Mini Golf with Frisbees. SO fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 6, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is such a fun course. Initially I was worried about a 'Par 2' course being gimmicky or just hastily thrown together. After playing multiple times, this course is the opposite- it is creative and challenging while also maintaining that 'mini-golf / fun-land' style. Each holes has a theme or fun obstacle to overcome, whether it's the tee, fairway line or the basket itself!

Some highlights are a sink-hole basket (very fun to try and roll into), a lifted platform tee throwing onto an island, a lighthouse basket, and a roller ramp to a basket.

I had a ton of fun playing this course. It's right next to Flying Armadillo's main course, same parking lot. I would recommend doing a warm-up 18 (or 36!) holes on the Mini course then move onto the main course.

Austinites- it is very worth the trip, speaking from experience. About a 40min drive for me.

Cons:

It's a little dirty, but solely because of geography, just like many other courses out here. The course is maintained very well and a little dirt never hurt anybody anyways- no different from other DGC's in the area.

Other Thoughts:

Not a Pro/Con- need $5 cash for unlimited play all day. Just keep it in mind. I met the two guys that are designing the course. When I was there they were working on a StreamLine trailer and converting it into a Pro-Shop. It'll be great when the resort is finally complete!
