    OK, I've been trying to find a GOOD public court to play at. I'd play on campus but some of the guys I run with aren't students at UT. Where in Austin is there a decent court?

    there used to be some goals down in shoal creek. i used to play there back in the day. also used to play at st. edward's court for some reason. hmmm, that was long ago. is there a court on top of that coop across from harry ransom center? the intramural leagues at UT are highly recommended. my team was the taxi drivers. we were terrible yet feared.

    There's a decent outdoor court where people play quite often. Not sure what the exact street name, but say you're trying to get onto MoPac S from Windsor, you have to drive through a neighborhood to get on the freeway, it will be on your right hand side.

    There is this court in an apartment comlplex at Farwest. Corner of North Hills and something else. It is across from my old complex Oak Ridge. The court is in the nicest complex in that area so you can't miss it.

    Man we used to play at Hancock. That court sucked.

    most of them have already been said. but the best two places by far, are the clark field courts that are close to the football stadium and then gregory gym, especially in the summer, you can get in pickup games with a lot of current and former UT players.
