Zilker Park DGC

"Only played front 9, and aside from finding the path to hole 3 it’s a really nice course. Tee pads are super nice, fairways on front 9 are not badly overgrown, and it wasn’t super crowded when we went. Would go back and play the full 18. "

"Watch out for the pay to park signs. From out of town and never saw them. 20$ tickets. Never coming back. "

"Great vibes "

"Great use of limited space. Thoughtfully designed. Clean. "

"Beautiful course - technical, with not many holes past 350ft. Super green and lush right now. Popular, so be prepared to queue up, but it was a great intro to Austin"

"Too many Sod Mounds finish construction 🚧 "

" Wet busy and the holes are right on top of each other. Fairly easy course but has a few tougher holes. "

"Easy fun and nice grounds"

"Construction between 2 basket and 3 tee results in a long walk. Unless you are using u disc it can be a little confusing where to go from hole to hole in a few places. However it's a fun course with tight lines and a variety of shots"

"Nice flat course with pretty open fairways. Tee boxes have Great directions easy to follow. "

"Fun, easy city park. Good tee boxes, easy to navigate. "

"Fun lil course rt downtown w Beautiful views of the city's skyline. Going through changes, not sure how long it will take but we'll have to wait to see the results... "

"Great city course "

"Harder holes"

"Very short but well maintained course. It’s OK for carts but I highly recommend bringing a bag."

"birdie course with quite a few ace-able holes. really nice layout in a beautiful, historic park. lots of rock and roots to frustrate your ground play, blind shots, great tee pads, signs and baskets. this is a busy course, though. If you're solo, I'd try to latch on to a group. People here have always been super friendly to me"

"Course was ok. I felt the layout could be a little better. "

"Fun layout, pretty well maintained, not too hard in January with minimal foliage. Played twice and felt like I was able to improve. Excited to play again!"

"Just remove or finish the construction fence "

"If Chris Beard wasn’t a stupid ding dong, I would have given it five stars. "

"Great "

"Got lost on the way to hole 3 bc of construction, saw signs but still fooled me haha"

"Wide open with a few slightly wooded holes. Great for beginners with a few technical holes still."

"Fun short course. Good mix of open and wooded holes. The back 9 can be tough if it’s windy. "

"Good for beginners "

"Easy course "

"Fun short course. Some easier birdies on the front nine. Fairly open back nine. Would play again if I were in the area."

"Real nice par 3 with a little construction going on. "

"Very fun and approachable course. Will be back."

"Hole 3 is confusing to find, but thanks to some super friendly locals, I was able to get going on it. It gets crowded pretty quick, but in true disc golfer fashion folks let me play through solo and I even ended up jumping on a card with some guys because we all got backed up. Love the community and the course. "

"Confusing because of construction, a lot of the holes are really bland or short. One of the holes is next to the road and you usually have to wait for cars and people to cross for like 2-5 minutes to tee off which can create back ups"

"Good design, fun to play just needs more trash/recycling cans. "

" Very fun course!!"

"Very nice course design and really really nice teepads"

"Fun, short course. A lot of wide open tee shots. Well maintained and nice views of the city. Decent amount of shade throughout the course. "

"Well done "

"Layout was fun to play. This course is great for beginners. There was construction going on, but otherwise it was easy to follow. "

"Simple shots, well designed, beginner friendly but fun for moderate and advanced players too."

"Great Course! When finishing hole 2 go around to the front side of the construction fence or else you’ll be sent up towards the road which you don’t want! "

"Hard to get to this weekend because of ACL festival but course is open. "

"Fun 300 foot course "

"Great place in TX"

"It’s lovely out here"

"Craig is a sore looser"

"Great easy beginner course. Great for first timers!"

"Solid simple course, brought strollers and 1000 kids with us. "

"Way to busy"

"Well designed beginner friendly course! "

"Great if you are in the area and want to play a round with mids and/or putters. Otherwise, find a better course. "

"Decent free park with good tees and baskets. Generally short holes, layout isn’t too tough but I did have to ask locals where the next tee was a few times. I played in the boiling hot TX summer but there was still a nice breeze and enough tree shade to keep it manageable. Don’t like throwing over roads but only a few shots required this. Absolutely would play again."

"New 3 and 4 are great additions and make the front 9 much more challenging. One of the best par 3 courses in austin! "

"2nd best course in Atx"

" BFF. D "

"Nice course for practicing. 200-300ft straight shots."

"Short and fun, a variety of shot types despite the length. Had a lot of fun as a beginner/intermediate player"

"Awesome course and upkeep has been great. Can’t wait to see renovations "

"Bit cluttered in places but overall fun and very well-maintained. The new holes are a great addition. "

"Loving the new #3 and #4, they add a bit more technical woods action. A real fun solid course for casual and intermediate play. Popular course, and many of the fairways come pretty close to other fairways or tee pads, so keep your eyes peeled and take it easy"

"Really nice course. T pads are great, natural flow to find next hole. Challenging and yet allows possibility to score well. "

"Cute enough. Tons of park users for non disc golf. Multiple throws next to or on road. Many holes that could be dangerous. Very easy beginner course if you want a feel good round. "

"Construction."

"Quick 18 with the best views in Austin. The temporary holes kind of suck because of the tee pads and traffic can be a lot but I love to get a zilker game in at least once per month "

"Great for location and ease of use. There are better courses, but not for a quick session near work "

"A fun, not particularly difficult course with just enough trees to make some shots interesting."

"Fun short course"

"Fun course. Very easy if you are LHBH. No water or much OB. "

"Easy and approachable but still has fun lines. Maybe the city won't ruin it if I give it 5 stars."

"Beautiful "

"Heavy foot traffic, but a nice open course that uses the trees well."

"Nice course. But lots of similar 250ish straight shots."

"Great park style course! Nice looking park and enjoyed the elevation changes. Good for beginners and still enough challenges for better players."

"Great upkeep, not awfully technical but super fun "

"Love it. And close to downtown "

"Fun course for all around players. "

"Perfect course for the advanced beginner to work on placement and avoiding trees. Love this course."

"Recently had mulch in. Fun layout and well kept. "

"Cool course. I’d like to come back when the construction is done. "

"Location is everything. It’s cool to play with downtown as your backdrop. Tee boxes are great, chains are pro. Front 9 being worked on but for the most part is a bunch of sub 300 par 3’s that are easy enough but you get to throw a few different shots. Back 9 is way more fun, and easy to jump off of for a quick 9. It has some longer holes but all par 3’s. Some really fun shots. Pro move; warm up on the temp holes a few times before going off the back or for 18. "

"Pitch and putt. Nice park, great shape. "

"Great park!! Fun layout, holes aren’t too big and you don’t get in too much trouble. Beautiful oaks to play around!"

"This is a nice course for being in a park. It does lack a little variety, but for the space it is in, it is well-designed. I can imagine it being busy on the weekend, but I didn’t experience this. "

"my one and only"

"Nice straightforward course. "

"The location makes this course special. It's right in the middle of everything. The course itself is fine, but you're pretty much just throwing open 250 foot drives or less for the first 9. Back is more fun. For ATX this is probably one of the least interesting 18 holes around. Drive 20 mins north or 10 mins south and you've got some stellar courses with less people traffic. All that said, this course is a great compromise if you want to meet up with people around the city to play a round."

"Fun, open course. Good for any level of player. Let your favorite putter fly! Lots of people tho and they all got dogs "

"Signage for temp holes is great, course is dry and playing well"

"Great for night golf "

"Great course for beginners but extremely crowded. "

"Over crowded "

"Couple weird ones due to construction, but fun little course"

"Great for what it is. Nice, short course."

"Short beginner friendly. Lots of fun lines "

" Great course overall. Somewhat short. Not that many challenging holes. But right in town and super fun."

"Great, fun short course"

"Decent course pretty open "

"In from out of town. Fun Course! "

"My 'Home' course for many years. "

"Solid disc golf course. Lots of easy ace runs. Could be more creative in the early holes…"

"Short but fun city park course. "

"Clear understanding of players and course hole 6 is a blind throw"

"3 temporarily gone and 4 will be gone forever once renavations are done. New baskets are 7a and 7b. Needs a practice basket and some triming too see other players so you can safely yell 4. Other than that. Yell 4 every throw."

"Never change Zilker!"

"Very chill course. Perfect for dragging your beginner friends out for a few beers and a good time. "

"Very short holes except for maybe 2 or 3. Easy pars "

"Home course, freshly mowed!!!!!!!! Couldn’t believe I could see my disc land with no brush in the way"

"Fun, but super short and easy. No technical holes. In good condition with good signage."

"Open course with a lot of shorter holes. Back nine is a little more challenging and longer. Great beginner course with some fun putts."

"Freshly mowed!"

"Nice "

"Easy course to play! Fun one"

"Fun par 3 course! Good variety of shots. If you have a decent BH and FH you are set! Worth playing. "

"Good open course "

"Great short course! Good for beginners and if you want to practice tight lines down the gut "

"holes are very short. Got about 6 strokes less than most courses "

"Not the best, but was still a blast. Just a little too muddy but the conditions were fair "

"Fun pretty open par 3s "

"Cut the grass!"

"Definitely some branches that need to be trimmed, and the grass is over grown, but overall a fun course. "

"So many bugs "

"Easy little course of par 3's. Very well maintained. Perfect for a pre-workday round if you get there at sunrise. FYI, holes 3 + 4 are currently removed. There are two temp holes after 7 to replace them."

"Nice course with a bunch of short throws "

"Needs mowing pretty bad"

"Good challenging course, B9 can be tricky"

"Super fun"

"Good, well kept course. Pretty Short, but good for beginners."

"Great course. A little crowded on the weekends "

"Nice and short. Lotta overlap and generally super busy "

"Some par 4 woulda been nice - a little crowded, but good overall."

"Fun beginners course, helps with putting and managing obstacles! Really good course for overhand throwers!"

"Solid course nice pads and signage. Great flow that brings you back to the lot on holes 9 and 18. Great variety of shots. Cons are a few blind shots, and throwing near roads paths, and other fairways. Solid overall. "

"One of the best I’ve played at!"

"Can get very busy. Bring your patience and you’ll enjoy it much more. Front 9 is very short. Back 9 opens up for some longer throws"

"Good easy course. Can get windy and crowded "

"All par 3s not much variation "

"Austin’s most perfectly placed course, easy pitch-n-putt, excellent beginner course or to practice your approach game. Can get extremely crowded "

"Busy but super fun!"

"Good course. A lot of people"

"Really fun short course."

"Fun public park course, mostly short, straight par 3 holes. Bring some mid-ranges and putters to have an afternoon!"

"Pretty well maintained with good signs and teeboxes. I would appreciate a bit more shot variety. Most were just wide open shots. Also gets pretty crowded here, obviously."

"Pretty wet and muddy around the baskets as to be expected with the rain this week"

"Fun quick par 3 course. Nothing challenging distance wise but some of the holes are well defended by trees"

"Stopped into Austin on the way to San Antonio to visit family-this course is biking or jogging distance to downtown. Flat. Lightly wooded. Some holes were annoyingly technical with the trees right in the tee box and a few high angled tee offs but besides that it’s fairly flat. Clean. The tee pads are nice as are the paths between them. I threw my best round here (8. Work in progress)! The baskets are not moved. Hole 10 is to the right of hole 9 across the road in case you get lost! "

"Fun course, very busy "

"So fun, great variety "

"Rained today and it drained really nice"

"Pretty open easy course. Very crowded"

"Decently challenging course, but super crowded and people play slow. Expect an average 3 hours for 18 holes. "

"Fun course. Good scenery. Nice tees. Biggest negative is the very repetitive shots. "

"Good course! Very well maintained and good for beginners & intermediate players. Can get very crowded on weekends or even weekday afternoon/evenings during good weather "

"Fun short course. Lots of 200-300ft shots. Great for beginners. Course is normally pretty busy. Best time to go is during the week in the morning or early afternoon. Parking is hard to find on the weekends."

"Great course downtown - shorter holes. Lots of frolfers. Holes can be close together at times. Construction complete on holes 3 and 4, very nicely done. An easy five stars "

"Bring your straightest discs"

"Fun, but challenging. "

"Nice course, often busy given its location in Zilker and Austin, relatively short and limited obstacles, good for all levels"

"Winter "

"Goated"

"Please help save Zilker from getting trashed by city planning. Let your voice be heard. Save our course"

"Lost a disc here 10/22. Red Shryke 165g please text 214-901-8559 if found"

"Good par 3 course "

"Fun well kept course. Lots of shorter holes, sparse trees. "

"Fun lines and well maintained. "

"Great course "

"Beginner friendly."

"Grass is in desperate need of a mow "

"Grass is a little long. Could use a bit of upkeep"

"Pretty overgrown. "

"Just a little high grass but a fun course! "

"Grass is a little thick and high in some parts. Know that it is kinda part of the course but felt a bit egregious. Everything else perfect. "

"Favorite place to play "

"Could still use a fresh mow."

"Busy! Needs to be mowed. "

"Grass is a little long but still a great course. So glad it’s back!"

"Back 9 needs mowing on fairways at the very least"

"Beautiful good upkeep great tres"

"It’s a fun little course. It is almost always really crowded and some of the holes are near a big road which takes away from the experience "

"Never played and thoroughly impressed. Mowed and easy to find discs. Still challenging tree lines. "

"Nice easy course, typically crowded. Good upkeep"

"Bags on holes due to Covid - closed but no one saw use playing. Grass off fairways was short so it was easy to find discs "

"Baskets are bagged up "

"New design is awesome. Good job to the community thanks for keeping this course a classic "

"Amazingly pretty and accessible course. Only negative is high number of short holes"

"Very, very, very busy..."

"Could be mowed a little more thoroughly. I’d rather play the Riverey "

"Beautiful, classic, must-play Austin course. Easy to pick up, but hard to master. A little repetitive in a few spots, but throughout the whole course, many different shot types required. Generally always well-kept and well-mowed. Great for night golf too!!"

"Gets dark at 6 now…"

"Great for beginners to intermediate. Not too many trees"

"Course is drying out well."

"Going through some course changes at the moment so a couple holes are inaccessible/replaced still, but rest of the course is in good shape. Some branches and big trees down, but nothing significantly blocking. "

"Great at night! "

"Great for beginners. All the holes are straightforward. Great tee boxes. Almost every shot is easily seen from the tees so accessibility is great as well. The green is nice and trim as well. Overall, nice course."

"Took my ten year old out this past weekend and had a blast. Only played the first 9. But everything is marked and easy to follow and in great shape. "

"Fun course with a few good lines. A mix of shorter and longer holes, open and tight, but tends toward short and open for the most part. Usually well maintained. A great beginner course."

"Front 9 is freshly mowed and ready for Safari!"

"Some pretty tall grass in the rough and hard to find your disc fareway is cut "

"It's rare you can't see a basket from the tee. Well maintained courses with a few trees in the way and opportunities for great throws."

"Love the layout "

"My favorite course as it has many accessible shots and fun layout. "

"Well laid out course. Nice markings on the baskets to lead you to the next hole. Plays rather quickly, locals are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for beginners and advanced players; putter & Roc pro course."

"Well maintained and easy to follow. Fun short course with many similar shots. Great for beginners or a chill round "

"course is hotter than the devils d*ck, made me wanna shove ice cubes up my @ss"

"Needs to be mowed"

"Please fill out the review to stop the destruction of this course"

"Rough is tall. "

"Need to now asap"

"Great friendly beginner course! Tough it’s short, it’s somewhat technical! A variety of wooded & open field holes! "

"short course, great amenities, somewhat repetitive, huge tee boxes "

"Very fun course! Some difficult shots but nothing too bad "

"Fun course! A bit tight, but well kept!"

"Well maintained and popular. Concrete tees and good signage. Mostly runs next to a big highway, so there's almost constant traffic noise."

"Good course. Short and precise front nine. Longer, open and fun back nine. Not a difficult course and you’re in the middle of Austin! "

"Best course in Austin. "

"great easy short holes"

"Great easy course, lots of open holes on the back 9 so windy days can be an issue. Is paid parking occasionally ($5, some weekends and during events at the park)."

"Looks great. Some mounds of diet in a few of the fairways. "

"Well kept"

"Needs a good mow "

"Microfiber towels will get rid of hitchhikers with ease"

"Great course. Lots of challenging holes mixed in with a few gimmes to keep it fun throughout. The city does an amazing job with upkeep, keeping the course clean and well maintained. Would recommend to anyone."
