    Review by metis314159 in course Nottingham Park

    2.50 star(s) Decent course There are A & B tees which is nice and the course layout uses the available trees reasonably well. There are a couple of long, open holes, but most of the holes have a few trees that you have to account for. No real tee pads - you just throw from somewhere near the marker. The...

    Review by metis314159 in course BridgePoint Bible Church

    3.00 star(s) Good short course All of the holes have individual signs which show the hole "layout" and yardage. Most of the holes are tightly wooded and require you to find a line through the trees (which is definitely possible) and have good accuracy. However, even after a bad drive recovery for par is...

    Review by metis314159 in course Rivery Park

    4.00 star(s) Great, technical course The elevation changes (especially around the pins) on this course are the best in Austin in my opinion. Many of the holes were very memorable (maybe even "epic"), especially the middle holes which have (and use) large rock formations. Most of the holes have very tough...

    Review by metis314159 in course Terramont Park - Old Layout

    3.50 star(s) Fun, short course Excellent elevation change throughout the course as it is basically a course upon a GIANT hill. Most of the holes you are either throwing down the hill into a gap in the forest or out of the forest up the hill; though most are short holes. Their are 3 moderate length holes: #6...

    Review by metis314159 in course Steeplechase Park DGC

    3.00 star(s) 2 Concrete tees on each hole; however, they do have a drop-off at the front which can be a problem for a large follow through. Good markers at each tee giving the pin location (and the pins are labeled), distance, and par. The course uses the creek extensively on almost every hole and requires...

    Review by metis314159 in course Bartholomew Park

    2.50 star(s) If only it was maintained... Quite possibly the best use of elevation changes out of the Austin area courses. The creek that runs through the park must be thrown over or along on most of the holes. Good mix of hole distances; however, it could use one longer hole. Unfortunately several holes...

    Review by metis314159 in course Brushy Creek MUD DGC

    3.50 star(s) Excellent for beginner/intermediate players Great variety of shot selection required for the optimal approach. There are elevation changes on several holes, including several with drop-offs on one side of the disc catcher making putting & approach interesting. There are signs at each tee...

    Review by metis314159 in course Pease Park

    4.00 star(s) Concrete tee pads please!!! Excellent hole variety - long & short, open & densely wooded. In addition, the creek is in play on several holes and there is a decent amount of elevation change on several of the holes. Nice signs on every hole (except 13 which is missing) and fairly intuitive layout...

    Review by metis314159 in course Williamson County DGC

    3.50 star(s) Tough, well maintained course Nice, long cement pads - a rarity for Austin courses. Good mix of distances for the holes along with many holes requiring challenging shots through relatively dense woods. Several more open holes towards the end if woods aren't your thing. Virtually no elevation...

    Review by metis314159 in course Benbrook Park DGC

    2.50 star(s) Interesting holes, overgrown rough Several interesting holes where water came into play along with several moderately wooded holes. Like others have said, they keep the fairways mowed, but the rough grows several feet high and has many sticker-burr weeds in it. The tees are just dirt and...

    Review by metis314159 in course TC3 Panther Highlands - Old Layout

    4.00 star(s) Best course in the Ithaca area Well groomed and signage is okay, but not great. The course has decent elevation changes and most of the holes have their own unique feel (you are not just playing the same hole with different distances every time). Certain tees are bumpy, not flat. Rough/OB is...

    Review by metis314159 in course Belle Sherman

    2.50 star(s) It has promise... Good hole variety with 4 wooded holes and several mid-range to long holes (at least how we played them). Tees, if you can find them, are just flat ground. Their are virtually no markings to indicate where the proper tees are located. Several of the disc baskets are wobbly. If...
