Best Golf Courses Within Two Hours of Waco

      Located just short of two hours outside of Waco, is Fire Wheel golf course. This course is actually three courses, as it is more of a golf complex than a golf course. Each course is different in layout and terrain, but are all fairly similar in terms quality and difficulty. The most popular one and the one I will focus most on today is the Old Course.      This course runs through many neighborhoods of North Dallas and can get a little dangerous for the golfer that can't hit a straight ball. The ninth hole is a short par three with houses on either side. I have personally seen and allegedly been a part of a broken window on this hole. Leading up to this hole is a long underground tunnel, going beneath two properties which is something very rare at a golf course.          The picture shown above is on a par five on the back nine. It is clear that the greens are in good shape, as well as the surrounding fairways and roughs....

     North of Dallas and a decent drive from Waco is Lake Park. This course is located on lake Lewisville and is one of the easiest rated golf courses. It features a 18 hole course as well as a nine hole par three course. It's most notable feature is that this nine hole course can be played at night, as there are lights on the course.      This course is where I learned how to play growing up, the par three not the 18 hole course. It is easier than most places and features only about two lakes, making it very hard to lose a ball. On top of that the course has bout 5 trees on the property and not a bush in sight, so there is no out of bounds anywhere.          Most of the pictures online are not resembling of how the course looks at all. This picture is green and blue water is present in the back. Lake Park looks nothing like this. The grass is usually torn up and brown, the greens are usually sandy and not well kept, and the water s...

      Located in Ferris, Texas, about an hour and a half up the highway, lies a golf course filled with hills an and trees. Old Brick Yard is a awesome course that has been around for a very long time. It features a top 10 hardest hole in Texas that curves around a lake.        Along with this being an old and scenic course, the community is always great too. Every time I have gone, the guy at the clubhouse is always super nice and will even give you a suspicious discount based on how much you tip. The people I have played with at this course are always friendly as well.      The course design is the definition of what a fun course layout is. The course starts with an uphill par four that rewards the golfer for taking a risky shot. Following that hole, there is a short par three where the golfer takes a shot from the top of a hill on to a small green. The views from this hole are awesome, as this part of DFW is hilly and sparsely populat...

    Anyone who golf's in Waco, Texas, has surely played this city owned course. It is inside city limits and often host local and regional tournaments, and a golfer can always find a familiar face at this course. Cottonwood Creek is the course I decided to play this week.     Maybe the biggest pro about this course is that it is the closest to Baylor, as most of the Waco population. The driving range is almost always full of residents and students that all regularly get their practice in here. I always find this club house to be very exciting as well. At one table, theres a group of young kids dogging on each other about who played best, the other consist of 8 old men with over 1000$ on the table figuring out who won it.       The three guys that work the pro shop are always super kind and helpful, and they never try to scam the golfer on the price as well. This time they even let me and my buddy tee off early before this large group.    ...
