Bay City Country Club

Bay City's original course dates back to the 1930s-it lays out along the Colorado River with giant old oak trees lining the fairways. In addition to the river, another creek winds through the layout, keeping water in play on just about every hole.

No. 6 is considered the signature not only for the stunning view of the countryside, but for its 185-yard poke over the water. The ender is tough as well, featuring trees along the left, the river on the right, and that pesky creek that fronts the green.

Other notes: A tenth hole was added after the river temporarily swallowed No. 8. Walking is only allowed during the week.

Getting there : From Hwy. 35, turn left on Latuelley, and the course is about a mile away.
