THE RAWLS COURSE

The windswept Texas High Plains provide an unforgiving canvas where strategic bunkering and native grasses punish wayward shots more severely than trees ever could. Tom Doak's minimalist routing follows the natural contours of this former ranch land, creating dramatic elevation changes that are rare in West Texas and reward golfers who can work the ball both ways in the constant breeze. Despite the intimidating reputation, the wide fairways offer multiple routes to most pins, making this a thinking player's course that never feels unfair.
