THE GOLF CLUB AT CHAMPIONS CIRCLE

The rolling prairie terrain fifteen minutes southwest of downtown delivers a surprisingly mature test that plays longer than its yardage suggests, with persistent Texas winds turning seemingly manageable approach shots into white-knuckle decisions. Architect Jeff Brauer carved clever risk-reward opportunities into the native landscape, particularly on the drivable par-4 6th where aggressive lines over wetlands can yield eagle chances or watery graves. The bentgrass greens putt true year-round, a rarity in North Texas that alone makes the reasonable green fees feel like highway robbery in reverse.
