Plum Creek has everything you could want in a golf course except shade. I think this is what gives the course its "links"-type reputation, but I wouldn't think of it as such. There was more topographical variety here than I expected, and the layout takes advantage of what changes there are to their full effect. Previous comments below take note of the lack of yardage indicators. I thought there'd have been more help there too, but hopefully that will be part of the course's planned (and in-progress) upgrade to host the Texas State University Bobcats and NCAA Division I golf. AS SUCH, NOTE THE FOLLOWING TEMPORARY CHANGES: It's playing to a par of 70 for now, not 72. Although the 10th hole is closed, it remains an 18-hole layout by taking the par-5 15th hole and turning it into two holes; a short par-4 with a temporary green, and a short par-3 with the existing green from 15. Also, the opening hole is shortened considerably, but is still a par-4. These should be seen as temporary and very minor inconveniences, if you could even call them that, to an otherwise top-notch public layout.

Would travel: 30-60 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
