PRAIRIE LAKES GOLF COURSE

The mounded terrain and strategic water hazards on this Grand Prairie layout demand precise course management rather than raw power. Architect Leon Howard carved a thinking player's track from the North Texas prairie, where elevated tees reveal multiple routes to generous greens protected by well-placed bunkers and seven lakes. The par-4 15th epitomizes the design philosophy—a dogleg right where conservative play keeps you dry while aggressive lines over water can shave crucial strokes.
