For the past few years I have carried my dad's Big Bertha around in my trunk, hoping that on my many trips to the Bastrop area for projects, I would one day have time to stop in and hit some long ones. About 6 months ago, I returned said club to said dad, kinda bummed that I never made time to hit the small ball 300 yards. When I stopped in last week sans club and balls and tees and glove and comfortable golf clothes, peaceful owner Steve did not seem to mind. His Zen approach was refreshing - he reminded me of Chevy Chase's quirky, relaxed character Ty Webb in Caddyshack. A five spot got me a bucket of about 50 golf balls, three borrowed sticks - I chose 9 and 5 cavity-back irons and then he handed me a 3 wood which, of course, was not "wood" at all, but titanium. So, for $6.50 total for the 50 balls and the bag of tees, I was able to spend a half hour of fun in the sun trying to sink into the rhythm -- the grip, the swing, the bent knees, the relaxed shoulders and elbows -- that IS golf. "Be the ball...slow down your breathing and BE the ball...relax." Caddyshack altered my golf paradigm back in 1980 from a serious, uptight, clenched-teeth ahhhctiviteee to an entertaining, Zen way to BE. The guys next to me were bangin' balls all day for $10... it was like an all-day buffet. In addition to a golf range, this is also a repair shop. New grip = $2 per club. Broken shaft = $10.

I have wondered if two stars is too high. The staff was extremely friendly so that is the only reason I am giving it two. The course should be shut down. I get it is January and the grass would be dormient. That does not explain the "moon scape" of the fairways. Huge potholes everywhere. The tee boxes are so hard you can't get tees in them. Then there are the tee boxes that have backhoe damage on them. Why is a backhoe on a tee box? Then the greens are a joke. The sand traps have rocks in them. If I had paid $15 maybe it would be ok. That is a huge maybe. My husband and I play golf a lot all over the world. This is the worst course conditions we have ever had. It may have been better not to play golf? We looked on line and saw they had some tee times the day of so that is why we went. The price on line was $38. We drove there and to book there on sight was $45. The day wasn't great as well as the pace of play was so so so slow. We had a four some of ladies playing best ball. Two of the four couldn't hit the ball more than four feet or swang and miss. I am all for newbies. Especially ladies. However, you got to be smart about it. It wouldn't have been difficult to let us play through either as we were usually at the tee box with them. Thankfully, they stopped at the turn and only played nine and that is when we found out it really didn't matter because they had a foursome in front of them that was drunk and as bad at golf as the ladies with mouths of sailors. We got so fed-up we drove through on hole 13. I don't know if I have seen people so drunk on a golf course in a while. I do blame the lady at the front. It was clear she knew them. We were a twosome. We knew it was going to be slow, but we could have also gone off before them. When we drove through the last foursome, we didn't have anyone in front of us the rest of the round no matter how fast we went. We play fast. Additionally, on the front nine we had the two some behind us drive into us three times. It is so unacceptable. We were stuck between a slow foursome and a fast twosome. The last time he hit into us I drove back to him and said please go in front of us and see what we are dealing with. I wish I could say it was one guy. We got hit into again on the back nine by another player. Unreal! It sort of speaks to the type of players on this course. Newbies, that drink while they play and don't get the unspoken rules of golf. Do note there is no attire restrictions on this course. Overall, a bad day on a golf course is a better than a day at work but this wasn't really golf. This was hitting a white ball in the hill country. Save your money and time and go elsewhere. We had played here before, so we know it wasn't this bad the last time we played here. Hard to say is it going down or is it on its way up. Along the river you can see they are doing some work, but we will not be back. Not for the condition of the course.

The course is surrounded by trees and has a really cool vibe to it. Greens had a couple rough spots, but that's pretty expected for Texas in the summer. Pro shop staff and starter were both friendly, pace of play was smooth, and the GPS/Bluetooth carts were a really nice touch. The pro shop also had a great selection of merchandise. My only small note would be that I didn't really have any interaction with the outside staff before or after the round, and after finishing I was actually ready to tip but didn't see anyone around. Overall though, definitely a course I'm coming back to play.

I've booked several tee times here and it always seems like something weird happens. My wife and I…read moretook off work today and both our kids came in town to play, then we get a notification just before heading over that they closed the range and practice area for mowing in the middle of the day. Apparently this was scheduled, they just failed to tell everyone who scheduled tee times. It blew our day and it was too late to get on anywhere else and be done when we needed to be. If they would have simply listed the range was going to be closed we could've started earlier and played somewhere else. With the price to play here rarely matching the course condition, and the weird decisions they make (may be staffing related), it's probably the last time I try and play this place. It's a shame because it's only 10min away and I was hoping to join this fall.

Weekdays are $25 an hour per person, basically a small premium to hitting a driving range with very accurate technology on distances and spins. It's also nice to be given metrics on contact angles to help with adjusting the game if you're looking yo fine tune stuff. They have thousands of courses to choose from and honestly can play 18 in less than an hour if playing at a reasonable pace. The putting action is also pretty decent which I found tough at other simulators. They aldo have additional stuff as well including a full bar with bar food, a ping pong table, and putting green area. Love supporting local businesses who also don't price like a Top Golf! This will be a regular spot to fine tune my game and stay out of the heat.
