I like Cassidy more
2-4 
6/16/2012

Pros: Played these 2 courses for the first time in June 2012, for the Dubz Challenge.
Cassidy course blows the Bertha course away in this guy's opinion. It has a TON of excellent technical shots off the tee. Just the opposite of Bertha.
Cassidy had everything I wanted from a DG course with the exception of teepads (they are natural, but still okay). Beautiful technical drives and well-placed baskets. You get to throw at/near water a couple of times. It's got some elevation and even a 1000' hole. It had so many nice holes I can't even recall the best signature ones.
I'd give Cassidy a 4.0-rating. It was super fun!

Cons: Bertha is mainly wide open with a big tree here and there. The holes get very long towards the end and there were too many uphill holes for my taste. There just weren't many clever holes with the exception of one that has the basket located just inside the woods in an alcove. Playing Bertha in the Summer heat is brutal and not very rewarding in the end, even if you do well. You need a 400' drive to do very good out there. It was a good thing they were giving away Blizzard Teedevils at the tourney because I threw it on almost every hole.
In essence, they are just baskets out in a field with a mando here or there and maybe a feature landmark to keep it somewhat interesting. I'd give this course a 3.0 at best, and do not think it's worth the drive to play to be honest.
Cassidy had some flow issues and even with a map (which was inaccurate) we spent too much time walking around looking for teepads, which were just two small white flags stuck in the ground.
Some of the baskets were very tough to see as they don't have the yellow halo's or anything like that. More signs or flags would have helped immensely.

Other Thoughts: Bertha = 2.5, Cassidy = 4.0 for an average rating of 3.33.
I was very disappointed that we played "Alternate Shot" on Cassidy and "Best Shot" on Bertha at the Dubz Challenge, because the shots off the tee are not even comparable. I was super miffed that I didn't get to throw drives from over half the holes at Cassidy, as I was the one converting most of our (gimme) putts on that course.
If I go back to Moody's, then I would play Cassidy twice and not even venture over to Bertha. They aren't even comparable for a technical player like myself. Big bombers may actually enjoy Bertha, though, which I consider to be a Par course since it's long and wide open for the most part.
Even Dave said he thinks Bertha is designed to shoot about Par playing solo, meaning there are very few short holes. Only one or two that I remember. Most of them were over 300'.
TAKE PLENTY OF WATER AND FOOD, the nearest place to eat is about fifteen minutes away back at 535. The Exxon sells Hunt Bros. Pizza and the little Mexican food place next to it is actually very good. Also, use the bathroom before you go!
Wear pants if you can, the grass burrs have murderous intent. Probably not an issue closer to Wintertime.

Pros: Four different tees (Red, White, Blue, and Reverse) give this course 72 very different holes. Blue is for the big boys with one hole over 1100' and uphill. White, although longer than red, is probably the easiest because the short red course is slightly more technical. The reverse course is the most technical of the four but even it is pretty open for the most part.
This is one of the prettiest courses you will ever play. It is a cattle ranch with rolling hills, huge trees, a couple of ponds, and barbed wire fences every where.
I can't think of a course that has a bigger variety of shots than this one. Uphill, downhill, over water, open, super long, short, tight, left, right, over fences, etc.
There is a driving range with tone poles to aim at and a practice basket.
The sandy soil out there is quite amazing. I played during a torential downpour (3" of rain on day 1 of a tournament) and there were absolutely no footing problems. The next day you could not even tell it had rained. I would even go as far as to say that the natural packed sand tees at Moody's are superior to concrete.
A few of the holes have benches to rest at.
There are two B tier tourneys per year at Moody's and most people camp out for them. It is a blast.

Cons: There are some cow pies you could step in if you don't keep a lookout.
There are areas of tall, unmowed rough lining many of the mowed fairways. It is quite easy to lose a disc in this tall grass.
There are grass burrs everywhere.
There use to be tee signs but of the few that are left only a couple are legible.
There was no map available and distances would have been nice to know.

Other Thoughts: Thank you Mr. Moody for making such a wonderful piece of property available to the public. I look forward to playing it many more times in the future.

Play it. 
Pros: Large private acreage. Par 4 and 5 holes plentiful. Multiple tees on each hole. Good terrain. Water in play on a few holes.
Cons: Not much to complain about. If I had to think of one thing, it would be that it's a bit out of the way and difficult to find for the first time visitor.
Other Thoughts: This is a great facility for real golf. Not only are there true par 4's (and a par 5), they aren't just lengthy, you have to think about placing your drive to set up for the next shot. Since it's a private course and a ways from Austin, it's not likely to be crowded like the Austin city courses.
The sandy soil on which the course is built means that you can play the course soon after a heavy rain without slogging through mud.
There have been cattle grazing on the course when I've been there, so you might have to avoid some treasures left on the ground if that's still the case.
Overall, well worth the drive if you're in the Austin area.
