Wolfdancer in Bastrop Tx. 25 min drive from downtown Austin. Also Falconhead in west Austin/Lakeway area, or Avery Ranch in North Austin. All very good, long, challenging layouts.

Agreed...but Wolfdancer is infinitely better. (IMO)

whats the green fee's, we are spending the night and playing one more place sunday

Prob $100ish rack rate, but I used to get great deals on tee times at GOLF512.com. It's been a few years though.

I'm in town for a few days and was wondering what I should play in either Austin or San Antonio? Looking for a really good track!

In San Antonio, both courses at La Cantera are very nice.  If you were planning to play 36, I recommend playing 18 at Cedar Creek early in the morning, have lunch at the retail area of La Cantera and then play either the Palmer or Resort Courses at La Cantera in the afternoon.  On Golfnow you can get on La Cantera around 2pm for $80.  Cedar Creek, while a muni with some rough edges, has an outstanding layout for a very good price (around $45-55 for 18 w/cart).  It would serve as a good warmup for La Cantera.  Both layouts are very hilly with lots of elevation changes.  Plus they are virtually right next to each other.

The Resort Course at La Cantera was the former home of the PGA's Texas Open and the Palmer Course is a typical Arnold Palmer design with lots of fun and interesting holes.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
