Cowboys Golf Club - Dallas, Texas

Cowboys Golf Club in the Dallas suburb of Grapevine is indeed owned by the Dallas Cowboys. This means Super Bowl replica trophies in the lobby, cart girls in Cowboys jerseys, golf carts named after Cowboys greats and even a big blue star in the middle of one fairway.

All that gimmickry disguises one of the best golf courses in the Dallas area. Cowboys Golf Club is a fun track full of drivable par 4s, raised tees and more elevation than you usually get in these parts. The holes stand out from one another well - there are shots downhill to water greens and uphill to plateau greens, shots through tree openings and, unless you're very careful, shots out of some well-tended bunkers full of distinctive orange Texas sand.
