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.

Pros:

I really enjoyed Westside. Friendly locals to great signage. The first hole is about 30 yards from the parking lot by some enclosed fence. This is a 9 holer that has shorts and longs. The tee pads were in great condition and so were the tee signs. The tee signs were excellent they were typically Houck tee signs with an accurate map and distance. The DiSCatchers were in great shape.The course used all the elevation that was possible. There was a mix of short technical holes to a little bit of room to stretch arm. There was even a blind shot on hole 4.

Cons:

There really isnt too many cons except from tee pad to basket. What I mean is the crossing to progress throughout the hole such as Hole 5 was a little scary walking across the telephone pole. You are extremely high. Also, Hole 6, where you cross the wooden planks in the water are a little wobbly. And after hole 7 going to 8 to cross the creek you have to walk on rocks that are pretty spaced out. I had no problem but I imagine someone who is older may have trouble or someone who may have balance issues.

Other Thoughts:

This was an awesome course. The navigation was easy and some really exciting shots, I only played the shorts but I imagine playing both the shorts and longs would make the course a very good 18 holes.

Pros:

The design of the course is perfect for the land that was alloted. Has great holes that include some par fours. Great tee boxes for both red and blue along with detailed tee signs.

Cons:

IT'S ONLY 9 HOLES!!!!!!!!

Other Thoughts:

Drive out there... Grip and rip... Play both boxes.. Call it 18.... Awesome...
