Overview
Just 20 miles east of Austin, Wolfdancer Golf Club feels like two courses in one: The first 12 holes weave through the rolling prairie hills, while the last six are down in the river valley. With contoured greens and ample shot variety, this Arthur Hills design provides a memorable challenge.

“A fun and challenging example of Arthur Hills' work. Excellent use of big slopes and swales with more subtlety around the green complexes and collection areas. A great mix of design features that flows nicely with direction changes against the ever present Texas wind. Particularly standout was the variation amongst the short par 4s, each a different look and challenge."

“Beautiful, serene, and really fun course. It has some teeth, and certainly does not play like a typical "resort" course--this is a serious, tournament type course. Layout is so good around the hills and valleys. Has a majestic, yet isolated and serene feeling. I've played here prob 10 times and make it an annual pilgrimage to play."

“Front 9 classic hill country feel with undulations throughout. Back 9 begins like you’re in the hill country and then suddenly transformed into a parkland style which added to the charm of the course. Good mix of par 3’s, short and long par 4’s, par 5’s with strategically placed bunkering. No houses on the course and you feel really isolated. Course has some nice water features which are well done."

“The distinctiveness of this course is incredible. There is not a single straight hole with 8 dogleg lefts and 6 to the right. Shot options are accentuated with decision making trees strategically placed at holes 2, 7 (off the tee and the approach), 8, 9, 14 (twice), 15, 16 and 18. The combination of horseback riders behind and around tee boxes (at #5 & 11), a dozen hawks gliding above the elevated tee box at #12 and the sparkling waterfall cutting in front of #6 green add aesthetic significance however several rough spots and slower, somewhat inconsistent, greens detract overall. A few shot option and visual enhancement considerations would include adding an elevated tee box (at 30 degrees to the right) at #13, incorporating a 3 water sided peninsula green to a 19th hole with 180 degree tee boxes at the pond in between #14 & 15 with the tree growing on the inlet sticking out 50' into the water. And consider adding a series of ladders/steps into the long fairway bunker on #18."

“Wolfdancer is an excellent course with a wide variety of holes and and shot options that has been set into a beautiful Texas Hill Country location. The architect (Arthur Hills) skillfully incorporated large, specimen trees that shape and influence the playing and placement of tee-shots and approaches. Three short par-4s will tempt even the modest length player to "go for it."
