Texas' premiere Jack Nicklaus Signature Course now open for play
GEORGETOWN, Texas -- Cimarron Hills, Texas' premier private golf and country club community, is pleased to announce the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course is now open for play to members.
"The golf course at Cimarron Hills has turned out to be even better than we expected, and here, we had high expectations," said Nicklaus. "The natural characteristics of this beautiful property have been used to create a course that will challenge players of all skill levels, and several outstanding water features on 18 will make for a memorable finish."
Situated at the edge of the Texas Hill Country, along the picturesque San Gabriel River, the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course at Cimarron Hills is blanketed by tall oaks and features bentgrass greens. The 18-hole, par-72 course measures 6,429 yards from the Cimarron (Members) tees and the course stretches to 7,302 yards on the Bear tees. The Rose tees, measuring 5,059 yards, offer a fair and magnificent golf experience for female members and guests.
"The unique character of this course, the native trees, and the rolling hills will provide one of the finest golf experiences in Texas," Nicklaus concluded. The course blends in naturally with its surroundings, featuring deep bunkers and several lakes and waterfalls.
The San Gabriel River runs throughout the property and comes in to play on many of the holes to offer a beautiful, yet challenging golf experience. The water feature that begins between the 18th and 19th greens (that's right, there is a 71-yard 19th hole for players to use to break ties and enjoy as a practice hole) cascades down the left side of No. 18 and "pools" in front of the par-3, 17th green. Jack Nicklaus will "officially" open his Signature Course at Cimarron Hills on April 16th when he plays the course for the first time since it was completed.
The course was opened for play to members on January 1, 2003.
