Since being purchased by the Abilene Country Club, this course has returned to the conditions of its glory days as a PGA venue. The greens are in great condition (some have been rebuilt) and the quality of the sand in the bunkers has recently been improved (I know from personal experience.) Anytime I have taken out of town guests to this course, they are amazed at the amount of water in play at this west Texas gem of a golf course.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
