I joined up for the Play Away with ClubCorp last week after seeing it here on THP. You can check out the original thread and homepage article here.

Me and my wife Carol decided to drive a couple hours up to Austin and check out what the play away program is all about. It turned out to be a perfect way to celebrate me winning a spot in the 2019 Grandaddy. We made reservations at what ClubCorp calls a city club. These are a very nice restaurant / bar with great food that are only open to ClubCorp members. This is the University of Texas club located on the campus of UT overlooking the football stadium.
Lets get started with a captain and coke. The drinks are not complimentary but everything below here is included in my $60 per month membership.
Crab cakes
Filet mignon
Lobster mac n cheese. I thought about JB when I ordered it, It may have been the best thing we ate.
Carol had the red snapper
and garlic mashed potatoes
Not pictured were the salads and two pieces of cheesecake that we took to go because we were stuffed.
First impressions are very positive and I have not even played a single hole of golf. Keep in mind you get two meals and two rounds of golf at EACH of the participating courses and clubs per month and the list is quite impressive. We are off to New Braunfels tomorrow to drink beer and float the Comal river. I have a round booked for Lakeway country club on Monday. This is a very nice facility with four different courses on the premises. I will be sure to review the course on Monday, I need the practice for the Grandaddy!!
I may play goat tracks at home but I roll like Thurston Howell III on vacation HAHA.
