Me and about 5 buddys have decided to go out there next weekend. I have read that it needs some work! I was woundering if anyone had been out there lately? I was also woundering if there was anything that anyone really liked about the place. I also heard that there was solar lights so you could play at night! Has anyone played at night.

Go to www.twinparkscountryclub.com (http://www.twinparkscountryclub.com) and then call Park the owner and he will explain it all.

It is still a work in progress but things are happening. The clubhouse / pro shop is about 3 weeks from complete.

The cement tee boxes on the Hill get done next week.

The bottom Shire course was redesigned this week and is a few weeks away from cement tees.

Have fun and remember it has only been there less than 3 months. Just wait for the next 3 months.

Thanks
Chris

I was out there a few days ago. I wouldn't recomment playing night golf on the Park Hill course unless its well lit (I don't know if it is); the terrain is rocky, there are alot of trees, and foot and/or eye injury is a real possibility. I did see some solar lights by some baskets. How many of them there are, I don't know...I wasn't counting. The Park Hill course as it exists now is an exercise in throwing big high annies and hyzers. Not many holes have a clear shot from tee to basket. Not that that's a Real Bad thing......it will test your game and teach you patience and anger management, that's for sure.

It does have potential. :-)

that sounds awsome. I like courses that are like that! I know with the crowd I am going with it will be a blast.

I have been told both courses will be lite sometime soon. The best course to play at night will be the Park Shire course from the short tees. I also hear a new 9 Hole Corporate Course will be put in on top of the hill near the main house.

Again remember these courses have only been in the ground for a month or so. It takes a lot of work and time to clear 2 big courses in the hill country. I have been there and done that remember.

Call the number on the website and Park will explain the deal.

I hope to be out there next week and play the Park Hill course from start to finish. Just not in a 100 degree day this time.

Very true. As I remarked while playing the course the other day, its alot better to have a course with too many trees that you can, by smart trimming and clearing, develop into a great risk/reward course.....than to indiscrimanently start trimming and clearing, only to find out that you did too much and now its too easy. :D

My buddy called the owner and he said that they just made one of the courses longer.

they also have two pro that are going to be there next week.
I hope some of the locals show up and maybe we can have a game or two.

Just got back from playing the newly redisgned Park Shire course, and I have to say it is a major improvement for all that have been there before. Other than taking out original 3, which I thought was a great hole, I thought this course was much better designed.

There are now 3 sets of tees marked on each hole now. You now need to have a much more well rounded game to play out here. There are a lot more tees in play off the tee boxes, and much more defined fairways. The best of the original crushing holes were left. I think anyone who comes out now will be very pleased with the experience.

As Chris says, they're pouring one set of concrete tee pads for one course next week, and they thinking of doing both courses while they're at it.

Hey Kyle how did you like the hole we dubbed "Black Friday"? Once the fairway on each side is mowed it will be a great hole. Ask me why I call it Black Friday?

Remind me which was original hole 3. I can't remember?

I have been told both courses will be lite sometime soon.



"Lit" or "lighted" but not lite. **** foreigners. Learn the freakin' language already, sheesh. :D

I can't wait to see this place. Hope to get out there soon.

**** literaries..... :D

will this be the jewel of centex in the future?

I think that hole, #13 right, was a nice hole. True par four. Three is definately possible, but would require two great shots and a putt. Can't wait until things are mowed. I definately will look forward to playing this course again. I did think I did pretty well throwing flicks and thumbers off of one leg though!! Playing golf with a pulled hamstring is not the brightest thing i've ever done. And the last three holes back up the hill were kind of brutal.

Old three was basically what is now 16 i guess, but backwards. Was about a 400 footer downhill. Playing back up that hill now makes it challenging and I definately like what is now 17, very nice hole there. Two of those holes that we discussed you put in pretty much exactly as we discussed them.

pulled hammy!!!! ouch!!! :confused:

My buddy talked to parks last week! Everthing is set. I cant wait! Thank you everyone for the info.

O crap I almost forgot. Can anyone tell me about the camping facilities. Like is there lots of trees or is it a field. I was going to sleep in a hammock but if there are no tree it makes it hard to hang a hammock.

As some of you know I am spending a little time working at the new Twin Parks Country Club in Dripping Springs (25 minutes from Austin).

Things are coming along well despite the weather lately. There are now 18 concrete tees on Park Hill and the next sunny few days the 18 on the Parkshire course will be poured.

The 5200 square foot clubhouse has recovered from the rains to being back on target for a Christmas finish.

What many people don't know is we have also been building an incredible Mountain Bike Course. When it's complete it will measure around 5 miles long and already features some amazing jumps, curves etc.

That brings me to the topic...Sunday Mountain Biking.
This Sunday from 9am to 3pm come along, bring your bike and join some of the best riders around in testing what has been built so far. We will have a couple of micro brew kegs for everyone to share. Don't forget your disc bag also :D


Call me at 512-289-2299 if you need any help or go to www.twinparkscountryclub.com (http://www.twinparkscountryclub.com) for directions etc.

A brand new membership special is being announced Sunday so bring your checkbook...it will be worth it :)

See you all Sunday.

Chris

I just read this some where else :D
Good to hear! I don't know about falling down mountains. But I need to get out there and do some reveiwing

Seems like I heard some talk of a little venture down to TPCC this weekend...

Who is going?

The cement tee pads for the Parkshire course are being poured today! Just waiting for the cement truck to arrive. By the weekend they will be ready to go.

Looks like nice weather so come on out I may be here to show you around.

yes who is all heading out there on Sat?

Myself and others spent yesterday out at the TPCC and had a great day. The Shire course was a little more difficult teeing off around the tee pad forms, but sounds like that is fixed as of today. This course is fairly uneventful, but hole lengths and design is what you would appreciate from a solid, flat Texas course.
500 ft SideWinder rollers are a lot of fun :D
The Hill course has a lot to offer. Some great views, and cool tee shots. I almost pulled a 54 off on the Hill first time through which felt like that would have been very solid. This course alone will be worth the trip out there when it is all said and done. A beautiful property and the clubhouse is gonna rock!
Again, like all 100+ acre ranches, much work left to be done. And be careful, I'm still feeling the rock in my back after vaulting off one of the tee pads. Thought I was on the Mtn bike course The group held their breath until I started laughing and then it was all over.
Hole #9 on hill will be an awesome signature birdie hole, but needs that branch on tee pad removed. It is supposed to keep you in control and forces a low power shot, but the hole is so cool that even with it removed you are left to an accurate throw over the lagoon.
We really enjoyed the challenge of the hill and finished the round playing the last 550ft hole #18 with a rosey glow sunset off in the Hill Country and a nicely lit solar basket showing us the way.
Check it out, this place is going to be very cool!

I'm thinking of making a trip out there on Saturday.

Are we welcome to bring our well-behaved dogs along for the day? I'd like to bring my lab along if it's kosher.

hmmmm
Call on the dog. Buy would dought it.

I can usually decipher your stuff, Vinnie...but I have no idea what that means.

call twin parks. V doubts dog will be allowed

You are welcome at the moment to bring your dog but it will have to stay in the area of the property near the main house. The courses have too many deer and elk for dogs to be around.

5 tee pads were poured on the Shire course today. I hope the rest will happen tomorrow.

I will be working Sunday if anyone wants the grand tour on the mule.

Painting has begun in the clubhouse and it looks great. Not long now we hope. Look for a Feb opening weekend / fun day.

Any quesitons just let me know.

Thanks
Chris

looking forward to feb. this is a really cool thing!!!

I didn't proof read....but yes ware got it.

V are you going to call for the sat noon tee time?

( 512) 796-3075

i wanna play! i wanna play!

dont know if i can swing sunday- supposed to be on call :(

so is sat going to happen who is going?

so far ware,ricky, bryce, vinnie, john e., me and maybe Brian S from live oak and maybe YOU!

I'm in if I can find directions!

sounds like a blast!!!

web site (http://www.twinparkscountryclub.com)

How much is a visitor pass again?

call and talk to the owner !!!

Call Park on 512-796-3075 for pricing info. Tell him you know me :D

Directions are easy but you will need to call ahead to get the gate code.

From Austin:
Hwy 290 towards Dripping Springs
After you pass the Polo Club on your left get into the middle lane.
You will be turning left on Hay Country Acres Road. It is at the top of a small hill.
Follow the winding road for about 3/4 of a mile it then turns sharp left. Twin Parks is about 400 yards on your left. You will see the metal gate and stone wall (A sign is being made).

From SA or San Marcos area:
It is easier to go through Wimberley then Austin.
From the intersection on Hwy 12 and RR290 in Wimberley (Pizza Hut area) head north towards Dripping Springs.
Turn right on Hwy 290 heading towards Austin.
You will turn right on Hays Country Acres Road about 3 1/2 miles out. Then follow the directions above to the course.

I will be working out there all weekend so if you need anything and can't get a hold of Park call me at 512-289-2299.

Thanks
Chris

is the track a bicycle or motorcycle track!!!

Its a mountain biking trail fool!

Its a mountain biking trail fool!

Yeh fool!!!!!!! :D

Its a mountain biking trail fool!



question for a credible source! I thought justin said something about motocross!!

I am in for Saturday and the guy said "first timers" are free.


Dont even say it. :D

yeah , after the first time your hooked!!! then what!!!

the turn out gets better and better! we can have a full blown mini out there!

question for a credible source! I thought justin said something about motocross!!



I think what was meant was Mountain Cross. By spring you will have 3 types of trails, Mountain Cross, Single Track and Downhill. Don't even think about the downhill, it is for experts only. I saw those guys jump (and land) and it is crazy. Bring your bike if you want it is fun.

Definately no motocycles. However you should see us fly around on the mule :D

There is a special on memberships that Park will show you on the weekend. Here is a hint...if you live more than 50 miles from the course it is only $50 per year :D

I wonder when the first tourney will be? tx10 maybe!! i heard great things from justin!!

dang and someone stole my mountain bike out of my garage a couple weeks ago fother mucker!!

What if you live more than 200 miles from the course ?

tomorrow looks like a great day to play some golf....steaks afterwards with good drink and frinds

**** that sounds good!!!

If its over 200 miles....I think they will pay you! ( with appropriate ID)

I hope John e got the message. I pmed him but no responce.
Someone call him I don't have his phone#

chris said he was meeting us at his house

fun!
still haven't played the shire but as soon as the concrete is in, I'll have to giver a try.
The Hill has concrete and overall better than when I first played it. TLC and a chainsaw would make the hill course even better. And I hear tell its in the works. The club house is really starting to shape up. It will be interesting thing when all said and done.

yes very nice when all said and done. Basket # 2 on the hill course could use a little trimming of some old branches. No way to make the putt if you drive it over 452feet. basket is at 450. Both Courses and the overall feel of the place is going in the right direction. Keep up the good work

We had a good time. I think working out a "work for membership" would be cool. Hours of work could be used for a discounted membership????

But for real the courses are beautiful and the price is really good if you live 50 miles or more away its $75.00 per family and $50.00 for individual membership. The club house will be really nice and cozy once its finished. Nothing like playing disc golf while watching a beautiful sunset, and then seeing deer and elk run through the course. Beautiful piece of property. Keep up the good work Chris and Park.

Are allthe tees poured on the shire yet?

should be!!

All the Pro tees on Park Shire are done except for Holes 17 and 18.

All but those 2 holes now also have the short "Ace Tees" with cement.

The Championship cement tees will happen in the new year.

I will be looking after the Country Club from Thursday this week for about 10 days while Park is on vacation. In that time I will be getting all the dirt around the new cement tees smoothed out and looking good.

The Country Club is still slow but getting there. The lights are in, the painting is done and we are just waiting on the flooring. After that the landscaping will start. After that the fun with the inside decorating starts.

when will all tees be done for the shire? I would like to make it out there.

Hey Chris, what's going on in your world these days? Any updates on Twin Parks courses? I also was wondering if you have a link to the Twin Parks website...
Thanks alot
Jay Tee

try this one www.twinparkscountryclub.com (http://www.twinparkscountryclub.com)

Chris,

How can I contact you about coming out Friday morning for a round of golf?

I've been wanting to take a look at this country club.

Thanx Efrain..

Call me at 512-289-2299 and I will give you the details.

What's the latest on this place? Disc golf paradise or what?

I'm gonna vacation down to Texas from Kansas and thought Dripping Springs and Wimberly would make for an excellent day of disc golf.

It's an exceptional set of courses, and a first class facility too.

Wimberely and TPCC would make TWO great days of golf. After two rounds at Wimberley, I'm seldom ever up for any more golf that day (two very big and rugged courses). Same for TPCC.

Disc Golf Paradise was right! This place is the direction disc golf should be going. I wrote this course a good review under the "best TX courses" thread. Keep up the fine work!

Thank you so much for the kind words. We're glad you enjoyed our courses. Hope to see you back down this way soon. Maybe you can make the Huck Fest at the end of February.

Rooster, we'd love to see you back out here, buddy. Ace Pot's over $400 now!

How'd you like our Central Texas winter weather? Hope you brought along some shorts to play in...

Who's playing in this thing this weekend?

Not sure if I can get out tomorrow, but I'm fairly certain I'll be playing the shire course on Sunday.

Is the course open today for a practice round?

The course is open everday, Robbie. Come on out and see all the improvements!

I'll be out there on Saturday and looking forward to watching Pats and Broncos in the clubhouse after the round. :cool:

The course is open everday, Robbie. Come on out and see all the improvements!



I'm planning on being out there around 2:30 today --- do I need to call ahead and get the gate code? Or is there a phone # posted outside the gate once I get there?

Oh, and can I bring my dog today?

I called twin parks and they told me the gate would be open. If not the phone number is on the website. Get there by 11 and we can play the other course first!

By 11:00? It's already 1:30 --- I'm heading out there today and then again on Sunday.

I plan on being out there fairly early on Sunday, though.

I'll be out there for both, and I think Bert is planning on being there both days too.

I thought you were talking about Sat. I'll be there tomorrow. Tomorrow nice and not too windy. Sunday is supposed to be very windy as of reports last night.

rooster is a SKEERED of the hill course!!! :eek:

It was windy today, too.

Scared of the hill course? Hardly.

Scared of my wife if I didn't install a new disposal in the sink tomorrow (which I've been promising to do for about a month now)? Definitely.

should have done that yestersay :D

scores from Sat and Sun???

Don't know about yesterday's rounds out on the hill...

But today, Dagon wins open (not sure of the score), while Vinnie and Landers tie for second with a 56.

Ric Johnson wins Adv with a 62, and Micha was second with a 64.

Gordo won Rec, I think.

Extremely windy, but a good time. I was really impressed with how well my new Star Wraith flew in the very windy conditions.

Great weekend. I don't have any scores, because I didn't run or play in any of the minis. I can tell you, however that there were great turnouts for all minis this weekend, and everyone seemed to have a great time. I would like to thank Waterloo and the South Side Ducky Club for choosing Twin Parks, and we hope to see a lot of you back out here tonight for our $500 ace pot. If it's raining in Austin, make sure you call us before you decide not to play.....we don't usually get the same weather as Austin.
Anyway, thanks again to Gordon and Sheldon, and all the rest of the Waterloo clan, as well as Jerry Vela and Aaron Stair from the Ducky Club for making this weekend such a blast. Talk to you guys soon.

i know donovan wilson tied martin rendon for first in advanced on the hill with a 60

i think the best open score was 57 but am not sure

donovan closed his round with two circle fives but still managed to tie for the win

martin rendon

adv you sure about that? what time does the mini start? say it ain't glow!!

Mini starts at 6:30......it's glow, and EVERYONE shoots from the ace tees. :cool: 17 chances at $500!

SORRY DONOVAN TIED RANDY MORENO I'M ALMOST POSITIVE
FOR SOME REASON I ALWAYS GET THOSE TWO NAMES CONFUSED

MORENORENDON ITS CONFUSING

is this mini still happening? if so what is the entry, start time and size of the ace pot?

Yup, every Monday at 6:30. Entry fee is $5 +$5 ace for ams, and $8 +$5 ace for pros. While the tournament is at night, everyone shoots from the ace tees. This gives everyone at least 16 chances at the ace. Ace pot has been at $500 for about 5 weeks now. The back-up pot is catching up!! 6:30 tonight....be there.

Also, don't forget to mark the 25th on your calendars for the Hill Country Huck Fest.

18 holes = 18 chances :D
-
I haven't been to TPCC since the TX10 there, are there any changes to the courses or club house? Is the Bar open & how about the Poker nights? I'm not sure yet, but im trying to make The Hill Country Huck Fest.

Lots of changes since then. Monday minis are a good time to come out, because there are no greens fees. Yes, we DO sell beer now, and, unfortunetely, we no longer have poker due to the fact that TABC frowns on gambling in a place that serves alcohol.
The Huck Fest will be a blast, I hope you can make it.

dang it had to work late. will try next week for sure. PLease say NO ACES 2 nite :D

No Aces. And the back-up is up to $425. Joe T took open for the fourth week in a row. Scores below.....

Open
Joe T 45 $40
Martin 48 $20
Bill W 48 $20
Josh 49 $8
Pete 51
Billy M 52
Brandon 52
Dave D 53
Daniel 55
Martin T 56
Keith 57

Advanced
Rocky 50 $20
Corey 51 $7.50
Nick 51 $7.50
Matt 53
Shawn 57
Mike H 58
Zach 59

Am
Derek 58 $10
Mark 61 $5
Kurt 74

See you guys next week.

The ace pot finally falls, Dave Durham hit hole 7 last night for $600. There's still a $500 backup waiting to be hit. We need more open players to come out, only 4 last night. :(

With Daylight Savings now in effect, what time is tee-off? Is it "day golf" now, or is it still glow-golf at night?

The tournament will now be flex entry from 4:00-7:00, shooting from the white tees. We have also added a skins option. Skins is $5 extra. The ace pot is at $500. Also, there will be a night mini as soon as the sun goes down (so the start time will change throughout the summer). Cost on that is $10 for all divisions.
