DOUBLE J RANCH GOLF CLUB

The Hill Country's limestone terrain shapes every strategic decision across these rolling fairways, where elevation changes of 200 feet create both exhilarating downhill drives and demanding uphill approaches. Water comes into play on half the holes, but it's the rock outcroppings and mature oak groves that define the character—particularly on the signature par-3 16th, where you're hitting over a creek to a green carved into the hillside. This Tom Kite design rewards course management over brute force, making it a thinking player's track that locals guard jealously.
