SHADY OAKS COUNTRY CLUB

Ben Hogan's old stomping grounds demands precision from the first tee, where towering Texas live oaks frame fairways that punish wayward drives with collection areas that funnel balls into strategic waste bundles. The rolling terrain through Fort Worth's western suburbs creates elevated greens that test distance control, while the kikuyu rough grabs clubs like quicksand on mishit approaches. This is old-school Texas golf where course management trumps power, and every approach shot requires the same surgical precision that Hogan himself perfected on these very fairways.
