Pros: Great course. It was well worth the trip and the money.
-The pro shop is right there when you check in, it's a good time to check out new discs. The woman running the store even let one of the members in my party try out the disc for a round to see if he liked the disc
-Used just about every throw in my arsenal
-Some beautiful holes, Really captures the spirit of the hill country.
-The hazards can be truly hazardous ie. cactus in the middle of the fairway adds that extra challenge
-Hole #7 is a great signature hole, even when the water is low it's just beautiful
-I love the fact that there are not just 1 but 2 700+ foot holes, you really get to open up in the back nine
-The staff was very friendly and helpful
Cons: -We had a difficult time finding the tees sometimes. A dirt patch with a piece of rope on the ground really wasn't what I was expecting when I was going to a pay to play course. All 3 tees per hole should be uniform for the course.
-The signage, while beautiful was inconsistence. Sometimes it was located on the blue tees sometimes on the white, and because the tees aren't defined it might take a few minutes to figure out at what tee you are at.
-The 18th hole is right between #4 and #16 it could be really easy to be targeting the wrong basket
-While playing hole #9 there where people warming up at the basket instead of at the designated practice basket
Other Thoughts: I call ahead of time and setup a tee time and even when I I had to move the time up the woman was very pleasant and accommodating.
It was helpful to have the course map on the back of the scorecard, because there were times we would have gotten lost without it.
I have also read reviews complaining about the cost to play the course. I find $10 reasonable, and if you don't want to pay it you don't have to play here, but it would be nice if they had season passes for something like $50
