“Where should we play this weekend?” “What is the best golf course in
Dallas?” “Are the expensive courses
worth the money?” “What does the course
look like?” These are questions I have
repeatedly asked myself, often without finding an answer.
So I have decided to play as many different courses in the
greater-Dallas area as possible. And this
blog will share the information I learn.
I am not the best golfer — my handicap is far from the single
digits. But I consider myself a typical
weekend duffer: I have made a birdie and
taken four shots to get out of a sand trap; I have played a round without
losing a ball and been forced to stop because the lake swallowed my last ball. One of my life goals is to shoot a round at
even par, but that will likely only happen in my dreams.

I am also a student of history. I have played the courses where Walter Hagan,
Julius Boros, and Vijay Singh won majors. And you may be surprised to learn that one of
those courses is right here in Dallas, and it is open to the public. What is more, it is one of the best golfing
deals around.
This blog will be heavy on photos, for I believe that
pictures can do more to tell about the course that any words I could
write.
I would love to receive input from other Dallas-area
golfers. What courses should I play
next? What are the hidden gems? Also, as I review a course, please leave your
own thoughts and comments.
I hope you enjoy my journey. I will be leaving divots throughout Dallas!
