TENISON PARK

The Highland Park muni delivers serious golf at muni prices, carved through mature East Dallas neighborhoods where towering oaks frame every fairway like nature's own gallery. Designer Joe Finger understood Texas terrain, routing holes that climb and fall through 30 feet of elevation change while demanding precision over pure power—the par-4 14th drops dramatically toward White Rock Creek, tempting aggressive lines that separate the confident from the foolish. This is old-school municipal golf at its finest, where shot-making trumps scorecard management and every round feels like a throwback to when public courses meant serious business.
