THE CLUBS OF STONEBRIDGE RANCH THE HILLS COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling limestone terrain north of Dallas delivers a surprisingly muscular test that defies the typically flat Texas stereotype, with elevation changes of up to 60 feet creating dramatic downhill tee shots and blind approaches that demand local knowledge. Dick Phelps carved generous fairways through mature oak and mesquite, but the real teeth come from multi-tiered greens that punish anything but precision wedge play. This daily-fee gem proves North Texas has topography worth celebrating, especially when the autumn winds howl through the Hill Country-inspired layout.
