Austin Bible Ridge church course gets concrete tees!

The tee boxes really were the worst part about this course. Once they get some concrete in there I can see myself playing this course a lot more since that was really the only thing deterring me.

Give a tough job to the best in the business. Knowing John, he wouldn't remove any vegetation that didn't have to come out. I really like to play courses that he's designed.

Any workdays planned for this or what?

Any word on if the course is open? On the main DGCR page it says closed till 7/9/2012. Sounds awesome that they're planning on improving the course even beyond the concrete tees. I love playing this course and I'd love to see it fulfill its potential.

The rain has held up construction of tee pads, but several holes do now have long and short pads.

Subsequent improvements will include opening some new routes, widening a few fairways in key spots, and leveling key landing areas and greens. Slicemaster said it best...

This is one of my favorite courses. It looks like I will be making another trip to Austin soon. Thanks Mr. Houck.
