Stevens Park Golf Course
The golf : Stevens is another Dallas tradition
that dates back to the 1920s–a tight course with unbelievably
small greens and wild doglegged holes that laugh at drivers. Creeks
and streams dot the landscape, and those tiny greens are fast.
No. 6 is listed as the most difficult hole, rolling 416 yards with
out-of-bounds on the right. The approach must carry a swale and
slide through a chute of trees to the table-top green. Hole 8 has
some character at only 272 yards, with the creek cutting across
the fairway and the old-ass trees overhanging and squeezing the
fairway.
The ender is impossible to shorten because there’s no way
to carry the giant trees and cut the dogleg. That leaves you with
a weak-minded long iron that must be played perfectly. Get the right
club on your approach because the green has two levels.
Other notes: Arthur Davis redesigned this course in 1983.
