Hawks Creek Golf Course

The old Carswell Golf Club is renovated and boasts a new name, sporting new bent-grass greens, 419 Bermuda fairways and tees, and a new irrigation system that will hopefully keep it in the kind of superb condition that will make this a new favorite in Fort Worth. The course has been toughened up with the addition of sand and grass bunkers, as well as extensive moguls that often leave you with funky lies.

The course layout features narrow-tree lined fairways on the front, but a more generous back nine that is more susceptible to the wind. The most difficult hole is the 534-yard No. 16, a double-doglegging par 5 with a stream that winds across the fairway.

Getting there : Take I-35 W south and exit 54A (TX 183). Turn right on NE 28th street and continue to White Settlement Rd. Turn left and look for the course.
