THE GOLF CLUB AT CINCO RANCH

The Carlton Golfsmith design navigates rolling prairie terrain west of Houston with surprising elevation changes that belie the surrounding flatland reputation. Strategic bunkering forces precise iron play on the longer par-4s, while the par-3 17th demands a demanding carry over wetlands that can wreck a good round in an instant. This daily-fee gem proves that Texas golf doesn't need lakes or mountains to test every club in your bag.
