About
John Bredemus built this course in the late 1930s, and his design makes the most of the flat West Texas terrain. This is an old-school golf course with tree-lined fairways and undulating bent-grass greens. The fairways are wide and the course is a fair test of golf. When the wind blows the course can play difficult, but with only a smattering of water hazards, it's not too tough.
The signature hole is the 215-yard par 3 No. 9. The long shot into the shallow green is challenging, and the swale in the green makes it hard to hold. Other feature holes here are the 560-yard No. 7 that seems to always play into the wind. Off the tee you'll see water right and out-of-bounds left, with a narrow landing area. On the back 9, hole 14 is a 430-yard par 4 with another tee shot into a tight landing area, which generally leaves a long approach into an elevated green.
Getting there : Located east of town. Exit Business 80 off of I-20, then drive a few miles and look for the course.
