Detailed description of Elm Grove Golf Club, CLOSED 2009

Elm Grove Golf Club is a Semi-Private 18 hole golf course located in Lubbock, Texas.

Designed by W. G. McMillen, the Elm Grove golf course opened in 1959 as a nine-hole layout. The expansion of the course to 18-holes was designed by his son, W.G. "Bill" McMillan Jr.

The fairways are tree lined, but they afford generous landing areas, and the greens are large. Sand bunkers incorporated into the course's design, and water hazards (ponds) come into play on at least three separate occasions.

Par for the course is 71. From the back tees the course plays to 6,401 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 5,480 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 14, a par-5 that plays to 530 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 5, a par-3 that plays to 137 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 12, a 454 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 5, a 137 yard par-3.
