Hey guys, what are some of the best public courses that you all have played in texas? I am trying to see what all courses I need to check out. Thanks for the input. No course is off limits, if you played an awesome muni, put it down. Also, if you could put the location, that would be great too. Thanks.

There is a course outside of Glen Rose (SW of Fort Worth) called Squaw Valley Golf Course that is extremely nice for a public course. I was in Fort Worth on business, and one of my co-workers wouldn't let us go home until we went out there to play it. It's a very nice layout, is in very good condition, and is off the beaten path a bit so that it wasn't all that crowded. Being that you're in Austin, it's always fun to go to that muni course on Red River and 38th and try not to hit people waiting for the bus. Oh, my college memories.....

The Tribute in The Colony, Bridlewood in Flower Mound, Castle Hills in Lewisville, Tenison Highlands in Dallas, Texas Star in Euless, and Hawks Creek in Ft Worth are all nice public facilities... These courses keep me busy on the weekends

I will second Twin Lakes in Canton. That is a great course.

Since you are in Austin you should go check out Quicksand at Woodcreek in Wimberley. I was out there this afternoon and the course is in terrific shape. I will be out there again tomorrow. It is a pretty short course, but nice. Plus you get to take a drive through the hill country to get there.

Pine Forest in Bastrop is nice with some terrific views and some challenging holes.

I love all of the Austin muni's. Clay and Kizer are great and a terrific set-up.

Grey Rock (formerly Circle C) is a great course as well. Always in great shape and they have a terrific staff.

Looks like the Rawls course in Lubbock is considered the best public in that area.

Does anyone have an opinion on Houston's Bear Creek golf courses? I was going to move back to Houston in a few months and wanted to live near a golf course and driving range. Their website doesn't have much info on greens fees and range-ball fees.

Here are links to the course website and map/location info:

Bear Creek golfworld webpage

Map info link for Bear Creek golf world

2011 Goals:
* Improve club-head speed to 90 mph with the driver
* Ensure increased speed does not compromise accuracy
* Prevent overextending on the back-swing (left-arm is bending too much at the top)
* Relax arms initially at address ( too tense)* Play more full rounds (failed from 2010)

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
