Ranchland Hills Country Club

Ranchland is the private version of Hogan Park, void of the mesquite-dotted scrub that lines each hole. Here you'll find narrow fairways bordered by the standard cut of rough and large, mature trees. Built circa 1950, the flat, traditional layout plays to a par 70 and has water on nine holes.

Notable holes on the front include the 604-yard opening hole, and No. 6, a 444-yard par 4. The back 9 features only one par 5, which plays only 487 yards, and several par 4s that play well under 400 yards. However, those are well balanced with two mean par 3s that require long irons (or even a 3-wood) and the difficult finishing hole: a 400-yard-plus par 4.

Getting there : Exit Business 80 off of I-20 and drive north on Fairgrounds Rd. Turn left on Wadley and drive a short distance to the course
