STEWART PENINSULA GOLF COURSE

This Lewisville Lake peninsula track delivers surprising elevation changes for North Texas, with dramatic doglegs that tumble toward the water and force creative shot-making through dense stands of oak and mesquite. The back nine's risk-reward par-5s tempt long hitters to flirt with coves and inlets, while strategic bunkering punishes the sloppy more than the short. What sets this daily-fee gem apart from the region's flatter offerings is how architect Tom Kite used the natural peninsula topography to create genuine strategic dilemmas on nearly every hole.
