Diamond Oaks Golf & Country Club
The golf : Diamond Oaks dates back to 1960 when
Charles Akey, who worked as the field engineer for Robert Trent
Jones and Ralph Plummer, was hired to mold the densely wooded terrain
around Fossil Creek. This long course is lined by oaks from tee
to green, featuring water on seven holes and small greens.
Akey’s design, which has been improved in recent years under
the guidance of PGA Tour veteran and Fort Worth native Mark Brooks,
features several menacing par 4s that are tough for any golfer.
Nos. 9, 10, and 11 each play right at 450 yards. Hole 10 doglegs
right over water, while No. 11 bends left with water on the right.
The back nine is longer and more difficult. Following the opening
two holes on the back are a 200-yard-plus par 3 and a 609-yard par
5 sandwiched between two more monstrous par 4s.
