Course Notes

Historically not a course you can overpower, but we’ve seen golfers get more aggressive off the tee the last few years
Tree-lined parklands course with narrow fairways and small greens
Only two par fives on the course and they are both difficult compared to tour average
Any type of golfer can contend here, but you generally have to be very good on and around the greens

What to Look For

Strokes gained approach
Proximity with wedges (100-150 yards)
Strokes gained around the green
Total driving
Strokes gained putting
Experience in Texas
