Texas Rangers Golf Club

Texas Rangers Golf Club (formerly known as The Ditto) was Dick Nugent’s first course in Texas, when he teamed with Ken Killian in 1982 to build this very functional 7,010 yard municipal layout. Both challenging and fun, the course plays to a very hacker-friendly 6,106 from the middle tees, and allows the erratic high handicapper to build momentum with a front side that’s more wide open than the back. Nugent’s design is dominated by wet stuff, with only six ponds coming into play on just a few holes.
No. 3 is the first difficult hole because of the swirling winds, which make club selection difficult on this 185-yard par 3. The front side also boasts the signature hole (No. 8), a mean 567-yard par 5 that plays into the wind.

On the back side No. 13 is noticeable–a rare par 4 double dogleg that goes 427 yards and requires a long approach into a green surrounded by trees.

Getting there : From Hwy. 360, take the Brown Blvd. exit and go west. The entrance is on the right.
