Brookhaven Country Club, 3333 Golfing Green Dr.,
Farmers Branch Private
This club has three outstanding courses. The Master's
Course is more rigorous than the other two. The
Presidents Course is great for beginners and seniors
because it is short. The fairways are tight and tree
lined. The Championship Course has narrow fairways.
Water hazards come into play on all three of these
scenic courses. Larry Nelson and Jeff Brauer redesigned
the Master's Course in 1991.
Brookhaven Hills ... $150,000-220,000
Brookhaven Estates ... $170,000-800,000
Oakbrook Estates ... $190,000-285,000
Brookhollow Country Club, 8301 Harry Hines,
Dallas Private
This old, traditional course is quite challenging. The
greens are small, and the narrow fairways are tree
lined. The signature hole is #6, a 404-yard, par 4,
requiring a downhill approach shot from off an elevated
fairway. "Golf Digest" rated this as the 8th "Best in
State" course for 1995-96, and 19th best for 1997-98.
Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw did some revisions during
1992 and 1993, taking the original ideas and drawings of
Tillinghast and remaining as faithful to those as
possible.

This course will provide a great test of your golfing
skills. The course was designed with all skill levels in
mind. The signature hole is #11, a 418-yard, par 4,

Dallas Public
This traditional course has tree-lined fairways, but
they do afford generous landing areas. The greens are
small and fast. This course was the site of the 1927 PGA
Championship Tournament. The terrain is hilly, so you
can expect many interesting lies in the fairways. Four
of the five par 3's measure over 200 yards from the blue
tees. The ladies' par is actually 75.
Chase Oaks,
7201
Chase Oaks Blvd., Plano Public
This club has an outstanding regulation eighteen hole
course and a challenging nine hole regulation course. In
1994, the "Dallas Morning News" rated the Blackjack
Course (the18 hole layout) first in the State of Texas
for playability. Both courses are challenging because
they have narrow fairways and fast greens. Water hazards
in the form of lakes and creeks flow through both
courses and come into play several times.
Chase Oaks: $175,000 to $500,000
The Honors Golf Club, 2525 Country Club Dr.,
Carrollton Private
This is a private course that is well maintained. The
fairways are tree lined and the greens are small and
fast. There is water that comes into play on fifteen

Finger redesigned six holes in 1971. A course redesign
was completed in 2000.
Cottonwood Valley Country Club, 4150 N MacArthur
Blvd., Irving Private
This club, which was named to "GOLF Magazine's" 1998
list of "Silver Medal Resorts," features two eighteen
hole regulation courses. This rolling TPC Course was
built on a former cattle ranch near Dallas. This course

#3, which measures 490 yards. The course is often made
tougher by strong Texas gales. The PGA Tour's GTE Byron
Nelson Classic is held here every year. In order to play
either course, you must be a hotel guest or a club
member. The Cottonwood Valley Course is for members only
and has houses lining its fairways. The Byron Nelson
Golf School shares the resort's driving range, which

this with superb practice and clubhouse facilities, and
you truly have one of the most exciting and challenging
public courses in north Texas.
Coyote Ridge: $300,000 to $450,000

here, and later redesigned both courses in 1985. The
Blue Course still plays in a similar fashion to its old
self with tree-lined fairways and fast greens. The
6,293-yard men's tee on the Blue Course also has a
ladies' course rating of 75.3 and a slope of 131.
Nicklaus added many new hazards for golfers to overcome
on the Gold Course. The 6,349-yard men's tee on the Gold
Course also has a ladies' course rating of 72.8 and a
slope of 124.

Public
This facility has two outstanding eighteen hole courses.
Both courses can be challenging because they each
incorporate a variety of hazards into their designs. The
Old Course is the traditional layout, and was rated #1
by the "Dallas Morning News." Water hazards come into
play throughout the design, such as on hole #18, a
400-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot and an approach
shot over the same creek, which winds through the hole.
The Lakes Course is a links-style course that lives up
to its name. There are also numerous water hazards in
the design, such as the pond that sits at the end of
hole #7, a 549-yard, par 5. Players must carry their
approach shot over the body of water to have any chance
at a birdie.

plays into a prevailing south wind.
