Are they talking about the new Wilco course in this description or is this a completely different place:

Williamson: Williamson County Brushy Creek Regional Park II (regional park) received $517,213 to acquire 37.1 acres by donation to expand and further develop Brushy Creek Regional Trail located east of the City of Cedar Park in the southern area of the county.

Any word from your neighbors down the road about this course:

Vinnie, you were right. Ben Brook rules! I shot even and felt pretty **** good about it considering all the water hazards. I've submitted the course info to the PDGA so they'll add it to the directory. Is anyone planning on holding a weekly or monthly mni there? And speaking of monthly minis...when is the Wilco mini? I'm closing on my house in Cedar Park and I'm 10 minutes away from both course....talk about luck!

Not yet, but it sounds like a great addition to the Sunday schedule. Hate to take it off the Rock another Sunday, but maybe we could make it the 4th Sunday?

1st Wilco
2nd RR
3rd Rivery or BB (how long will Rivery be clean)
4th BB or RR ??
5th RR

Sounds like a good topic - still haven't seen the course. Let's start the conversation tonight.

When some one has a minute could they please post directions to the new Ben Brook and Manor courses?
Lets do it from Hwy 79 and OSP entrance for us geographically challanged ppl like me. :confused:

FYI CenTex - Ben Brook DGC is one of the best in the area. Great course design which incorporates water on 12 of the 18 holes. Very similar to Kyle DGC in design and distance with a creek running through the entire course. There is a mix of tunnel and open shots and the course actually has very little cedar (hell yeah!). I just posted the course on the PDGA Course Directory and it should be approved shortly. Here are the directions:

From Austin - take I35 North to FM1431. Turn left (west) and go to old 183. Turn right (north) on old 183 until you see the new HEB Grocery. Turn left (west) on FM2243 until Bagdad Rd. Turn right (north) on Bagdad - course is approx 2 miles on your right.

The boxes are shredded cedar and the course is a little hard to navigate - an experienced golfer should be able to make their way. Make the road trip - combine Ben Brook and Wilco into an all day affair. They're only about 12 minutes from each other.

turn right onto palmer off 1431 and you won't have to spend all day in cedar park at red lights

jparmley
Mar 19 2008, 01:53 PM
Ahhh, but be careful if you use this route. Parmer...err Ronald Reagan HWY will take you directly to FM2243. But once you hit old 183, 2243 ends without you knowing it. If you go straight, you go into a neighborhood. 2243 is split just like Hwy 290...you must go up old 183 (north) and turn left on old 2243 (by HEB). This is why I provided the directions like I did....

OK. Thank you all for the input. On Ben Brook. Anyone know where the Manor course is? :cool::cool:

Another Question: Is there such thing as a putt putt course for disc golf? If not I just made one. Complete with alot of trees and a water hazzord. Distances range from 27 ft to 57 ft.
Course record after 10 rounds is - 2. Ace'em all pot is up to $25.00. Cost is FREE! (except MyCarroll) All holes are par 2.
So I guess I have the newest course in Texas!

Mar 19 2008, 03:52 PM
They never really opened it...The course is ready to go and some lucky people got to play it over the past two weeks, but the city/county wanted to install some other items in the park before the grand opening and asked Waterloo to spread the word that the course is still closed for another couple of weeks. If you go out there, they will kindly ask you to leave. We're getting close though...

Just played the new Manor course. Wear jeans! Watch where you sit you bag. Lotsa cacti,poison ivv abounds also. Over all it is somewhere in between Wilco and Old Settlers. Some really tight,short baskets and then a few LONG kinda tight baskets. Very large concrete tee pads, no signs yet. Directions: From Old Settlers Main Entrance: Head towards Dell Diamond to the lights at CR 122 ( Red Bud Lane), turn Right. Keep on going,right by the entrance to the Worlds only Disc Golf Putt Putt Course until you hit SH45. Turn left on to SH45 for 1.4 M Then Turn Right onto FM685S/TX-130 Toll S Ramp. After about 8.5 miles turn left onto US-290 East.Go 2 miles. Turn Right onto W murray Ave/ TX 212 Loop, continue to follow 212.After Crossing the RR tracks Turn Left onto Blake Manor Road.Park entrance is about 3.5 miles on the right. Look for the water tower.Proceed through the park past the pool and a couple parking lots. Tee for basket one is by the basket ball pavillion. Keep it on the fairway, I'm still bleeding!

Judd just put in a 9-holer at Crosspoint (http://tinyurl.com/d8pnsl) Church near McNeil and 183.

PS If you haven't played the new Brushy Creek Sports Park Course (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=3198), you should check it out. It's a 9-holer but it's really hard.

They mowed the grassy area around the play scape, picnic tables, and basketball court.

No mowing on the golf course. :(
