THE GOLF CLUB AT MCKINNEY

The rolling terrain thirty miles north of Dallas delivers surprising elevation changes that transform what could have been another flat Texas track into something memorable. Pete Dye's protégé Bruce Lietzke crafted strategic bunkering around generous fairways that reward course management over pure distance, while the bentgrass greens hold their line even during blazing summer months. The back nine's water features come into play on five holes, creating genuine risk-reward scenarios that separate weekend warriors from players who understand how to manage their misses.
