Okay, so, I’m not much of a golfer. But I LOVE nature, so hitting the par 9 was a great excuse for me to take a nice walk, and enjoy the sights of one of THE oldest golf course in Texas. The grounds were well maintained, and the place looked lush with greenery. It doesn’t break the bank, either- my game was less than 15 dollars- a fair price to enjoy such a nice environment. The course doesn’t close when the sun sets, so locals use the grounds as more of a regular park, and it’s about 1.1 miles all around- making it perfect for a walk with a dog, or some jogging. Be sure to look up, too- this course has some of the least light pollution in the city, so the stars can be seen, bright and beautiful. Give it a visit!
