Fun course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 19, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Interesting layout. Good shot selection. Lots of narrow tree lined fairways. Quick and easy play.

Cons:

Tee boxes need to be cemented. Needs signage, new players will find it difficult to navigate without a little work or help from a local. A lot of pot smoking on this course.

Other Thoughts:

I really like this course. It's not as brutal as Circle C, but not so easy that you can just swing away. there are some holes that can be exploited with the tomahawk, but if it gets too easy just force yourself to dig a little deeper in to the shot bag.

Like I said above this course gets alot of traffic and I usually run into at least one group that is smoking pot on the course, so if you are with the kids or this just bothers you be prepared when you play Searight.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 2, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

There are a couple of fun elevation drop shots but overall nothing to write home about.

Cons:

Not much thought in the design. Most fairways are just straight cuts through dense cedar. The cedar trees make for a very frustrating round if you try to hit the tunnels and then fade or skip under a cedar tree. The locals all seem to have mastered the over the top type of throws because the cedar trees are short. Dirt hole tee pads are an Austin standard. No signs make it difficult to follow the figure 8 design the first time you play. It will help if you look at the large map at tee #1 before you begin.

Other Thoughts:

When I finished hole 18 I was happy to be done. I don't reccommend driving out of your way to play this course.
