A Quick Play Located Two Hours Away From 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 plenty of variety in the holes. You’ve got some straightforward shots, but there are also a few that require you to navigate water hazards or deal with tricky green slopes. The layout is interesting without being overwhelming. While the course isn’t going to blow you away with its difficulty, it’s still enjoyable enough to keep you on your toes. A couple of the holes have water features that add a little extra challenge, and the overall setup makes it a great place to work on accuracy.




The condition of the course was solid overall, though there were a few areas that could use some attention. The greens, for instance, were a little inconsistent—some were in good shape, but others had some rough spots. A couple of the tee boxes were a little worn down, and you could tell the grass had seen better days. It wasn’t a deal-breaker, though, and the course still played well enough for the price. What really stands out about Lake Park is the setting. The course has a laid-back, almost park-like atmosphere. The trees and proximity to the lake create a peaceful environment, and the whole area just feels like an escape from the daily grind. You’re only a short drive from the hustle of Lewisville, but here, you’re surrounded by nature, and the sound of the water lapping against the shore adds a serene backdrop to your round.

One of the best parts of playing here is the affordability. A round will only set you back around $15 for a 9-hole round, and the course offers free pull carts, which is a nice touch. It’s a great place for beginners to get some practice without worrying about high green fees or long waits. The relaxed pace also means you won’t feel rushed, even if you're just out for a quick round with friends.

Overall, Lake Park Golf Course is a great value for anyone looking for a low-pressure round in a quiet, scenic setting. It’s not the most challenging or pristine course you’ll play, but it’s fun, easygoing, and perfect for a casual day out. I’d rate it a solid 7.5/10. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area, especially if you’re new to the game or just looking for a place to enjoy a quick, no-fuss round of golf.

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....
