Narrow Fairways and Lighthing Fast Greens, Jun 30, 2005

reviewer: Dub from Newtown, CT USA

Rock Ridge CC golf course is not to be underestimated. While yardage on the card appears short, you better bring an accurate game. Narrow fairways and postage stamp size green's requiring a high ball to hold them are the two distinguishing characteristics of this course. The course is meticulously maintained, and the PGA professional and his staff are excellent. Clearly, a diamond in the rough.

A Great 9 Holer, Dec 21, 2004

reviewer: J. Conroy from Ridgefield, CT

For the average golfer, this course offers a great variety of challenging holes, that you get to try twice. The new clubhouse is spectacular... I would recommend it to anyone that lives in the area.

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.

Desert Aire Golf Course
"good course for beginners"
Desert Aire is a good course for beginners to play because it is flat and doesn't offer too much in the way of hazzards to get in the way of an enjoyable round. They also have good deals for junior players.

"great for the novice"
I think this is a great course for beginners. Its inexpensive and forgiving in a lot of areas. No water hazards mean you won't lose a lot of balls. All and all a good course to practice on or to enjoy with a friend.
