Meadowbrook Municipal Golf Course

The golf : Eight years before he built Colonial Country Club, John Bredemus came to Fort Worth to build Meadowbrook. The city bought the facility years later and brought Ralph Plummer in for renovations in 1962, when the creation of dams formed five new lakes and improved the irrigation system.

No. 5 should probably be a par 5 for most hackers–it plays 475 yards with water on the left of the dogleg, trees are on the right, and the approach must carry a creek. Don’t worry about a bogey on this one. Hole 16 is another long par 4 that features an approach over water to the green.

The two best birdie opportunities are Nos. 7 and 14, both short par 4s that should leave you with only a short iron into the green.

The details : 817-457-4616. 1815 Jenson Rd., Fort Worth, TX 76112
