Universal City has just been renovated with the closing of several open holes on the front of the course with several new technical holes added to the middle of the course to make a full 18.
Between the three, I'd play Live Oak if it gets wet at all since most of the course has grassy fairways. Try to meet someone out there to guide you around.
To get to Live Oak, take I-35 north to the Topperwein exit, take a right to the stoplight and a left on Judson Road. Drive to the top of the hill to the next stoplight and hang a left. Drive straight through the neighborhood until the road ends and take a right. That's the entrance to the park. You will see baskets on your left as you drive through. The first tee box is at the end of the asphalt next to the kiddie playground at the top of the rise. It's a little of a hike to the tee box from where you have to park.
Hole one is straight out. To get to the tee box 2, walk around the outside of the baseball field, and the teebox is next to right side of the lake. Holes 3 & 4 are easy to find. From #4's basket, walk uphill along the concrete culvert to #5's teebox. #5's basket is out about 350 across another concrete culvert.
Now, comes the tricky part. To get to the #6 teebox, you have to cross the #1 fairway, around the back fence of the baseball field, past the #2 teebox. Look for the teebox off the sidewalk to your right along the lake. #6 has two teeboxes, the long is over the lake and the short is along the side of the lake.
From there it's pretty simple until you come off #15. #16 is about a hundred yards across the grass toward the driveway leading into the park. From #16 basket, walk along the ridge in the direction of the football field and play the two holes along the ridge. I believe they are marked 26 and 27 to complete your round.
