Signage is the best I've experienced ever, very easy to navigate.
Excellent tee pads, concrete with brick borders.
Tape on basket tines indicate direction to next tee.

Nothing comes to mind, though not particularly long, it worked well for not being a long thrower.

I'll definitely play again when in the Austin area.

- Tee signs are in excellent condition and show where to go for the next hole
- Concrete tee pads are in excellent condition
- Large rock slabs for sitting can be found at most tees
- A few holes play with elevation change, hole 6 being my favorite
- There's enough variety of open and tree-filled holes
- Hole distances are very beginner friendly
-- Easily the most beginner friendly course I've played
- Adequately shady for half the course

- The path from hole 4 to hole 5 is really confusing for a first timer
- Hole 9's basket is placed in a way that implies it's a practice basket
- Holes 7, 10, and 11 are pretty close to a road, with 7 being near a low traffic road and 10 & 11 being next to a high traffic frontage road
-- If you're not confident in your shot, I'd skip holes 10 and 11
- Lots of pedestrian traffic along the road to the course from park and pool goers
- You can sometimes run into park goers in the middle of some back nine holes

Zilker Park charges a parking fee of $5 per car from March to September on weekends and holidays. Some players will pay it forward and pass on their ticket to you if you're lucky.

Pokemon Go: there's one stop on the course, no gyms. The course is a high traffic area so you can find plenty of Pokemon spawns.

It's a birdie-fest, everything is right there in front of you. Great tee pads, we loved how y'all do it in Austin. So convenient to our Downtown hotel. Well maintained, mulch kept it dry.

Not really any long holes.

Played quick, good pace. Next tee pads not always easy to remember, were indicated on map. Fun, competitive little course. Tidy. We weren't exhausted afterward and still had energy to party and walk around downtown.

Beautiful course. The tee pads are great. Hole plaque on each hole, though #10 was covered by a bush. Enough trees for shade. For a beginner, most holes are short. No water holes, again for beginners. Fast course to play. Good course for beginners to start and get better. Enough of a challenge to be encouraged by a good shot, for a beginner.

For the more experienced, the course is short. No real obstacles to throw around. Did I mention the course is short? No holes to let loose a drive. The lack of distance can become boring.

There are signs to tell where everything is in the park, except the course. There is parking right by #1. The day we played it started raining by #4. We played on and had a blast. We are already planning a weekend to come back and play again. My wife was challenged. I thought the grounds were beautiful.

+ the entire course has been renovated to make defined fairways and elevation improvements that are eco-friendly for a very busy course
+ baskets are all brand new
+ distances are accurate
+ heavy duty tee boxes that give any style of thrower the room they need
+ tee signs and marker (including drop zones) are now installed

- none that can be noted at this time

The recent year long improvement and total renovation was on behalf of the Waterloo Disc Golf Club, Austin Parks and Rec Dept., Austin Watershed Protection, Disc Nation, Innova Disc Golf, Houck Design, Amazing Locksmith, Pro Serv, Austin Parks Foundation and great volunteers.

The course now has sustainability for many more years to come as it is a highly active course for all levels of players.
The kiosk will soon be getting a course map and rules/etiquette sign installed.

This course is always a gem to play because it caters to all skill levels. The front 9 holes tend to be shorter and the back 9 are longer with more challenges like mando & OB's.

If you are in Austin, this is a great casual course to experience that "Austin" feel with.

Zilker is a staple of Austin disc golf, filled everyone from first timer and 5-digit PDGA numbers (and the occasional 4). The course is short, but technical, especially with the change a few years ago to holes 3 and 4 which add a wooded section early in the round. If you're visiting Austin, Zilker is always worth a round. If you get there in the AM, a solo can play through 18 in about an hour
- Good course flow
- Generally easy to follow (needs 2 minor signage updates)
- Great shot variety for a shorter, more technical course
- Seating at every tee box

- One of the busiest courses around, especially on weekends.
- Lots of newer players in large groups (primarily on weekends)
- Needs some additional navigation signs/markers
- No water fountains

Updated my very old review from before the giant revamp a few years ago. Zilker is now my main course in rotation, about 2-3 times a week. Great for players in the 250-350 foot driving range. If you throw 400+ you might find it too easy. That being said, the shot variety is excellent, fun elevation changes and an overall clean design.

TIPS:
- The back 9 is across the street from hole 1/the parking lot
- Bring water, there are no fountains
- The tee pad by the basket for 2 that LOOKS like it should be for 3 is from the old layout. walk past the fenced in area and turn right for the path to 3.
- the safe route on hole 4 is the forehand line to the left, the hero route is backhand to the right (but the kick into the woods can be devastating)

-classic course that offers good shot variety and options
-great for beginners to learn on and great for pros to sure up and practice their game
-leagues and minis run 2x week nearly all yr
-excellent course for improving and developing your game

-removal of dead trees making course just a little easier, not really a big deal though, just a few key trees
-some conflicting tee boxes meaning you have an uphill shot and the box slants downhill or vise versa
-muddy after a rain in areas

fairly easy, but fun course, quick 18 holes mostly short but offers a few good 350+ holes, front 9 a little shorter and more open with the back being longer and offering a little tighter lines with more trees in play and a mando. awesome course for working on your game, ex. using putters and mids on the holes 250 and less with annies, hyzers, flat straight shots, etc. all good for accuracy and shot variety development=main reason i give it a 4 instead of a 3 or 3.5, really changed my game when i learned how to control putters and mids at 150-300 range at this course.

a very well and maintained course. The course has a good balance of lefts and rights.

Can get a little crowded on the weekends, but if you go during the day on a weekday, it is really nice!

This is the very first course I ever played, and got me into this wonderful sport! It holds a very dear place in my heart! lol I love this place and it is not too difficult for beginners yet is very fun for more advanced and skilled players. Definitely a great place to play in the Austin area.

This course is a fun course that takes a little more finesse to do really well. The course is a great outdoor course to play with good shade as you go along.

They are getting ready to do some demolition on majority of the course due to the Spanish Moss getting a little out of control. It is going to make the course in certain areas a lot easier.

This is a great course in the heart of down town Austin. Go out there on a weekend, play a round of disc golf and cool off in the springs. What more could you ask for from a course.
