    Review by DrDipsomania in course Arroyo Chamisos DGC

    3.50 star(s) Juniper Laden Desert Golf Wonderful scenery. Multiple tee pads (most have 3 different levels: Pro, Amateur/Mid-Level, and Recreational) and multiple pin locations. All the Pro tees are either concrete slabs or off of the concrete/pavement bike path, the Amateur and Recreational are a...

    Review by DrDipsomania in course Wildlife West Nature Park

    0.50 star(s) Amateur and Pro length tee boxes on almost every hole with signs that indicate distance. Scenic. Moderately challenging. Wide open; due to to its location, I'd doubt that anyone (unless there are local players, and one would assume there would be, or else the course wouldn't be here in the...

    Review by DrDipsomania in course Brushy Creek Sports Park DGC

    3.00 star(s) Darkwoods Technically precise short course. Despite a lack of signs, pins are marked, all the baskets are in great condition (they are, after all, pretty new), and the fairway is made abundantly clear by the bright wood chips laid down leading from tee box to pin. The tee boxes are... present...

    Review by DrDipsomania in course Brushy Creek MUD DGC

    3.00 star(s) Solid design with wide tee shot variety, both in dog legs and distance. A few tight lines through the cedars, a few open shots across some fields, and a few blind shots. Great opportunities for aces/birdies. Nothing super-long for players with shorter arms. Fast playing and usually not too...

    Review by DrDipsomania in course MetCenter DGC - Old Layout

    3.50 star(s) Mudcenter 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...

    Review by DrDipsomania in course Austin Ridge Bible Church

    3.50 star(s) Beautiful & Brutal Very well designed. Huge shot variety. Massive elevation change. Beautiful scenery. Super tight lines on about half of the holes, which makes for some great flight path viewing (if you can make the shot). Well marked with beautifully detailed signs. Easy to navigate...

    Review by DrDipsomania in course Circle C Metro Park @ Slaughter Creek

    4.50 star(s) Fantastic Super well-marked with beautifully detailed signs. Concrete tee pads for both amateur and pro level tees. Very fluid layout, making for a decent amount of exercise to go with your golfing. Fair amount of elevation change. Shot variety galore - despite what is ostensibly a very...

    Review by DrDipsomania in course Pease Park

    3.50 star(s) Challenging, But Reasonably So Well marked with great signs showing all distances to variable pin locations. Wide variety of holes: short to long, dog legs in each direction, tight lines through trees to wide open fields. Uses the natural terrain of the land very well. Plays around Shoal...

    Review by DrDipsomania in course Zilker Park

    2.50 star(s) Short, But Usually Not So Quick Can be super fast to play if there aren't a lot of other people out. Straight-forward, with no super-long holes if you've got shorter arms. Great course to work on mid to long range putting/approach shots for the more experienced players, in addition to the...

    Review by DrDipsomania in course Brent Baca Memorial

    3.00 star(s) Semi-Deserted Desert Perhaps biased by the deficiencies of the other courses in the area, I found this course to be very enjoyable. Moderately challenging, the real fun in this course is in its variety. The openness of the terrain and the large circular tee pads are conducive not only to long...

    Review by DrDipsomania in course Ladera

    1.00 star(s) Dull & Dusty Very few things are positive about this course. It does offer a slight variety of shots, but without many natural obstacles, most of these are created by arbitrary mandatory shots (two around 1" metal poles that are not flagged). Some long distance driving opportunities are...

    Review by DrDipsomania in course Canyon Park

    1.00 star(s) Super Simple, Super Easy Good confidence booster. Aces & birdies galore. Course plays in less than 20 minutes. It's better to have 9 baskets out there to offer some recreational activity than just another drainage ditch running through a subdivision. Like the title says: simple and easy. Not...
