Circle C Disc golf Course

Opening Thoughts:
Beautiful Course, Imagine taking a hike through your favorite wilderness area but having an amazing disc golf course all along the way!

Pros:
Practice Baskets. Two baskets offer a variety of practice opportunities.

Tees. Concrete tee pads, dual options on most holes are all in great shape. Multiple locations not only offer length options, but several change the lines quite well.

Challenge/Variety of Holes. Each hole was a new adventure, I found myself walking the length of each hole to check out lines and landing areas to plan my shot, each hole required a variety of shots and line shaping skills.

Beautiful. The landscape is incredible, it’s not only a disc golf experience but a hike through the “wilderness.” Amazing enough to find an area like this so close to the city, but to have a great disc golf course in the middle of it – I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here.

Amenities. Located in a sports complex of a park, bathrooms are available at the beginning. Trash cans can be found on several holes.

Cons:
Vandalism. Yeah, I noticed the graffiti and various broken tee signs, didn’t detract from the overall experience, but it’s sad to see such a lack of respect for such a beautiful area.

Though the tees themselves are level, the area around doesn’t offer a runup for those that like 10 feet behind the tee.

Not for Beginners. For one, it is very challenging and would have frustrated me terribly as a beginner. If I survived that and still kept playing, I’d be let down by any other course that I played afterward in this area.

Crowded. This course is popular for a reason, and everybody knows it – there may be a wait on weekends or in the afternoons.

Other Thoughts:
Bring water, it will be hot out there, and it is a hike – take your time and enjoy this beauty of a course. Well worth the stop, if in Austin make this course a priority.
