Denton Country Club

DCC opened in 1922, when members transformed their cow pasture into a 9-hole golf course with sand greens. The club closed during the Depression, then again during World War II, but eventually reopened and began a long process of improvements. Eventually the greens were replaced with grass and the club added an additional nine holes. In the 1980s, Dick Nugent came in to further modernize the old course.

Of the notable holes, No. 7 stands out as the most challenging–a slight dogleg left with water all over the place. No. 13 has water as well, and players must carry the hazards twice on their way to the green. In addition to the creek that slices across the fairway, a bunker resides in the middle to create more havoc. Some say that No. 18 is the signature–it goes 300 yards from the tips, yet it’s all uphill into an elevated green.

Getting there : From I-35 north in Denton , turn left and drive 5 miles to Country Club Rd. The course entrance is on the left.
