8.6/ 10
The short version
I did not expect pine trees and 200 feet of elevation an hour east of Austin, and Wolfdancer gave me both. The front nine along the ridge is the postcard, but the river-bottom holes coming home are where I actually made my score.
How it played
Wind up on the ridge does more than the yardage book admits. I played 6-iron from 150 twice on the same hole in the same round. Greens ran medium-quick and true, and the run-offs are fair rather than cruel.
How it looks
Loblolly pines up top, hardwood bottomland below, and enough elevation change that you can see three holes at once from the 4th tee.
What won me over
- genuine elevation change you never get this side of Austin
- greens hold a well-struck mid-iron even in August
- tee sheet is rarely jammed on weekday mornings
Good to know before you buy
- the walk between a few holes is long enough that a cart is basically mandatory
- conditioning on the bottomland holes gets soggy after rain
My verdict
8.6/10. If you're staying in Austin and want one round with real terrain, drive the 40 minutes.
