PLANTATION GOLF CLUB

The rolling terrain here defies Texas stereotypes, with dramatic elevation changes carving through mature oak and pecan groves that frame every approach shot. What sets this track apart is how architect Jason Dye transformed a former cattle ranch into something that feels like Hill Country without the drive to Austin—particularly the risk-reward par-4 12th that plunges 60 feet from tee to green. The bentgrass greens run true year-round, and at this price point north of Dallas, you're getting country club conditioning without the membership fee.
