Has anyone played Wolfdancer lately? I may be playing a round there in a couple weeks.
I played a few weeks ago on a Monday with a group of 4. We didn't see another person on the course and were able to go off almost an hour early. Course condition was excellent. The new holes (10-13) were great, especially the par 5. I'd highly recommend it. A few of the new holes require some strategy (there's a par 4 that you need to hit an iron off the tee then hit wedge into the green… going for it over the trees can get you).
Colo has been bad for 4 years. They just can't get the fairways or tee boxes fixed. The greens aren't bad and the fastest greens you'll find. Last time I played there was a few months ago. Told myself I won't go back for at least 6 months because there's no way they can get anything fixed before that.
Pine Forest (Bastrop River Club now) hasn't been bad. I've played it 3 times in the last month. No traffic out there. Greens were ok. More grass to hit out of in the fairways than Colo. they are putting a lot of money into it ($1.5 mil) and have big goals over the next year. They e already cleared a ton of trees along the river and in a few other spots.
I golf quite a bit within an hour of Giddings and leaving out Wolfdancer (obvious #1) I'd go Brenham, Shadow Glen, College Station, Pine Forest, La Grange, Giddings, Colo.
Brenham is excellent right now and they are doing a ton of work out there, mainly irrigation.
