Thought the conditions were awesome, beautiful range and clubhouse. Felt like you never saw two holes at the same time, and felt like we were out there by ourselves.

In one sentence, you could spend a great day at UTGC and not even play the course. The club house is filled with photos and memorabilia of Texas greats, excellent restaurant and bar, and friendly and welcoming staff.

the conditions are about as good as they get. Ben calls the tee boxes the second best greens in Texas… after his own greens out there of course. the greens are the defense of the course and it is not too demanding tee to green. the par 3s stand out with good variety in distance…

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s scenery rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Scenery is the scenery score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs scenery ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Austin, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
