Waco

Elevation : 427
Population : 108,272

While it isn’t the most popular vacation destination in Texas, Waco offers more than you might know from just speeding through on your way to Austin or Dallas. The town known for its five “Cs”–cattle, cotton, corn, collegians, and culture–is in the middle of a rich agricultural region of the Brazos River Valley that is loaded with outstanding golf courses.
President George W. Bush would know–he parks his plane at the former Connally Air Force Base for excursions to his ranch in Crawford, and he’s been lured to the links of Waco more than once. His course of choice recently has been the Ridgewood Country Club. If he wanted to play with the common man, the newly opened Bear Ridge or the Cottonwood Creek municipal would stand out among Waco’s six regulation public courses.

Notes
Compare how you measure up to the machismos of Texas at the Texas Ranger Museum. For eats, George’s (254-753-1421) is the place for fathers and sons to experience male bonding by partaking in giant-sized globes of beer and gazing at Baylor’s beautiful co-eds. The Lone Star Tavern (254-799-0918) is one of the best steakhouses in Texas, and the Elite Cafe (254-754-4941) specializes in chicken-fried steak. Weekend golf orgy-goers can go upscale at the Waco Hilton (254-754-8484), or more toned down at the Old Main Lodge (254-753-0316) near campus.
