We played on Labor Day and got clipped for weekend/Holiday pricing.

I play this course often and really enjoy the layout. Some holes are extremely difficult but others are easy. Holes number 7 and 17 are really challenging. The course is an Arnold Palmer layout and has some interesting differences to the holes. Lots of water in play. Bunkers could be in better condition. Greens are fast, but well maintained. Rough is erratic, some are a little too dry.

Clubhouse has one of the best burgers in Texas.

Pro shop is too expensive. Driving range is too close to Holes #1 and #18.

It is best to join their Lone Star Club if you are going to play this course very often. With it the Green fee is always $10 less and drops to an avg. of $39 per round after 11:30 on weekends and during the week.

Would travel: 20-30 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing

This is my regualr golf course. I really enjoy the layout. It is challenging but offers opportunities to use every club in your bag. The greens are undulating but not too fast or too slow. Most greens are elevated to prevent that old Texas favorite play, the bump and run approach shot. There are soime wide open fairways and some very tight fairways. There is a fair amount of water in play. There are more than enough sand traps. The traps have been very hard packed this year due to an unusual amount of rain. Most of the course drains well but the traps can be a problem. The negatives of the course are that they have too many tournaments on the weekends which tends to slow down play, and make it difficult to get a favorable tee time. The course is expensive on the weekend ($65) if you don't have one of their frequent player cards. Withn the carde it is much more reasonable. The staff is friendly and the food is very good but simple.

Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
