Best Golf Courses Within Two Hours of Waco

Lake Park Golf Course, located in Lewisville, Texas, is a hidden gem that offers a great mix of challenge and fun for golfers of all skill levels. The course is a 9-hole, par 3 layout that’s perfect for a casual round, especially for those just getting into the game or looking to improve their short game. I recently played here with a couple of buddies, and we had a blast. When you drive into Lake Park, you immediately get a sense that this place is a bit different from your typical golf course. It has a very relaxed, community vibe—more like a neighborhood spot than a high-end resort. There’s no grand clubhouse or fancy carts here, but that’s part of the charm. The course is nestled by the scenic Lewisville Lake, and you’re greeted with views of the water and trees as soon as you step out of your car. It feels less like a commercial course and more like a well-kept secret that locals appreciate for its laid-back, friendly atmosphere. The course itself is relatively simple, but there’s...

    Located north of the lake, in China Springs is Lake Waco golf course. Here there are two different courses, the 18 hole standard course, and the par 3 course. Today I played the par three course in a scramble with a few of my buddies.      The course is well known in Waco and has a very country vibe to it. The golfer drives in and is immediately hit with this feeling. It's not your standard fancy golf course with the clubhouse that looks like a white house, standard white carts, and fancy attire. This place has it's own Texas feel that adds a sense of excitement to the golfer. It feels similar to when one goes to a paintball range, or a gun range, or maybe a track outside of town. I got there and associated it with those special adventures that make life long memories.      The course it's self wasn't anything mind blowing, yet it was still loads of fun. The course is decently maintained with a few shortcoming. The flags wouldn't stay firm in ...

     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...

     Country View is a golf course in Lancaster which is south of Dallas. This course is extremely special as it is like no other in the DFW metroplex. Rolling hills, deep forest, and the greenest grass in the state are all ways this course can be described. Not to mention the price is about 35$ which is way below average for a weekend tee time.      The course starts off with a long dog leg right par four, immediately asserting itself as a challenging course for the right handed. The green and tee box on this hole are in great condition and this usually holds true for most of the holes. Following this the golfer comes to a tight par 4 with an island green and tee box.     When I say island green, I'm not talking about it being surrounded in water, we don't get much of that in Texas. The green is more of a circle built on a mound about 20 feet above the usual ground level, this is how many of the tee boxes are built as well. This requires the golf...
