-makes good use of the creek and elevation
-terrain makes for fun holes that challenge the rec to intermediate player in distance control and hitting lines
-new concrete pads, detailed signage
-discatchers in good condition
-tape on basket spokes help with navigation
-the creek is not too deep to retrieve discs
-plenty of parking, lots of amenities at the Y

-definitely leans on shorter hyzer shots, requires accuracy but not line shaping
-the back nine is an out and back layout that gets repetitive
-the final few holes on the way back play parallel to holes 9-11, not as close together as i expected but errant drives could find their way into other fairways
-one instance where the taped basket spoke pointed the wrong direction to the next tee but it was obvious where the tee was
-if you really shank a hyzer on 9-13 you could end up through the rough, over a fence, and in the creek
-the baseball diamond is in play on hole 17, easy to hyzer over the fence
-a bit of a walk from 15 to 16 and from 18 to the parking lot

This course is much improved over the conditions described by the early reviewers. New concrete tee pads and detailed signage make navigation a breeze, which seemed to be the main complaint.

It's a perfect rec course for an area like Burnet. The holes are mostly on the shorter side and required hitting gaps but you can throw a hyzer on nearly every hole. The creek adds some pucker factor on a handful of holes and the elevation is well-utilized to create some really fun and scoreable holes for the red to white level player.

The first 8 holes stand out from the rest of the course. They play around and across the creek and feature 90% of the elevation changes on the course, from slight undulations on the first handful to the more significant up and down on 6-8. The latter part of the course plays out and back through a narrow strip of land that is flat and a bit more wooded than the front. Holes 9-13 get very repetitive, 14-15 feature a nice break through a lightly-wooded meadow with an elevation drop, and then 16-18 are longer holes that get you back toward the parking lot.

This course is fun for the less experienced amateur and now has the amenities it needs to really appeal to that crowd. The ratings have seen a spike since the new tees and signs went in but I would not say that this is a really good course. It is good but it has its limitations and an experienced player should be able to shred here. It's absolutely worth playing when you're in or near Burnet but I wouldn't say it's worth the 1.5 hour round trip from I-35 just to play here. That said, it's a great stop on the way to Lake Buchanan or Inks Lake. Course baggers can make it part of a loop from Flat Creek and Westside in Marble Falls.


**Like this review? Hate it? Message me and let me know why! I want to make them better!**

Tee signs on all the holes
Cement Tee Pads on all the holes
Flow is pretty basic, other than finding hole 5, the rest of the course was easy to find
GREAT use of the elevation and creek.

Long walk between a few of the holes, specially basket 18 back to the parking lot to hole 1.
Course was nicely maintained, with the exception of the 2 farthest away holes 14/15.
Several of the holes seem to be repeditive, that is why the 3 over a 3.5.

This is actually a decent course in a small town with little to work with.

Hole 1 starts off behind the YMCA by the large parking lot and pavilion. You have 4 run of the mill holes between the road, railroad tracks with a creek between them.

Then over to hole 5 that is across the road. This was the only spot I had to actually look for the next tee. Nice right to left shot down the creek to the basket.

Then a fun shot hole 6, although a short hole, you can't see the basket from the tee, you want your shot to be under the tree, throw past the basket and your in the creek.

Fun uphill shot #7.

Then probably the signature hole for this course, nice shot from the top of the hill down to the basket across the creek and to the left of the fairway. There are other good/better holes on this course, but this was the most scenic and fun to play.

Then you get bored for a bit, The next 5 holes are along the creek, some have mando's keeping you out of 16's fairway and #13 has a double mando for a short hole.

Then 14 and 15 are across the creek, basically the same right to left shot you just had on the last 5 or so holes. Long walk to 16's tee pad for a very long hole down the dirt road with a mondo keeping you out of 11's fairway.

17 was also an interesting shot, mostly open with the ball fields to the left with the basket down in the trees, blind shot off the tee.

18 was a longer hole across a small field to the basket in the trees near the creek.

Then a long walk back to the parking lot.

Again, this is a small town course, all the holes pretty much follow the Hamilton Creek. It is pretty and as long as you like throwing hyzers, it is a fun course to play.

Would I play here again?

This is a tough one, while as a hole the course is decent, it is rather repetitive hyzer hyzer hyzer shots. But it does play along a creek with large tree's. I always enjoy courses like this. I would play this one over the other 9 hole course in town. But I am not driving out of the way to play here again.

Sweet course that uses what elevation is there to the fullest. There are many different shots here ranging from the big boomers to the short technical shots but not to technical Many different skill levels will enjoy this course. You will have to have a mix in your bag to score well. The baskets are in good condition and the pads are ok as well. There is never anyone here or at least I have never see anyone. I never never seen it real overgrown at all which is nice. The creek brings in the challenge of OB without losing your plastic.There are many things for the fmily to do in the park if they arent into playing DG.

Navigation might be an issue but its not near as bad as I have seen at other places. The crossing of 14 and 15 doesnt seem to be as big as an issue as everyone seems to make it beause there is never anyone out here. Bring your beverages because it can get hot because there isnt alot of shade!

Its right off of 29 which makes it an easy stop if your traveling from Georetown to Llano. This course is underated compared to what it used to be. I think the redesign made it alot better and you should stop by and check it out.

The course is actually now 18 holes (although you would never know it unless you play with a local). It has diverse terrain with just about every type of tee shot. It's got your left benders, right benders, up-hillers, down-hillers, a creek that runs through it, shots through narrow openings in the woods, and shots in open fields. The only thing it doesn't have is a long hole. All of the holes are par-able and most birdie-able, but I wouldn't call it an easy course-- more of an intermediate course.

Very little traffic means never having to wait.

The tees are not marked! At all! Anywhere! Ahhhh! I was playing with my nephew and we were totally lost just making up our own tees after we'd find a basket. Luckily, before we got too far along a local disc golfer showed up and we started over playing from the correct tees, which seemed to me to just be random spots on the ground because the course is not played enough to wear-down the grass to make discernible tee boxes.

The local I was playing with told me they had plans to put in tee boxes in the near future, and really, that's the only thing this course lacks. Can't wait to play it again.

Edit (4-9-09): After playing this course a few more times I have come to the realization that this is more of a pitch and putt course. I drive with either my putter or mid-range on all but 3 holes. It is fairly easy but still offers some challenge because of the creek, trees and the OB areas. I've uploaded a course map with the new design, but the baskets are still marked with the old layout numbers so some of them won't match the course map.

Edit (4-1-10): The course has been slightly redesigned (again).

Changes include:

-Previous 150' filler Hole no. 2 is now a good bit over 300' slightly uphill with a couple of different lines you can hit, but both the straight and anny lines are challenging.

-Hole 3 is a new short anny shot of about 200' and plays from the previous Hole 4's teebox.

-Hole 4 is now a bit easier and shorter. It's also slightly downhill instead of being slightly uphill like it previously was.

-The short uphill Hole 7's teebox has been moved to a more challenging location behind a tree instead out in the open.

-Hole 10's teebox has been moved over about ten feet, creating more tree obstacles to get around.

-Hole 11 now has straight and narrow tunnel path or a long round-about hyzer.

-Hole 12 is completely new, although similar to 10 and 11-- all 3 being around 300' hyzer shots through woods.

-Previous holes 13 and 14 have been combined to form the only par 4 out here-- a long straight hole with OB that runs parallel to fairway about ten feet to the left.

-Hole 18's box has been moved closer to the water's edge so it's a bit more of a (risky) anhyzer shot or you can shoot a (very risky) hyzer over the creek.

-Teeboxes are now clearly marked with blue tassels in the ground and some teeboxes are now gravel instead of natural dirt.

-Mandos have been added for safety reasons, but it also ups the difficulty.

-Overall, the difficulty has been increased by a noticeable amount, and the course is better off for it. Combined with the improved teeboxes this bumps the course up to a solid 3...almost a 3.5.
