I have played both courses at Balcones Country Club as a guest a handful of times and like both for the different challenges they present. The front nine at Balcones is fun, but the back nine is extremely demanding, absolutely fantastic. I like the Spicewood course even more. It offers very good holes that test your imagination and shot making abilities. I found the staff to be very professional and courteous. They did not make me feel like I was walking on egg shells. I sometimes feel that way with some of the other stuffy golf courses in Austin. They treated me with respect and gratitude. Overall I highly recommend this country club to anyone who enjoys the great game of golf and would recommend joining. It is the best golfing experience in Austin for the money and I have played nearly every course in and around Austin.
