Mustang Creek Golf Course

Mustang Creek reportedly opened in 1915 as Taylor Country Club and remained private until 1989, when the course was brought public due to a lack of members. This course is easy to play, very affordable, and offers the chance for a quick 9-hole round of golf.

The layout sits in open, rolling terrain, so wind can be a factor when it’s blowing hard. Uneven lies are common here, and you’ll find yourself hitting many uphill and downhill shots. Water comes into play on two holes, particularly the opening hole, where water is everywhere.

The course isn’t long, but the trick is to get used to the extremely small greens. To score well you’ll need a few up and downs.

There is an extra hole that serves as the 18th hole when playing the second time around..

Getting there : From Austin, take I-35 north, then turn north on Hwy. 79. Take the Loop Route (which is still Hwy. 79) and follow the signs to the course.
