THE CLUBS OF STONEBRIDGE RANCH THE DYE GOLF CLUB

Pete Dye's trademark railroad ties and strategic water hazards turn this North Texas daily-fee into a legitimate test that punishes wayward shots with the same ruthlessness as his private club designs. The rolling prairie terrain allows for dramatic elevation changes on several holes, while Dye's signature island greens and forced carries over wetlands demand both precision and nerve. What elevates this track above typical municipal fare is Dye's refusal to dumb down his design philosophy—even public golfers deserve to face the same diabolical choices that make his courses legendary.
