The native state of legendary golfers such as Byron Nelson and Lee Trevino, Texas stands as one of the top golfing destinations in the United States, and each year countless golfers flock to the state’s hundreds of golf courses to enjoy the state’s climate and stunning landscapes. Here are a few of the Lone Star State’s top courses.
Pine Dunes: Located in the quiet community of Frankston, Pine Dunes stands out for its Jay and Carter Morrish-designed course that winds through a landscape of pine woods. At less than $60 a round, it makes for an inexpensive day on the links as well.
Black Jack’s Crossing: Consistently ranked one of the top courses in the state, Black Jack’s Crossing sits along the Rio Grande River near the border with Mexico. The course was designed by Texas golf legend Lanny Wadkins and takes its name from U.S. general John “Black Jack” Pershing, who famously pursued Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa throughout the region.
The Quarry: One of the most dramatic courses in Texas, The Quarry takes golfers in and out of a rock quarry along the back nine holes. The Quarry is routinely ranked as the top course in the San Antonio area, and earned a Top 10 ranking as one of the most original courses in the United States from World Traveler magazine.
