Plan on checking it out mid February. Might be frozen stiff but oh well.

It's really starting to come in.

Is it going to be walking only or will they allow carts?

Most likely walking only like their other resorts unless you have a medical note from a doctor, then your caddie will drive the cart.

Is it too late to get in on the preview play?

I expect an invite when you become a member… You have my number.

I called the other day trying to book for end of February and there was nothing available. She did tell me to call back the week before and week of because there are oftentimes cancellations

Went yesterday for a preview play round. If you can make it happen, go.

It is already outstanding with just the few holes they have open, but its going to be amazing when its complete. I haven't been to Sand Valley or Bandon yet so I can't compare it to those. But it doesn't have the feel of any other course I've played in Texas.

Going to play Friday, looking forward to it

I know it's hard to tell in photos, but does it have some unlevel lies in the fairway and undulating greens?

Place is excellent, went out 2 weeks ago and did the opening loop. Doak's course needs a year (maybe two) to fully grow in to play the way it's meant to which is extremely normal for new courses. I played High Pointe in Northern MI last summer (another Doak course, really cool story) and felt as if it was similar land. The C/C course is being cleared right now and they're shooting for it being open next year. Could play hole 6 all day out there. Caddie was telling me the back 9 is much more dramatic and hard. They're going to change the loop to 9-18 (20 holes) at some point in the next couple months and late summer/early fall it'll fully be open. If you have the time and $100 (green fee plus forecaddie fee) it's a bargain.

It's a Doak so yes. I got Doaked down but had plenty of experience on his courses so I knew generally what to expect. It's very playable but have to be in the right spots.

are there any amenties out theres right now? pro shop, bar, etc?

Have they indicated when the preview play will end? I want to head out there, but was going to give it a little longer to grow in.

The pro shop is stocked with items - I only bought two hats and some logo balls, but they have a good selection of hats, hoodies, shirts, vests, etc.

They have a small bar on the patio with light food offerings including sandwiches and different pizzas.

If I remember correctly they said roughly three more months of preview play. Was chopping it up with the starter at the end of the day and he said the best time to call is a day or two in advance. They had called me Tuesday with an opening and I went to play on Friday. Out of 40 total players they allocate for each day, only 31 showed up the day I was there. He said the tee sheet is never full due to late cancellations.

That looks amazing. I love that style of course.
