The home course. The greens are fast and true. Bluebonnet is home ofthe 4 hour round and they mean it. If the marshalls tell you catch up and you don't you will skip a hole. The fairways are faster than a lot of greens in the Greater Austin Area and some of them are right on top of each other. Excellent driving range and practice area.

Good, just a small selection.

Nice course. Never played there before. Will certainly add this to my frequent places to play. Chilly day today. Wet hard greens...6 out of 18 fairways today...thats my best so far...(hey, ive only been at it for about 6 mos). Lots of green on this course for it being winter time. Been to alot of course around austin/georgetown area...not the case up there.

In and around austin. Shadowglen, Sammons in Temple (don't bother...save your cash).

1. Fast, hard fairways that add distance to any drive. 2. Friendly staff and "country club" type service or attitude. 3. Fast, true greens (once they figure out the fungus problems). 4. Many birdie opportunities.

Rocks just on the edges of the fairway. Wind. Gnarly, rocky, brushy rough (not grass) on the edges of the fairways: if you hit it in there, you can't hack it out, and you will probably take an unplayable penalty.

I have played this course since it opened in 1991. I know the staff and the staff knows me by name. I know the course like the lines on my face. They have the friendliest staff in Central Texas. Bluebonnet's two claims: fast, fair, and "true" greens (Tifdwarf), and a low tolerance for slow play, and therefore a "promised" 4 hour round of golf. I played the course a few days ago (April 2004) and for the first time EVER I was very disappointed in the quality of the greens. I think it was a fungus of some sort, and I have seen it at other local courses. (BTW: the best conditioned greens I have seen for the low cost end are Jimmy Clay and Riverside). The basics: Bluebonnet is short, not too tight, but it should be called "Windy Hill" because of the prevailing north or south winds. In fact, this course should have two scorecards -- a winter wind card -- hitting into it on number 8, and a spring/summer card -- downwind on number 8 (for example)-- because the course plays differently on different days. The second thing: if you hit it in in the rough, you may have to deal with a rocky lie. Third: the course is pretty short -- especially from the whites -- and holes 1-6 give you a great opportunity for birds. The backside is tougher - longer par 3s and water on three of the holes -make the difference, but the other signature hole besides the par 3 seventeenth - is number 12, a downhill par five of only 488 yds. is a bonafide eagle hole. You can see the entire hole in front of you. A very memorable hole. If you can catch this course on a windless day -- a rarity indeed -- it can be had.

Driving range: nice view of Lake Walter Long.

Terrain. Very nice views and some hills. Wildlife abounds. Price and availability.

Sometimes the fairways are too dry, but they are in the sun all day as there are few trees on this course. It can get hot out there.

Nice public course. I really enjoyed the view of the lake from the driving range. Beautiful, but windy. Nice practice facilities and a nice wide open course. There is not much room between the fairways so you can put alot of balls in the short grass somewhere. Nicely maintained and not to expensive (about $20.00 to walk). Very playable course with not too much sand or water.

Love the driving range.

Wide fairways let you rip it and really get aggressive to go at the pin. Course is in great shape and greens are true. The staff does a good job to make your round enjoyable and works singles and walk-ons in quickly.

More water holes would make this an outstanding course.Even a more fairway traps might add to it.

Bluebonnet is a fun course to play for all levels of golfers. Wide fairways and a mixture of shots required make it a challenge. It's not too long or hard to score but minor mistakes will make your score go up and your feelings get hurt. The wind can be a factor on several holes .....both good and bad.
