Austin, TX. While folks up in the N-E are still freezin', it was over 90 degrees the last couple of days in Austin, double the temp in NYC. We were lucky enough to get in a round yesterday morning, at Grey Rock Golf Club, formerly Circle C. It's conveniently located south-west of the center city, and consistently ranked high in the Austin area for public courses.

It's a lovely course, moderately challenging, with greens of impeccable quality. The greens have very few flat spots and were pretty lush. The course itself was a bit on the dry side, and you could occasionally see dust kick up when balls hit. There's not much tree cover, so we'd assume it's pretty tough playing in the summer sun, but we give it a recommendation.
