North Dallas course two hours from Waco.

    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 surely has brain eating amoeba in it. 

    Besides the subpar playing conditions, this course is actually loads of fun. Most holes are dead straight and its somewhat like a day of for the golfer. Theres a few risky shots where the golfer is required to hit over water or have to draw the ball, but not many. 

    The community here is also awesome. People hang out in the club house and are always cracking jokes, the cart girls are always friendly and talkative, and the people who run the course are always helpful as well. 

    Overall, I would rate this course a seven out of ten. It loses points due to the not so well conditions, but gains them back with how fun and easy going it can be on this course. Love this place and would recommend it to everyone!

A Tight Course in D.F.W.

Image
     Located on the edge of the two hours from Waco, is Plantation Golf Course, in Frisco, Texas. This course is a great location to test your skills and have a great time. The fee is about 40$ which makes it a pretty cheap course, something that the courses I play usually have in common.      The carts are in good shape and some of them even have speakers and coolers on them. The workers are super kind and they even give the golfer a discount sometimes. The range is in great shape but for a golfer like me with an occasional snap hook, it can be dangerous as to the left on the range is a major road.     Getting into the actual course, the golfer is first met with a very tight par four. it's not very long but it is very narrow. The tee boxes are in great shape and most of them have a ball cleaner and some water. The fairways are generally also in great shape and the rough isn't too bad. This course features many bunkers, requiring the golfer to hit...

An Old Course In South Dallas.

Image
      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...

A Three In One in North Dallas

Image
      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....
