Gopokes14 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 These may not be what I would call favorites because I don't live in Texas anymore. Native Texan. But they are the ones we have enjoyed. Dallas - Texas Star - My wife and I usually travel to or through Dallas every year and we try to play somewhere different each time. But we have played Texas Star every year just because we like the greens, atmosphere, and the scenery cruising around that place. The people there are always so nice. Dallas - Cowboys Golf - We also like Dallas Cowboys but with 2 of us playing that gets pretty expensive. Also we drink beer the whole time and having them include free food in the fees doesn't really pay off much for us. Austin - Falcon Head - We also had a good time in Austin playing here and it wasn't really expensive but it was a really fun layout. hookem9312, artful_golfer and PMookie 3 Quote Cart: Electric Cart Tek 1500 Driver: G430 LST 10.5 Mitsubishi Kai Li white 60 stiff 3 wood: G430 15 Mitsubishi Kai Li white 67 stiff 3 &4 hybrid: 0311 Gen 5 Mitsubishi MMT 80 stiff Irons 5-GW: PXG Gen 3 0311T Steelfiber 115 Wedges: Vokey SM 6’s gw 50.8, sw 56.8, lob 62.8) Putter: O-Works Red Versa #7S slant neck Ball: Vice Pro RXS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMookie Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I’m with you on Barton Creek. I’ve played there many times! San Antonio has some good golf, even the City courses, and I’ve enjoyed playing the TPC, and the Quarry there as well. I played Butterfield Trail in El Paso and loved it. I also like Dallas Star, but I don’t remember the names of courses I’ve played in Dallas.... Been some years ago. East Tx has some very good courses as well, near Longview/Tyler. Courses in Kingwood, Katy, The Woodlands, etc are all better than the public ones IN Houston.

Gopokes14 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) I will also check out Old American. Question for any of you guys. I guess the new requirements have restricted me from applying to be a tester because I only have 8 likes and need 15. Those Ben Hogan Icon irons, made in DFW area, look awesome! Are you guys seeing the same restrictions? Not that they would likely select me anyway, but kind of a drag. Thinking about running by the factory next trip, if they are allowing it during corona virus, and checking them out. Has anyone seen them up close? Kind of a Texas golf subject.

PlaidJacket Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I've played many of the courses listed above and they are good ones for sure. We also have several here and around the local area that are quite good as well. I live in W. Texas and two of the best courses that anyone can play listed below. If any of you guys ever leave the big city areas you'll thank yourself for trying these two. Diamondback in Abilene http://www.diamondbackgolfclub.biz/ - Charles Coody design - always in top condition with impeccable greens - what else would you expect from a former Master champion? Rawls Course in Lubbock https://therawlscourse.com/ - Tom Doak design - very challenging design with great greens and many rugged/wild bunkers. (if you've ever played Pacific Dunes you'll see Doak's architecture style in this course.)

Kind of a Texas golf subject.I was a tester for Ft Worth irons two years ago, and I reached-out to the guys at Hogan HW about coming-by. They said there isn’t much to see there, and kind of discouraged me from stopping. It may have changed by now, but it doesn’t hurt to just give them a call and see if they’re allowing visitors, when is best, and if you need an appointment.This is all you’ll see: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Alecchaseevans and artful_golfer 2 Quote Driver: Ping G430 Max 9*, Ping Tour 70X Fairway: Ping G425 15*, Ping Tour 70X Hybrid: Ping G425 22*, Ping Tour 80X Irons: Ping i230 4-GW, TT DG X100 Wedges: SMS 50D/54V/58DModus 130 stiff, +1” Putter: EAS 1.0 Ball: Titleist 2023 AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alecchaseevans Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 I also just got back from playing 5 rounds in Glen Rose. Squaw Valley has two amazing courses: The Lakes and The Links. Both in GREAT shape, very friendly staff, very affordable and a nice little getaway in a small town. Also shot the best round of my life on the links! 79 for a 5.7 differential!

Really excited to play Sqauw Valley in Glen Rose this weekend. Anyone play it? What're your favorites in Texas?Texas Star, Castle Hills in Lewisville, Wildcat in Houston, Champions (Cypress Creek, of course), Wolfdancer in Bastrop, and Lochinvar in Houston. I worked at Redstone in high school, now Golf Club of Houston, so I've got a spot for the member course, which used to be El Dorado, but idk how it stacks up without my nostalgia! Oh. And if you're ever in Laredo, you've GOT to play The Max. Multiple holes have the Rio Grande as a water hazard and the day I played it, there was only one other group on the course. Probably because it 114 out?

hookem9312 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Sweet thread!!!!! Houston: Gleannloch Pines (Gleann, Loch, Pines) - all three 9 hole courses are well maintained, challenging, and fun. Raveneaux Country Club - grew up playing here while it was private but a developer just purchased it and its public for the next couple of years now Black Horse (South Course) - very challenging course in Cypress, TX Carlton Woods ( Woodlands) - if you can get out there do it. Champions (Cypress Course) - if you can get out there do it. High Meadow (Magnolia) - awesome open course. BUCKET LIST COURSES NOT YET PLAYED IN HOUSTON, TX: Bluejack Golf Club of Houston Austin: Barton Creek Fazio Canyons - Favorite track in all Austin that's accessible. Avery Ranch ( Cedar Park, TX) - challenging, beautiful course. Greens are always consistent and in good shape. WARNING: weekend play is HORRENDOUSLY SLOOOOOW. If you can play during the week, do that. Star Ranch (Hutto, TX) - fun, open, easy to score course. Pace of play never really an issue. Also, a very walkable course. Great practice facilities (2 big putting greens, 2 big pitching/chipping greens, separate bunker pitching green, and large grass range) - highly recommend for a large group, relaxing round and/or confidence building, practice round. Lost Creek CC (Westlake) - fun, challenging private course (club corp club) Twin Creeks (Cedar Park/Volente Beach) - very challenging, Fred Couples designed private course. Shoot well here and you'll crush a high percentage of courses you step onto. HEADS UP: Pace of play at any of the Magnolia Group courses (Avery Ranch, Teravista, Falconhead) - horrible pace of play and over crowded during peak seasons. Courses are in good shape but the overall experience in spring and summer is horrible. Not walkable either. Public tracks: Crystal Falls and Lago Vista are hit or miss with greens quality. Lots of blind tee shots. Greens are inconsistent hole-to-hole and do not hold approach shots consistently. BUCKET LIST COURSES NOT YET PLAYED IN AUSTIN, TX: Spanish Oaks (Bee Cave) Austin Country Club (Westlake) UT Golf Club (Steiner Ranch) Austin Golf Club (Spicewood) Cimarron Hills (Georgetown) Edited July 1, 2020 by hookem9312 Forgot a course in Houston.

Love Pine Dunes, just wish their lodging was better. I would like to have a Ryder Cup style gathering at that course (good neutral location for DFW and Houston) but the lodging is the only thing keeping me away from it. No doubt. Pretty trashy... I thought about this when I came-up 18, and said no way I’d stay in their lodging!

PMookie Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Suggestions in the Tyler/Longview area, other than Pine Dunes, which was an hour-and-a-half from my hotel in Longview. I’ll be there every two weeks or so...
