RIVER CREEK PARK GOLF COURSE

The generous fairways and forgiving rough might fool you into thinking this North Texas municipal track is a pushover, until you face the devilish greens that slope toward the nearby Wichita River. Prairie winds whip across the relatively flat terrain, turning what appear to be straightforward approach shots into chess matches with club selection. At this price point, the conditioning consistently surprises, and the risk-reward opportunities on the back nine make it a regular rotation course for local sticks.
