| Clubs of Lakeway, The - Live Oak Course -- A "Narrow" View of Live Oak |
| Review by: Mike Williams |
This was my first experience with golf at Lakeway. The scenery is lovely and the course attendants were friendly and courteous. While waiting for my group in the parking lot, 3 different employees stopped by to see if I needed a cart or anything else. While waiting (still!) in the snack bar, the course marshall stopped by, introduced himself and (again) asked if there was anything I needed. Very impressive customer service.
Regarding the course itself: this is one meticulously maintained track. Fairways and grounds bordering the greens are plush and provide great lies. The greens themselves were in very good shape; they were challenging but fair. Take this either positively or negatively, but there are no sand bunkers on the course. Odd, eh?
A few holes are "wide open," a la links-style, but most fairways are tight, and bordered by some very unforgiving 200 year old oak trees. A walk in the woods may be a great way to unwind for some, but I can't recommend it on this course.
My only gripe is the somewhat claustraphobic feel of the homes bordering a few of the holes. I fully recognize the economics that lead to that kind of course design...it just happens to irritate me a bit.
Overall, a tremendously enjoyable experience. Highly recommend Live Oak @ Lakeway. |
