    View from one of the holes!

    I think Hancock is the perfect course for beginners and people who are looking to just putt around. It's a well taken care of public course that offers people a chance to play some holes alone or with friends. There are no carts, so you will need to walk around with your bag but the view is great and for the price you really can't beat it. Another huge plus to Hancock is that it is rarely busy, even on holidays..we've been out on Easter, Memorial Day and New Year's Day and never had a problem hopping on or waiting a couple minutes. I would really recommend to anyone just starting out or if you're looking for some relaxing holes!

    I've actually never golfer here, but it's a great park to jog around or to bring your dog for a morning or evening stroll. The distance around it is about 1.1 miles so it's easy to gage your distance while jogging. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. I recently learned that this is actually the oldest golf course in TX. Pretty cool! The course is 9 holes and is divided in half by Waller Creek. $12.50 for 9 holes and $21 for 18. They will take reservations for groups of 4. The park is not closed off and towards the evening people tend to use it more as a regular park rather than a golf course. Awesome view of downtown Austin and great for star watching on clear nights since it has the least light pollution in the area.

    I really like this course. I have a push cart so it's easy to walk. Not super easy but great for beginners and even a family outing. Grounds keeper is really nice. I look forward to playing here when I have time.

    Fairways are in decent shape , but some greens need a great deal of work. Very crowded but it was Fathers Day weekend.

    Amazing all around…read more Whether you are a social golfer or a bit more serious. This is a fun 9-hole par three that is suitable for all skill levels. I spent five days in Austin and came back to the spot twice! Has the best vibes, great staff, cool swag (love the Sunday bag and country club shirts)and a great beverage selection. Depending on the time that you go, there might be a wait, so grab a drink and enjoy practicing chipping, putting, cornhole, or socializing. The course has fun billboards (Caddyshack and Ron ) and comical Greenskeepers. I was impressed by how nice the greens are. Honestly, much better than some of my local 18 public courses! Restrooms are clean and easy to access. Two unisex so plan accordingly :) I cannot emphasize enough, how amazing their customer service is. This is a great spot run by great people.

    Disclaimer: Did not come to play golf, but it is definitely still on my Austin bucket list!…read more What I actually came to do was grab some discounted merchandise from the Sierra Madre women's golf brand sample sale to celebrate their 3rd anniversary. I also got a ton of free products from the Bloom Nutrition "booth". The waiting/gathering area was cute and I was able to get a spot by the office where folks sign up for a round. Based on what others told me that day, they had a large high school group come in & back up everyone else. The wait was several hours long. Next time they should have just closed the business for the whole day, half day, or just until the large group finished the course. This way others are not inconvenienced. Otherwise, I feel like it'd be a fun experience with great views and I can't wait to come here with family or friends!

    While visiting Austin, the wife and I stopped in at this place because it looked like a lot of fun…read more It was Monday evening, July 13, around 6:00 p.m. It's located downtown on the corner of a high-rise, and the atmosphere immediately caught our attention. We got a table pretty quickly in a smaller section, which was nice because it wasn't very crowded where we were sitting, even though there were several larger groups elsewhere in the restaurant. One thing to know before you go: check to see if there's a special event scheduled. Events can close the entire place for the evening, so it's worth checking ahead of time. We spent about an hour and a half there. Our table ordered a variety of food, and everything we had was good. The servers were very attentive and kept our drinks filled throughout the evening. I had two Old Fashioneds, and they were excellent. All in all, we spent about $168. Between the food, drinks, attentive service, and fun downtown atmosphere, it was a great evening and a place we'd gladly visit again.

    My friend Shannon G. and I ended up at Electric Shuffle on a whim. We had been bar hoping on Rainey…read moreand spotted Electric Shuffle off the beaten path. We figured we would stop in for a drink before ending our night. I hadn't heard of Electric Shuffle so I didn't realize it was a shuffleboard bar. When I walked in and looked around, it had an odd familiarity to it. It then dawned on me that it reminded me of Flight Club and I found out later in the evening that it is owned by the same hospitality group. We sat at the bar. James was our bartender and he was the only one behind the bar for most of the night. He was very friendly and attentive (I don't think my water glass was ever empty). Just like Flight Club, they offer both food and drinks. There's a decent amount of tables throughout the space for patrons who aren't playing shuffleboard. I wanted to order the Cucumber Elderflower G+T, but James informed me that they ran out of Elderflower. None of the other gin and vodka drinks piqued my interest so I switched it up and went with a Ranch Water. It was really good and I liked that it was dressed with Tajin and lime. Shannon had a Watermelon Sugar Mojito which she enjoyed. We didn't play shuffleboard, but we did walk around. Some of the shuffleboards were in semi-private rooms, while others were out in the main dining area. There's four different game modes and everything is digital which is convenient for score keeping. We absolutely loved the decor. They had throwback vinyl, cassette tapes, and CDs as well as Walkmans, boomboxes, and record players. It was super cool and nostalgic. I've never played shuffleboard, but it looks like a lot of fun. We loved the chill vibe of the bar and it was a great place to end our night.

    It's a shame there's one bad review from 11 years ago dragging this down because this is the place…read moreto be! I came in as a new golfer, wanting to improve my game and get a better feel. I've since been taking lessons with Flint Nelson who has been awesome. From 4 lessons I just played the best few rounds of golf I've had in the last year! Flint played golf in college and knows exactly how to teach others by giving information but not too much - just enough to digest and then let's you repeat and work on it until you're feeling good before moving on. The technology itself is awesome. I think the view from the front / back is key to understanding how to improve your golf swing. At Westlake they have tons of Parking and 3-4 bays with simulators in them for you to come practice in and use whenever you need to tweak your swing or just to practice from lessons etc. have taken my whole family since I started and we all love it so much - can't recommend this place enough!

    The guys in here have no idea what they are doing with fittings. Don't get fit for clubs here…read more I got fit for irons and driver which was a complete waste of time. The younger guy fitting me had no idea what he was doing. He didn't ask anything about my golf game other than my handicap. He didn't consider swing speed at all nor did he look at loft, lie, or gapping. There was no consideration of shaft also, it's like he grabbed the first one he saw off the wall. I'm a 20 year old guy with 92ish mph club head speed for a 7 iron. I shouldn't be hitting 95g Regular stiffness shafts, which is what he gave me to hit and told me to get. He had no insight into each club or my swing. Additionally, he was pushing me to purchase lessons on top of the fitting. It felt like I was at a car dealership. A 1 hour fitting totaled $125 which is outrageous for the lack of knowledge and result. Don't make the same mistake I did.

    We stayed at the Omni Austin Hotel Downtown for a wedding (reserved a room from their room block)…read moreand it was very nice. The Sangeet was held on Saturday in the ballroom on the second floor of the Omni. The party was so much fun and the staff at the Omni really made the party run smoothly, by keeping the plates full and drinks refilled! Stayed in a standard room on the 8th floor. The room was nice and the linens were really soft. Love the robe (considering purchasing one), and the bathroom was clean with an oversized shower. We didn't opt for daily cleaning service because: #1 we were there only two nights and #2 if you choose to opt out of daily housekeeping, you participate in Omni's "Say Goodnight to Hunger" program (they donate a meal to a local food bank). We requested extra towels and coffee and they quickly delivered to our room. I like the texting system with Omni and look forward to visiting more locations to earn more rewards!

    My husband and I recently stayed at the OMNI Austin Downtown for a 4 day tour and football game…read more From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with such great hospitality. The staff was friendly, helpful and very efficient at checking our large group into our rooms. The hotel and our room was clean, and our requests for different pillows and a microwave were filled quickly. The hotel had great energy to celebrate both teams that were going to play that weekend and decorated the lobby/ bar area with balloons and other decorations for some pre-game drinks and food. Patrick (who I believe was a hospitality manager) provided us with excellent service going above and beyond our expectations. His staff was also so efficient seeing that any need by guests were met quickly and with satisfaction. We were also impressed that our room was cleaned and new towels were placed in the bathroom the night before we were to check out. We felt that with just one more night the towels we had not used were sufficient but loved the service we received. Would highly recommend staying here,
