McCamey Country Club

The course at McCamey CC is private but you should be able to talk your way on. You should: it's a good course with great bent-grass greens, and the conditions would be a lot better if they ever had any rain out here. Take your lip balm, because the wind will be blowing. You'll probably want to leave your camera behind because there's nothing really too picturesque about this golf course. The tees are slightly elevated and there is no water. The bent-grass greens are in unbelievable condition given the circumstances. There are two sets of tees for an 18-hole round.

The No. 1 tee box sits directly in front of the clubhouse and is shaded by a large tree and a pavilion. The opening shot is over the road that leads to the clubhouse.

The scene here is surreal. Ancient golf carts from the 1960s are littered with Crown Royal bottles, empty beer cans, cigarettes, haggard, well-used clubs with worn grips, and other random paraphernalia. Inside the clubhouse, their owners sit partaking of cold beers, smokes, dice, and a football game on the television.
