Golf Club at Champions Circle
15801 Championship PkwyThe Golf Club at Champions Circle has earned a reputation for its extreme difficulty, with one story stating that the designer himself, Greg Norman, rolled into town one day for a round and had trouble breaking par, even running out of balls in the process.
Creeks literally dominate the layout, which rolls through the hills on the north side of Fort Worth near Texas Motor Speedway. Elevation changes are subtle but effective, and the fairways are lined by 4-inch-thick rough and loads of oak trees, as well as the occasional outcropping.
The par-4 17th is one of the most interesting holes. With creeks lining both sides and crossing the fairway twice on this 317-yard hole, you’ll need to place the tee shot perfectly. The hole bends left and tempts the big hitter, especially from the forward tees

system was just about ready to buy the farm but I and the loyal few soldiered on.
During the summers I played twice a week, and usually went back to pay cart fee for a second round. That equals four rounds a week, and at 12 weeks that's 48 rounds of golf. Mark you I'm no big hitter, but I was treated well for my loyalty, and always greeted with a smile. Amazing what short term success can do to a place.
With the rains and floods several courses here have closed for the season, or at least a good portion of it. Champions Circle has received a windfall, as a large chunk of the competition is temporarily gone. The overbooking has been relentless, and 5-6 hour rounds. Are now the norm. I don't begrudge them that, as I was one of the loyalists praying for a turnaround.
Sadly, there are still no Marshals to move things along, but they have a very new and extremely snarky starter. The dude Is such a jackass that even if you say things such as "I'm sorry" or "iIt won't happen again." he continues chewing butts and refuses to back off. I realize starting players off on an overbooked course is stressful, but show some professionalism please. Today was my last day to ever deal with that mean old S.O.B. and I am back on the hunt for another course that appreciates loyal customers who love to play at the same track week after week.
I certainly hope the next slump doesn't take them out, as I wish no ill will upon anyone, but it seems to me that yet another course has their short term revenue glasses on. The rest of the he local courses should be back with a vengeance next year. The long term guys like me and my ilk, and all the friends I have brought there are gone. See you Champions....wish you well..but you ll have to do it without my friends and I as well as God knows how many others a starter with anger management issues can chase off.
