Creekview Golf Club
The golf : The great game of golf was blessed
upon Crandall in 1995 when Dick Phelps was hired to build the town’s
municipal track. With a population of barely 3,000 folks, Crandall
is the smallest Texas town with its own municipally owned golf course.
Phelps did Crandall right with his 7,238-yard design. Far from
the basic courses that typically dot Texas’ small towns, this
one has some bite, with plenty of trees, water, and sand, as well
as first-class bent-grass greens. In fact, this course is legitimate
enough to bring golfers in droves from the Dallas area, with over
80% of the course’s revenue coming from visiting golfers.
Crandall used to be known as a speed trap, now it’s known
for its golf.
Two holes stand out, one on each side. The signature is the 581-yard
par 5, which doglegs left with a creek on the right. The fairway
is spotted with bunkers, and the small green is a difficult target
because it is surrounded by trees and water. On the back, No. 15
goes 210 yards over water–it can be difficult to hold a shot
on the two-tiered green because it plays with the prevailing wind.
