The Rawls Course at Texas Tech

This is a gem of course in Lubbock. Everything was absolutely perfect from the tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens. This is a super fair course. Hit a stray ball you most likely will be penalized for it. Keep the ball in the short stuff and you can score. My son and I played the Sunday before classes resumed at Tech so it was packed and we had to wait around on some holes, but that’s to be expected. Our cart had some issues that we were not aware of and the staff brought out not one but two carts to make sure there was no problems. I can’t say enough that this course had the feel of a resort course you would play in the big cities, but it’s public. I will be back and look forward to playing Rawls again.

If you ever get the chance this is one of the best courses in West Texas you need to play, The Rawls Course. My son and I played there the Sunday before classes resumed at Tech, so it was a little slow. But the experience was equivalent to some of the higher end courses you play in DFW, Austin, San Antonio and Houston. Every aspect of the course was exceptional. The course is challenging, stray off the fairway you will be penalized, put the ball on the wrong part of the green, it’s going to cost you. If you keep it in the short grass you’re going to score. It’s a true challenge and throw that West Texas wind in and you are going to play all the shots in your bag. Definitely will be back there to play again. Hopefully my game matches the quality of the course.

This is a very nice course. Not memorable just nice. Let me first say that I played it on a fairly calm wind day. The course is pretty straight forward with no difficulty. The teeth of the course is the greens, and the wind.

I love being able to play this course when it is in impeccable condition, definitely helps improve your score, that is unless you are not in the fairway. The rough is thick and there is no roll and good chance you’ll lose your ball, which makes this course even more fun and challenging.

Amazing course, also challenging but was a beautiful course

Not only the best course for value I’ve ever played. But one of the best course designs there is.

Love Rawls! Always challenging!

NOTE: Be careful when looking for balls in the native grass this time of year!!! We saw a huge rattlesnake!

my only concern were all the dead animals lying around the course

Extremely disappointed with the experience at Rawls Golf Course. I left my range finder in the cart after my round, and when I contacted the staff immediately after, they claimed it was never found. I know for a fact it was left in the cart, and the lack of urgency or concern from the staff was alarming. I strongly believe one of the student workers took it, and the course is now turning a blind eye. This is unacceptable and reflects very poorly on the integrity of the staff. I won’t be returning, and I’ll be warning others to keep a close eye on their belongings here.

Beautiful course great staff. The front nine was a good smooth warm up. And the the back nine the challenge really began. Overall a great time and wonderful experience.
