Golf With Great Lake Views

If you enjoy golf with views of a lake on almost every hole, Cleburne Links is the place for you.
The Links plays mostly north and south - wind with you on the front and against you on the back (for the most part).
There is ample space here with generous driving areas, and nary a bunker to impede your approach to the greens.
The greens have plenty of internal movement, and going long generally puts you in a steep catchment area - be short and below the hole if you can.
The par-3's all play to a different direction - basically N,S,E & W. A couple of them are uphill and play over water. #8 plays out into the lake - very peaceful out on that green.
Holes 5 and 12 share a great big double green, and #5 has a double fairway - I played it to the right with success.
I was running a little late for my prepaid time, called the pro-shop and Jimmy said "no problem, we'll fit you in" - and he did. Nice people running this course - right down to Felix out there on a mower.
It was a good golf experience for me - I think you'll like it too.

Very good course

The staff was friendly and the club house was very well maintained. The golf cart ran out of power but they quickly got us another one. I Like the layout and the challenge. It was a good value for the price

Needs watering

I won't complain to much because I only paid $15 for the round. The course was a little dry but a lot of texas courses are right now. The course was pretty wide open when I got there 1 hour early and I expected to wait for my tee time which I did. The problem was that they were starting a tournament exactly at my tee time so they took us to hole 7 to start. Knowing they had the tournament it would have made more sense to have us start when we arrive so we would be out of the way but like I said it was $15. It just added 2 hours to our round. I would play again for $15 but not much more.

Cleburne in December

We played this course December 21, 2012 and it was in great shape for winter conditions. The tee boxes were not so hard that you could not stick a tee in them. The fairways were just right for lift your ball to the green or for a lay up. The tees were fast and the holes were placed in challangling places on each green. The staff was very friendly and glad to see you. We always enjoy ourselves when we play this course.

Very Good Links Course

Course layout is very different with the front 9 ending and back 9 starting well away from the clubhouse. Holes 5 and 12 share the same green but is manageable and not confusing. Clubhouse is extremely nice. Holes 16 thru 18 finish off with a gorgeous lake view as well as hole 1. The only thing lacking is bunker play on this "links" course. The drive was far but for $15 including a cart made it worthwhile.
