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.

The Fazio Foothills course at the Omni Barton Creek Resort is a fun, sporty track just outside of Austin, TX, providing more elevation changes & rolling hills than I expected. The Par-3s are particularly good & nice mixture of risk/reward Par-5s.

One of the “least nice” and easiest Barton creek courses. Still a fun round with good conditions.

Doesn’t feel resort-y (similar to Canyons). Love the water holes, but decently boring other than that. Fun downhill par 4 to start.

Challenging, tree lined course, but fair. It was engaging, which is better than most public’s. Pace was slow slow. Good clubhouse. Range leaves a lot to be desired, facilities fine. Would play again, value may be in question depending on prices.

Grey Rock used to be a semi private course until it was bought by the city of Austin about 7 years ago Ever since the course has been a public facility it gets way too much traffic and is no longer in the condition it used to be

Can walk right up and put your ball down to get in line. You should only need about 2 clubs as most holes are 60ish yards. Every city should build one of these in their public park system, truly a ton of fun. Pro tip: If you are looking to get out on the weekend, go early.

Some good golf holes, some poor golf holes, overall a pretty fun course in decent shape. Wouldn’t go out of your way to play it, but if you are in north Austin area for work it’s not a bad place to check out.

An Austin staple. First couple times around can be challenging as there’s several blind tee shots where you need less than driver. But gettable after you know where you’re going. Enjoyable with under 4 hour pace. Short course.

The greens were very slow and bumpy, and it was 5+ hour round… still, great views, layout, and value.

Good place to learn the game. Not the best conditions but that isn’t expected on a course like this. Walking only for the most part.
