The best golf courses in Texas

“The Covey is a championship style course in the Hill Country of Texas. A vast variety of holes that make it a ton of fun. Dog leg rights, dog leg lefts, driveable par 4, true 3 shot par 5 and a ton of undulation from tee to green. The greens are pure and tough.”

“Played from the Tiger Tees at over 7,500 yards but never felt unfair. Pure, perfectly manicured fairways lead right into pine straw, no rough to be found. Incredible bunkering with crystal white sand.”

“…one of the most fun golf courses i have played all year. a variety of ideal/template holes are used on land that was used as sand minds 100 years ago. the mounds formed from the sand lands were used brilliantly to create holes like Dell, Alps, and Himalayas…”

“Tillie layout never gets old. Could play this every day gladly. Never played it pre-redesign but the current iteration is awesome. Worst hole on the course is 18 but rumor has it they have a plan to fix it. 8 is an awesome par 3. 15 and 16 are two other favorites.”

“One of the smoother walks in golf, Colonial is a special historic course. The Perry Maxwell design, with Hanse Reno is just a fantastic combo of architects. It’s a tough course that is just very hard to overpower.”

“Never been a huge Fazio fan. Practice areas are ludicrous and why oodles of Tour guys play here. Other than a scenic elevated tee shot on 10, I struggle to pick out many memorable or particularly well designed holes.”

“Special place and a true retreat from the hustle of Dallas. The course is kept in immaculate condition and is typically near empty. Staff and service are world class, especially if you’re a member.”

“About a 3 hour drive from Dallas & worth every minute on the road to get there. The club offers the highest quality food and beverage with the most absurd comfort stations you’ve ever seen.”

“You hit every club in the bag, have different and challenging lies, and a good amount of birdie chances. You could play Boot every day and not get bored. Great staff and a good variety of holes.”

“The OCM redesign is charming, playable, visually appealing, and delightful. I’m very surprised this course doesn’t get more attention on best of Texas lists given the club’s illustrious history and layout.”

“the conditions are about as good as they get. Ben calls the tee boxes the second best greens in Texas… after his own greens out there of course. the greens are the defense of the course and it is not too demanding tee to green. the par 3s stand out with good variety in distance…”

“Most polarizing course in Dallas. Nothing like it in the city (or state) and tends to draw love/hate reactions. I fall somewhere in between but generally like it. Despite that it inexplicably sits on some T100 lists when it’s maybe top 5 in DFW.”

“When it comes to experiences and facilities, Dido is great. There isn’t a blade of grass out of place and the comfort stations are awesome. The course itself leave a bit to be desired but it’s in amazing condition basically year round”

“They’ve done a wonderful job designing the east, it’s significantly tougher than the west thanks to smaller greens and difficult bunkers”

“The Cypress Course is a beast…long and challenging. If they let the Bermuda rough grow up a but it becomes extremely difficult but fair.”

“In one sentence, you could spend a great day at UTGC and not even play the course. The club house is filled with photos and memorabilia of Texas greats, excellent restaurant and bar, and friendly and welcoming staff.”
