Cement tee pads, many holes with 2 sets
Tee signs with map and distance
A little bit of elevation on a few holes
creek comes into play on several holes
several 2/3 drive holes.

mostly open with a few good holes with good fairways
VERY muddy around the pond, it is a long walk around if you don't want to get mud on your shoes

I played the championship tees for this review.

Hole one is pretty tight, not really a good fairway, it is not really very fairway. More like a throw and hope you don't hit a tree into the creek shot. The hole is long enough that most players can't get a 2 anyways so your goal is to punch though to get an upshot.

Hole 2, long and boring, there is some elevation from the flood control pond and the basket is on the top of the levee.

Hole 3, a birdie shot, just don't overthrow the basket or your in the pond dropping in for a 3.

Hole 4 is a long throw along the creek, you want to set yourself up for a turnover upshot. Don't be right.

Hole 5, short little birdie shot, don't be left, creek and across is OB.

Hole 6 Walk back past where you just tee'd from to hole 6. This one is a decent toss, enough tree's to make it interesting.

Hole 7 is uphill with a couple of tree's to make it interesting.

Hole 8 is a boring turnover shot

These next couple of holes you need to pay attention to where the holes are, it is kind of jumbled up here.

Hole 9 past a few tree's, just your run of the mill hole

Hole 10 Crazy, just crazy. 1000ft hole Just stay to the left, but not over the creek OB. Maybe top pro's like 1000 ft holes, I see so reason for them, they are usually boring. That is exactly what this hole was. three 340 drives and a putt.

Hole 11 When you have to put in a mando, the hole is not designed very well. The mando forces you to throw down the creek. Still a two shot hole.

Hole 12 a basic air it out hyzer shot, not much in the way of that line.

Hole 13 Another designed 2 shot hole. get past the first set of tree's and don't fall off in the creek and you will be fine.

Hole 14 Just a hyzer birdie hole

Hole 15 another hole trying to get you to throw into the pond.

Hole 16 is a fun little turnover shot, don't let your disc fall off ob left.

Hole 17 They make across the creek OB because that area is open. This makes the fairway tight. Placement on this hole is important.

Hole 18 might be the best hole on the course. There is a tight short line down the creek or the big hyzer boom into the opening of the tree's. Either shot you want to be out in the open or your looking at a tough up shot.

In general, I found this course boring. In most areas this would be a decent course, but for Austin with so many great courses, this is not one of the better ones. Just a long boring course.

Would I play here again.

No, I have played it, not interested in playing it again. I will play Roy G, Circle C or Austin Bible over this course in a heartbeat. I just did not have fun at this course.

Good mix of wooded holes, especially holes 1 and 18 to start and end your round.
Signage is good and the tee pads are ample allowing for a proper run up.
2 sets of tees on most holes allowing for a nice change of pace and a different challenge from each pad.
Good mix of short, moderate, and longer holes. Water threat is present as well. There is a creek that snakes its way thru this course and some baskets are close to the creek which will add to the challenge.
There also is a pond around hole 3 and 15. Going for the ace run will add to the pucker factor as well.
There are a couple of next tee signs here and there to keep you going in the right direction.
Both dog leg left and right shots are accounted for and there are a few aceable holes too. Longer holes to air out drives are also present too.

There are a few areas in which you will have to do some backtracking or some long walking to get from a basket to the next tee. Hole 16's basket to 17's tee comes to mind. Hole 1's basket to 2's tee as well.
The area that is east of the pond is super sloppy after a hard rain and getting through this area can be slick. There are some boards and stones to assist you so that helps some.
Hole 4's basket is super close to the creek so a shot that is just a tiny bit off could be wet. I don't think the creek is so deep that you can't get your disc back but moving the basket to the right a bit might allow for a bit more fairway. I know its risk reward but some players might find it discouraging.

This is a nice park style course that has some good challenging lines. The creek that comes into play will keep you on your toes and test your accuracy. There are a few shorter holes here to give you the chance to run some holes but those short holes are balanced out with some long bomber holes. I like that fact that there are 2 sets of pads some players of varying skill sets will have the opportunity to enjoy themselves. This course doesn't have much elevation to it and its not as wooded as Roy G Guerrero. Its a nice compliment to Roy G IMO and a good place to hone in on your skills. This course does have a good variety and is still a solid play. Hit up the Met if you like a good park style course.

(3.287 Rating) Among a class of great courses on metro Austin's south side.
- CHALLENGING - The Met Center is one of the more challenging courses in the entire Austin metro area. It will definitely challenge your game as the course is a good mix of both power and finesse holes.
- UNIQUENESS - Although a flat course, the overall uniqueness is way above your average 18 hole course. There are a bunch of 4's and a par 5. Several holes have a creek element in play as well as a pond. Doglegs holes occur in both directions. In addition, there are some pocket shots, and windows shots. Really the only thing that is missing is a very well defined tunnel play. I'll also add, there is really no "signature" hole on this course just a bunch of "very good" categorized holes.
- SHOT SELECTION - I probably played half and half flick to backhand. 60% of your drives will have to be well thought out and placed. While the other 40% will have to be bombed down the fairway. The course however doesn't fair well for overhead shot players as 70% of the drives will need to be kept low.
- CHARACTER - There is a great course map right at hole 1. And there are very well artistically illustrated and fairly accurate hole signage throughout the course. Most of the tees are shaded well and there are two tees pads at most holes for ams and pros. Unfortunately no seating, no picnic tables, no extra pin placements, and no practice basket.
- TEE PADS - Concrete pads are of adequate length and width. Nothing special but it does the job.
- NAVIGATION - I didn't find any major issues. We took a picture of the map at hole 1. If you take a picture, you'll have no issues on your first time threw.
- SPACING - Above average, Perhaps there are but just a couple times that a disc can fade into another fairway.

- ELEVATION - A surprising lack of Elevation on this course. Its flat as a pancake. Probably varies by no more than 20' on the entire course and no hole varies by more than 10'. definitely subpar among the Austin area courses. I will add however that the course does work it in where is was available. A mound around a retention pond is used well on two holes.
- TIME PLAY - Course is not a quick play, a group of 4 should plan to be here at least 3 hours to complete 18 holes.
- SKILL LEVEL FRIENDLY - This really is not a beginners course, even from the am pads. although the odds of losing a disc is below average, the course requires the skills of a seasoned player to not come away felling defeated.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - Definitely not the most scenic course on the south side. Probably about average when comparing all courses in general however. I will note, that I have heard that the course was once much more vegetative and vibrant before 2012 and before the 3 year drought.
- MAINTENANCE - I played a charity event here, so the grass was cut just a few days prior. This said, numerous friends of mine have commented to me the lack maintenance this course gets. Often this can be due to the flood plain ground conditions and not being able to mow. The course seems to always be overgrown in the rainy season. Please be sure to check course conditions from a good source before heading out to avoid the risk of unplayable conditions.

A great course for those living within 15-20 miles. Definitely worth a look see if you are from out of town and have already hit Circle C and Roy G. If you live in Austin metro, be sure to play this course at least once.

MetCenter is a course that will challenge you in every way. The course sits on a huge piece of land with ample room to have some longer holes. There are shorter holes that you have to finesse or be prepared to lose your disc to the water behind a few baskets. There is a little elevation on the course, and it is utilized very well especially the small hill that comes into play on Holes 15 and 4.

Like most Houck designed courses, this course has fair lines on all of the holes. The course is moderately wooded on some holes, and there are lines and fair landing zones on the par 4s and par 5s.

Also, being a Houck designed course, the course has ample tee pads, great tee signs and good catching DisCatchers. There are two sets of tees on a few holes, some of the shorter ones just have one, but the shorter tees give a newer player a chance to enjoy himself, as the longer tees can be unfriendly with mandos and harder lines to hit (Hole 1 long).

Hole 18 was a great finishing hole; it definitely was my favorite hole on the course. Not a super hard par 4, but a few errant shots and your score could be hit hard.

The course feels a little repetitive. I only played the course two weeks ago, and it is hard to piece together what hole is what hole and not just a mesh.

I felt a few of the holes were long just for the sake of having a long hole. Standing on Tee #10, the longest hole on the course, you are about a hundred feet from basket 11. You throw 1000' down a strip of land and come back the exact way you came. That hole could have been 200-300' less, but I get that the chance to play a 1000' hole is pretty rare.

The navigation can be a bit tricky but there are signs that point to the next tee. Without them, it would be very challenging to find your way around.

I had no expectations on Metcenter, and I left feeling "meh." There were no holes that I felt were phenomenal, and most of the type of holes you could find at other places. It was nothing special, but I would play it regularly if this was the closest course to my house, because it is not terrible, there are just better options in the Austin area.

- This course wasn't afraid to stretch its legs. I like courses that "let the big dog eat" from the tee box (i.e. the 1000'+ Hole 10, 1 of 8 holes that are over 500' long when playing the blue tees).
- Along with the driver-friendly holes are technical holes throughout the course that utilize trees, water, and elevation changes.
- Any course that has established Alt Tees is a plus in my book.

-This was a year ago but some of the outlying areas of the course were under construction and affected the quality of play at the time. If that has since changed then consider this con null and void.
- It's the nature of the beast, but some of the more wooded areas were quite muddy. Old pair of shoes takes care of that though.

I played this course while visiting a friend in ATX. It's the only course I've played in Austin but if it's any indicator to the quality of courses out there, then I'm impressed and should make the trip over more often.

Good mix of long and short holes on this course. Good pin placement throughout. Excellent technical holes. Especially on holes 1, 4, 5. 6, 10, 12, 17, and 18 which has a good number of trees in the fairway and good interaction with the creek that runs through this course.

I have played this course both with and without water in the creek. When there is water present, plan on losing at least one disc. (Hence the Steeplechase in the title.) No Restrooms, few trashcans, and some high weeds can make for a tough disc golf experience.

This course just happens to be close to where I work, so it is a favorite of mine. Sure, it is tough, but for me, beats some of the other tough courses in Austin. At least I can play this one and have a chance at par on some holes.

Really good design
Good signs and tee pads
Easy to navigate
Good for both pros and ams

A little flat and repetitive

I don't think there's anything outstanding about this course, but there's nothing wrong with it either. I think there are a couple really good golf holes, and it makes good use of the creek and ponds. I think it's definitely worth playing if you're in the area.

Advice - park a little further down, start on hole 2, and then finish on hole 1!

And remember to check out the sign as you pull in, "Trespassers will be violated"

Beautiful signage. Great use of land that otherwise would be lying idle. Decent shot variety and elevation change. Nice pace between long & short holes; shorter holes on either end of the longer ones so your arm won't tire too easily. Concrete tee boxes for both amateur and pro lengths. Different tees offer more than just a variation in distance, they offer a considerably different line as well. Great baskets, all readily visible and at the proper height. Moderately to slightly difficult, but plenty of shorter holes offer birdie/ace opportunities. Plentiful out of bounds areas require a fair amount of technical precision. Trees in the fairways (most of the trees out here are fairly young) are used very strategically with the design, not just as arbitrary objects. Probably the least trafficked course in the Austin metropolitan area.

Presumably the gap of land between the office park and the government/military installation was open and unused because it couldn't be built on. Probably because it's like a giant runoff/drainage ditch. Wet and muddy, even days after rain. As a result, the tee boxes, despite being concrete, are usually pretty caked with mud and dirt. Not exactly the most fluid design; some confusion in where to go after a couple of holes, as multiple tee boxes are visible from the end of the previous hole. To alleviate some of this confusion, there are a few signs between a few holes that indicate which way to fork to proceed to the next hole. Not exactly interesting; none of the holes are memorable or super unique, probably due to the fact that the land the course is on is in itself not very scenic. The out of bounds areas are marked on the signs, but it takes a bit of guesswork to actually say if you're off course when you get to your disc; additionally, some of the OBs do seem a tad on the harsh side, but that's not necessarily a huge negative. Lack of trash cans. Fortunately, there's not a lot of trash out there - but I would presume it's only because the course isn't that well trafficked (yet).

If I worked in the office building the course shares a parking lot with I'd be taking extended lunch breaks every day.

This is one of those courses you have to play alot and learn well to achieve and finish with a respectable score. Must play safe and not go for the gusto on several holes is one key. All the holes are well thought out and the course has a good flow from start to finish. Just landing in the fairway isn't good enough to maintain par you have to land in the right spots to avoid troublesome upshots and putts. At first glance the course will decieve you since there is no underbrush, but the trees are thick enough you won't have a clear shot if your not in a landing zone.

need benches and trashcans. Remove some mandos because the course is already a butt kicker. Wait about 3 days after a rain before playing, water pools in lots of places, the creek is up and the gound is just to muddy. Unless you want to drag around an extra 10 lbs on each foot for this long course.

Heard many good things about this course, but as far as new courses in Austin....I'm not a big fan of this one. Super Hard and water is brutal (very frustrating). That said, there are some pros...
Nice boxes (good length and concrete) and nice signs with good info. Nice baskets. Good lines on many holes, good variety of shots have to be used. Shot (200' ) and long (1000') holes throughout, But over all a loooong course to play. Not too far from central Austin.

This is not one you're gonna get in at lunch... 2 hours plus to play. Many of the holes throw back on each other since the layout of the course kinda throws all the way down one side and then back up the other way. Some of the holes tee boxes are in direct line of previous hole's box (waiting for a headache!) Lots of water and mud. VERY WINDY every time I've played... not much growth to break the wind. NO TRASH CANS! What happen to Don't Mess With Texas!? No benches... and this course seems to have large groups playing often. Tons of prickly patches. Need to label all pins with hole # (easier to navigate).

I will play this course again, but only when I don't plan on having fun.
