It's a course...in the hill country... 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Apr 16, 2022
Played the course:once
Pros:
-Rubber tee pads were fine. A couple were slightly uneven, but still easily usable. I could see a problem if they got wet though.
-There were some fun downhill shots, but nothing too crazy. There was about an equal number of uphill shots as downhill.
- All of the cedar trees have been cleared out so the rough is quite manageable.
-Good variety of shots and distances.
-New Latitude 64 baskets that caught amazingly- probably the best baskets I've ever had the pleasure to throw at.
-Only $3.25 to play this private course, which seems like an odd number, but I'm not complaining.

Cons:
- All of the trees out here are smaller live oaks. I prefer more mature trees, which create better obstacles both width-wise and vertically. As long as I didn't get tucked up close to a tree I could shoot over the top of the trees on almost every hole.
-There's not really a signature hole or anything too memorable. Most of the holes sort-of bled together. I think this had to do with the fact there's no mature trees out here. Everything just looked the same, i.e. arid, rocky, hill country. There was a sense of repetitiveness and lack of truly unique holes.
-There were random temporary (mobile) buildings and a junk pile of washing machines, refrigerators, etc. that came into play on 3 or 4 of the holes. I didn't land in it, but with a slightly errant shot it's definitely possible.
-On hole 18, there was an expensive 5th wheel travel trailer just off of the fairway. There was heavy wind when I played and I landed off to the right of the fairway and directly behind this travel trailer. The path to the basket went right through the middle of it. I could have tried to go over it, but I didn't want to accidentally damage it. I had to pitch out for a 150' shot instead of going for a 300-400' shot towards the basket.
-Most of the holes have a singular defined route. I prefer the Houck style of multiple routes/fairways that is prevalent in central Texas courses.

Other Thoughts:
I'm not sure why all the trees out here are so small. It not only affects disc golf play in a negative manner, but it also reduces the ambiance and nature appeal of the course and reduces the amount of shade.
If I lived in Dripping Springs I'd love to have this as my local course, but even coming from Austin I would not consider this a destination course. There's many courses within Austin or in the surrounding area that I'd rather play.
Dreamland is a large private recreational complex with many attractions. It seems like they had some extra land so they put a disc golf course on it. Compared to the rest of the complex, it seems like disc golf was an after thought.
