Emerald Bay Country Club

Emerald Bay CC is private club nestled along the shores of Lake Palestine. This scenic course features narrow, tree-lined fairways and large, elevated greens. Surprisingly, there’s not much water on the course, but three of the holes force a carry to the green.

The signature hole is No. 14, a 563-yard par 5 requiring a tee shot up a very narrow (20 yards wide), tree-lined fairway, then an approach shot over some oak and pecan trees to the green. The front nine features only one par 5–a 562-yard monster.

Getting there : From downtown Bullard, head southwest on Hwy. 344 until you come to a four-way stop. Drive 2 miles and look for the course on the left.
