Featured Golf Course Review:

Hillview Golf Course -- *Hillview Course*
Review by: Justin	This course has 18 holes that are all unlike each other. The course continually renovates one hole per year. There are some challenging par 5's, especially hole number 8. The fairways range from very narrow to very wide. The greens are in decent shape and run moderately.

Hillview Golf Course -- *Hillview Golf Course Review*
Review by: Dave Corbett	Hillview Golf Course is a nice place to play golf. If you are just an intermediate pace golfer, like myself, it offers many challenges and will improve your gave. Hillview is also a nice place for advance golfers, such as my brother, because it will cause you to thing about your game and make good swings. Hillview can be a good challenge from the back tees and has a decent lay out to it.

Pebble Creek Country Club
"Not exactly what you'd expect in Aggieland"
Nice layout. Much of central Texas doesn't have the same topography that an Austin or San Antonio can provide, but there were plenty of trees and some slight uphill/downhill despite a generally flat piece of ground. We happened to play on a day when the weather was poor. The wet conditions had us as the only players on the course. The price seemed at little steep as the lone players - $65.00 which included cart, but no range balls. The carts did have plex glass wind shields which was nice for the late fall and early winter. The course was over seeded, which made the fairways and greens very nice. The greens rolled true. There is a lot of water in play over the entire golf course. the design on several of the holes didn't seem like it fit a traditional risk/reward philosophy. For example on #1 and #10 (both par 5's), hitting a second shot over the water would still leave you 40 or 50 yards from the green, where as a 6-8iron lay-up would still leave a wedge. (Maybe Michelle or Tiger could get there?) Numbers #9 and #18 seemed to be the same type example. Water creeps out across the fairway on number 9 - driver is a risky play, but anything less and you've got a 200 yard-uphill approach or so. (I will say lack of roll in wet conditions would have just meant a lesser club off the tee because carrying the water with a driver wasn't an option) Much the same applies to number 18, although the approach was a few yards less. A lot of sand and a lot of water with some skinny necks in the dog legs on some holes is the reader's digest version. Shop staff was nice. Grill was available and had good selection.

"Location, location, location"
While certainly not a "nice" course, this is a playable little golf gem nestled in downtown Austin. Where else can you get in 9 holes during you lunch hour?

Piney Valley Golf Course
"Not too bad"
This golf course offers an exersise of the mental game and practice on accuracy. This course is one of the nicest in the area. The front nine offers chances to let loose and holes to decide what club to hit. The back nine is more flat yet a bit more difficult due to the mind set of trying to reach in two. This course is not a five because easyness and choices of veggitation and is not a four because of it being on a military base ( security check gates) however for someone who doesn't want to travel an hour or two away its nothing to complain about.

"Best Bargin Around"
Excellent course for the average golfer to play. The condition is average, but for the price and playability you just can't beat it.
