Cleburne

Elevation : 764
Population : 25,033

From the DFW area, you’ll pass through Cleburne on your way to the heart of Texas. The seat of Johnson County, the city is named after Confederate General Pat Cleburne and is home to two adequate small-town courses. On the outskirts, the town shows its dirty, rural roots, with random businesses scattered along the highway. Downtown has some character, with its historic, pristine homes on Prairie and North Anglin streets. In addition to the agriculture, the city is home to the state’s largest railroad construction and repair industry.

Cleburne Golf Courses :

• Cleburne Municipal Golf Course

Notes
The Anglin Rose B&B (817-641-7433) is one of a few choices for a night’s stay, and the locals will point you towards the Lone Star Cafe (817-556-3098) for a place to eat. The chamber of commerce might point you to the Layland Museum, which is interesting because of its Indian artifacts and details on early Texana, as well as the Johnson County Courthouse, which sports an ornate, stained-glass dome. The road-trip types might be interested in the ghost town sites that dot the countryside around town, one of which is 5 miles northwest and was the original county seat.
