used well and in a variety of ways, with uphill, downhill, and sidehill experiences offered. Rock ledges and stacked rocks also add to the challenge and visual appeal, in places.

There are some fun holes that require two-shot planning, with left and right turns and with plays up onto plateaus or approaches to side-hill pin positions. I enjoyed those very much.

The property is enjoyable to be on, it's rocky hill country terrain with some nice hilltop views and a fair amount of shade, though the trees are mostly relatively small oaks.

There are abundant deer and some cattle on the property, which I consider to be a "pro" because I like to experience nature, but they drop their little "cons" all over the course, including tees and green areas, so watch your step!

The tee pads are rubber mats assembled from multiple strips of rubber, set on top of a gravel base. I assume they were originally level, but few of them are currently level. The multiple strips could be helpful for maintenance, but many of the tees have one or two of the 8 or so strips that are lower or higher than the others. Watch your footing on the tees!

There are several holes that have backstops of stacked wood close behind the baskets. They look cool, but they help negate the challenge that could be offered by the upshot on the hole and I consider that to be a con.

It may get cleaned up later, but today there were several places with a lot of old junk in the fairways. One spot had rusty metal, some old shipping pallets, pipes, plywood... everything including the (commercial) kitchen sink. Another spot had an old shed (with doors open, ready to receive a disc) and an old boat, perhaps abandoned by Gilligan and The Skipper after they got off the island.

There are a few areas where an errant drive could easily hit players on another hole. It would be easy to flip a drive from hole 3's tee onto hole 5's tee. The assigned walking path from the basket of 7 to the tee of 8 takes players through the putting circle of hole 9's basket and hole 9 is a 340' downhill shot. It would be easy for players teeing off on 9 to hit walkers between 7 and 8, get into the circle of hole 7, or hit the tee area of hole 10. (There are other examples that would involve discs being more off line.) Watch for other players before you throw!

There are a fair number of holes where the obvious shot is to throw over the top of the trees. This is not what I prefer. I don't know if this was intentional on the part of the designer(s) or not.

For more experienced players, there are a lot of "tweener" holes that will involve a full drive and then a pitch-up. In some cases, that second shot will require some shot-shaping, though it will be a short shot.

The course seems to be designed to challenge rec and intermediate players. Though it doesn't really affect course play, the signs definitely have par set for the rec or intermediate level. One example is hole 5, which is 555 feet and a two-shot hole, for me. I missed a putt for eagle and dropped in for a birdie. If a guy NAMED "Eagle" showed up, he would probably be dropping in for an albatross. I think setting the par that way may actually be helpful for newer players who have only played simple courses and here they can learn to play multi-shot holes with some challenging lines and not get too discouraged as they make the transition to more difficult courses. This amusement park-type place is likely to draw a lot of players of that type. (The course par is set at 67, per the tee signs.)

There is a statement that reads "No outside food or drink" printed on the disc golf course map. I had my water with me and there are always snacks in my bag - I didn't turn around and take those things back to my car when I saw the sign. I didn't pull out any snacks while I was out there in deference to the course owners, but I drank my water to help them avoid the problem of an old guy collapsing on their property on a hot day. On hole 9's tee, there was a Yeti cooler with cans of water for disc golfers.

The cost is $3 per player, which I think is absolutely reasonable. They charge to rent discs, so they are counting on patrons who come for the other activities trying disc golf and renting the discs. Also, note the hours. They open at 7 on weekends, but not until 9 M-F.

This was a fun course to play and it's a good place to enjoy some bonus activities for yourself or your companions. The course has some interesting topography and offers a chance to use a lot of different shots. The course itself, on its own merits, I would rate 3.5, but the associated amenities push it up to 4. Dreamland has potential for a fun day for family and friends. It's worth a visit.
