Pros:
New Tee signs on every hole (tee signs are on the short red holes on the original 9)
Cement tee boxes on every hole. Most of the original 9 have pro tee box too.
Great shots though the woods in the new 9 holes
Cons:
Not a good course to play if it is muddy or raining.
Other Thoughts:
One of the better small town courses I have played. The front side (holes 1 to 6, then 16 to 18) are the original holes designed by John Houck. Played by themselves, you have a relatively open long course when playing the longs.
There are several memorable holes in this section. Hole 1 has a HUGE tree that fell over many moons ago, but kept growing.
Hole 3 is a fun little shot over some small hills.
Hole 4 is a trip, basket is hidden behind a very large tree that is also blocking your shot. From up on one side of the creek down across the creek. Fun little hole from the short.
Hole 6 is also memorable, you tee off from a hill across the creek along the railroad bridge.
Next you follow the well marked signs over to the new holes on the other side of the tracks. Here you have several tunnel shots some long, some short along the railroad tracks.
Then a short walk over to a few holes coming back. Great use of the hills on some of these holes. There is a section that is listed as private land and you are suppose to follow the walking trail between two of these holes.
Longer walk to hole 15, crazy little left to right hole, down then up a small hill. I didn't see a good line.
In all, with the new 9 holes, I think this course is well balanced and fun to play. Sure there are a few longer walks between holes than I like, but they were not that bad compared to many courses I have played.
Would I play here again.
Actually, I think I will be playing her again. We want to visit Marble Falls again and do touristy stuff, I will have this course on my list of must plays. It is a fun course with a wide variety of shots.
