HOLLYTREE COUNTRY CLUB

The East Texas pines create natural corridors that demand precision over power on this mature parkland layout, where towering loblollies frame every shot and funnel errant drives into unforgiving rough. Water comes into play on nearly half the holes, including a signature island green that separates the pretenders from the players when Tyler's notorious wind kicks up. The bentgrass greens roll true year-round, rewarding aggressive approaches while punishing anything short of commitment in this pine-scented sanctuary.
