Circle C - Austin, TX

[LouMoreno]

There is a workday at Circle C this Saturday, Mar 28 starting at 9am. This will probably be the last workday before the course re-opens. For the most part, there will be rock to move and mulch to spread. Please bring rakes and shovels.

As a bonus, DiscNation will be giving volunteers $10 certificates for participating. Thank you, DiscNation.

The Circle C Disc Golf Course in Austin is now open for play again!!!

While the project is not completely finished, it is close enough to get the course back in and to get players out there enjoying it. The new tee signs probably won’t be installed until next week (but they will be great), and there will be some small on-going projects out there for about the next month.

The Circle C re-opening is the culmination of years of work by Waterloo Disc Golf Club to get major improvements made on our disc golf courses. We hope, and expect, that this is just the beginning.

This project includes:

* A great partnership between Waterloo Disc Golf Club and City of Austin Parks & Recreation.
* The biggest investment by the city in disc golf since the early 1990s.
* Hundreds of volunteer hours put in by the club and its members, and over $6,000 of the club's money spent on the improvements.
* A re-designed course, now 18 holes, with short and long tee pads on many of the holes.
* Concrete tee pads and awesome tee signs on both the short and long positions.

The Club sends HUGE THANKS out to Mike Olse, Dan Mueller, Mike Graham, Josh Rippie, and all the other fantastic volunteers and workers who made this all happen; and to Disc Nation and Houck Design for their great support as well!

For questions about this project, please contact Dan Mueller at (512) 293-7592.

this is great! I was in Austin 6 months ago and was disappointed that it was closed, but I have been looking forward to seeing the new design. What can you tell me bout the new layout? Any pictures/maps/distances posted anywhere?

[LouMoreno]

Disc Nation has a map on their site. I don't think anyone has taken pictures yet. I'll see if I can't get the distances from Mike Olse later.

[J A B]

Fact or fiction C-Ware! The internet is no place for rumors.

[LouMoreno]

3 baskets should be missing since the course went from 21 to 18 holes.

I played 18 holes on Sat morning. All 18 plus the 2 pracitce baskets were there then. I haven't heard anything about missing baskets until reading your post.

We recieved word from the park supervisor at Circle C that there are some very aggressive ground hornets on hole #10 at Circle C. The city has flagged off the area and will be treating it, but possibly not for another few days. So if you are playing out there, be sure to avoid that area; apparently the hornets have attacked some golfers already.

I will be coming through here on Nov. 13 or 14th. I hear this is the course to hit out of the greater Austin area, is that correct?

[krazyeye]

Manor as well.

[seewhere]

manor, williamson county park and circle c are all great courses.
