About

This course was amed after Mildred "Babe" Didriksen Zaharias, who is considered one of the greatest athletes of all time-she won two gold medals in the 1932 Olympics and excelled in every sport she ever tried. This Leon Howard-designed 18-holer is burdened by the Gulf winds but is generally hacker-friendly, tipping out at only 6,700 yards and offering minimal water hazards.

Getting there : From Port Arthur, take Hwy. 69 to Jimmy Johnson Blvd. and turn right

Poor Condition

This course is not known for even average course conditions but the greens are almost unplayable right now.

good course for the money

Fairways were good, greens still need a little work, but overall a fun course to play.

Go have fun

First time playing the course, typically beaumont course. Not in great shape, tons of ant hills. Some greens in decent shape. I enjoyed my time out there despite the condition. Some challenging holes to place.

Drive slow in fairways

Rough fairways, need a little water, grass sparse
greens were surprisingly nice. If you play the ball up
up can find some grass in fairway, But for the money it was good

Bad Ride

The fairways are full of potholes needs to level and sand the course. The greens are coming back after a bad winter.

Horrible

If you like playing golf on dirt and feel like having back surgery because of the potholes then this is the place for you.
