    Review by gamblor01 in course Searight Park

    4.00 star(s) Great course but typically crowded Course has some great variety and doesn't over emphasize long drives. There are several holes that bend left or right, and you often have to think about how to place your shot (sometimes throwing over/around trees might be better than throwing a dart). Getting...

    Review by gamblor01 in course Zilker Park

    3.50 star(s) Short course but I love it Zilker is a great place to bring beginners as there are very few long holes. Many birdie opportunities if you can accurately throw 250-300ft drives, especially on the front 9. The course is generally very forgiving, allowing you to recover from a bad drive with a...

Hole 1 is quite possibly the most challenging first...

    What are the benefits of a runup?

    Review by gamblor01 in course The Ponds @ Lakeshore - Old Layout

    2.50 star(s) It's OK - The Throw shop had a great array of discs and very reasonably priced beverages and snacks. - There is very little variety in the landscape but the designer did throw in some creative elements, like placing baskets under and around/between trees. Given the landscape I would say they...
