Shady Valley Golf Club

The golf : Shady Valley opened on Labor Day in 1960, and has matured into one of the best-kept secrets in DFW golf. Loaded with every kind of tree native to this terrain, and highlighted by pesky Rush Creek and other water hazards that come into play on 14 holes, this is a par 70 track that requires you to hit it straight.
Early in the round, the 526-yard No. 2 jumps out with a tee shot over water and out-of-bounds lining the fairway. Also on the front, Nos. 4 and 8 involve Rush Creek and are considered among the most difficult on the course.
Rest up at the turn and get ready for the challenging opening holes on the back nine. No. 10 goes 437 yards and doglegs to the right with water on each side. No. 11 plays the same distance and is squeezed by a narrow chute of trees. And there’s no forgiveness on No. 12, which requires the navigation of another dogleg right around water.

The details : 817-275-8771. 4001 W. Park Row Dr., Arlington, TX 76013
