Pampa Country Club

Home of the Top of Texas amateur tournament for over 50 years, many of Texas’ great players have flailed away on this course. This is an 18-hole, traditional layout with tree-lined fairways and solid greens; it has a few hills but not much water. If you live more than 50 miles away from Pampa, you do not have to be accompanied by a member to play the course.

Make sure that you’re warmed up for the opening hole, a monster 597-yard par 5. The 422-yard par 4 No. 4 is the feature hole. This long par 4 doglegs left and involves an approach into an elevated green. Hole 11 is another long par 4 featuring a tight fairway that drops into a valley. No. 18 is a challenging finishing hole–441 yards into a tight, dogleg-left fairway.

Getting there : From Downtown Pampa, take Duncan St.to E. Harvester, then drive east to the course.
