Frost Season is here! To avoid long delays from putting play on hold for the course to thaw, we are taking precautions and not booking tee times earlier than 9:30 am. until we are confident that weather will be favorable. Our course sits in a low valley amongst Central Texas’ Hills with temperature at the course being much lower than reflected for Leander on The Weather Channel and other apps. If you desire to play before 9:30 a.m., please continue to check our website for tee time availability as we will open early tee times when weather conditions allow us to do so.
In Difficult Conditions, Listen to Your Brain, Not Your Ego
Golf course conditions can get difficult this time of year. Maybe the course has experienced heavy rain and is incredibly slow and wet. Maybe it’s windy or cold temperatures, and it’s two or three-club wind each time you step over a golf ball.
The key is to make the game easier on yourself when the course conditions become difficult.
Let’s take, for instance, a day when it is incredibly windy.
If you normally hit 9 iron 120 yards, and you just hit a shot that only went 100. This is good information to have. The next time you have a 120-yard shot, chances are you will need your 7 iron.
Make this adjustment for the day, don’t worry about your total distances and averages; make the game easier on yourself and accept these quick adjustments. The golf course is different every single day and you should play it that way.

Football playoff season is here! In golf, we do not have a flag on the play, but maybe we need to! In golf, we have golf shop personnel and player assistants to help us along with slow play or questions as we play our golf course. The game of golf is the only game where you are expected call a penalty on yourself. Some players on our golf course may need to be reminded of that from time to time. Honor and dignity are some of the core principles of the game of golf…

If your opponent can’t remember if he shot a six or a seven on a hole, chances are he had an eight.
