Waco Golf Courses
Designed by Peter Jacobsen and Jim Hardy, Bear Ridge Golf Club (formerly known as Twin Rivers Golf Club) weaves in and out of both forested Hill Country terrain and meadow-like open fields, offering a great variety of holes. Part of the variety lies in the potentially lengthy north-south holes that have the added flexibility of moving the tees based on the magnitude of the winds.
