Is anyone else here from the Central Texas area?

I graduated from Moody.

I currently live in College Station.

You play Sammons or Wildflower often?

[cvlngineer]

I mostly play at Sammons. But I also like Stonetree in Killeen and Cottonwood Creek in Waco. I played at Greenbrier last summer and its not too bad. That was the first time I ever broke 100.

I've never played at Wildflower. It looks nice, but I don't know anyone with a membership.

Greenbriar is where I learned the game. Played there many, many times.

Cottonwood is the best value I've found in the region. $20 twighlights on weekends and perfect greens, doesn't get too much better.

[cvlngineer]

Cottonwood is a fantastic course. I played at Stonetree in Killeen today and the greens are HORRIBLE. They are just now transitioning from winter to summer and are bare sand with patches of grass. In a few weeks it should be nice again though.

Hey guys:

I'd love it if this thread becomes a good discussion of Central Texas course conditions.

On that theme, has anyone played Jimmy Clay or Roy Kizer in the last 6 weeks. I really like Kizer, but the conditions about 4 months ago were so bad (dead greens) that I haven't gone near it since.

Just checking to see if they have improved.

Thanks!

I haven't played them recently, but I'm fairly confident that they're in good shape. Clay and Kizer are always in good shape. I would call and ask the proshop, they won't lie to you.
