What a surprise! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 18, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

What a great surprise playing this course today! I had not played here in years. I showed up expecting the old layout and was excited to see that there had been a redesign. This course is great! Great variety of hole types and distances. Forehands, backhands, rollers, thumbers, spikes, etc. MachX baskets are awesome. There are tee signs on every hole. It is all updated in UDisc, so you can navigate easily using the map. I LOVE par 4s and 5s. There were not any par 5s on tee signs, but a couple of those par 4s are definitely par 5s. UDisc said par 61, I think it is a par 63. The course is easy enough to navigate just using signs that are posted on the course. There is a course map near hole 1 along with a practice basket. Plenty of trash cans.

Cons:

Hole 16 was very hairy. I just walked it as it wasn't worth the risk of losing a disc or having to hike into some junk.

There is a LOT of walking on this course with some distance separating a few holes.

A couple of holes in the back (15 and 16 I think) don't get much sun and the tee boxes were very slick after a small amount of rain.

Other Thoughts:

I did not look for restrooms, but in this massive park with tons of amenities, I'm sure they are there.

If you haven't been to Old Settlers in a while, GO! You will love the changes!

New Old Settlers Course is MEGA DAS 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 4, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course has a good mix of open and tight technical tee shots.Holes are not rediculously long, so there are birdie ops if you can keep your drive in the fairway.There are some big elevation changes, which is pretty unique to courses in the area.The baskets are new and beefy, like triple chained in the top section. Awesome compared to the old course.

Cons:

A creek comes into play on most holes.Course is going to be brutal in the growing season. Most of the holes are tight technical tee shots through the woods.

Other Thoughts:

This is a choice course in the Austin area.
