Tons of good options in and around town.

How good are you? Do you prefer nicer courses, ones you can get shitfaced? where are you staying (north/south/east/west) need more info to direct you.

I would recommend checking out golfnow.com for public listings and price ranges.

Lions - classic public course in downtown close to lake austin. short yardage and can get crowded.

Jimmy Clay/Roy Kizer - newer courses east austin. basically a toss up kizer more of a links course. Clay more elevation, obsacles (they are in 1 complex)

Hancock - 9 holes, oldest public course in texas

Grey Rock - good, long, harder course/ South Mopac

Falconhead - Lakeway area. hardest public course imo.

Pine Forest/colovista - bastrop area. nice scenery, courses not in great condition. pine trees, looks like georgia

riverside- good for groups. east of downtown you can go in a big group and get shitfaced. we played a group of 8 doing 4 man scramble on the same hole. not a ton of traffic. one guy had a cart with no clubs, just drove around handing out shots

avery ranch/ star ranch/ terravista - round rock area, ok nothing special here

crystal falls - cedar park. hill country amateur. hard course. nice for the price

blackhawk- would not recommend, but cheap

river place - hard as frick. west near steiner ranch. long, tons of elevation. great scenery tho. 200 ft + drops and climbs on some holes. big cliffs

bluebonnet is nice, but strict about bringing your own cooler. bluebonnet:

the bandit in new braunfels about 1 hour south is a top public course in the state.

morris williams isnt great but cheap. close to downtown in east austin


lot of good options can be had in the $20-50 range.

A bunch of 10-20 handicappers going for a bach party so we'll need beers. Nothing too hard or expensive. Thanks for your feedback @Winston Cup
