After De Cordova Bend, Leon Howard came back in the early 1970s to build the 9-hole Granbury CC, a short course that features generous fairways and small greens. Howard’s design is short at right around 3,000 yards, and the second set of tees play about the same the next time around. Water hazards pop up, but they’re not prominent, and the real problems occur if you stray from the tree-lined fairways.
Two holes stand out: The skinny, 500-yard No. 8 and the tricky 360-yard No. 5, which doglegs left around a creek that cuts into the fairway.
Getting there : From Fort Worth, take Hwy. 371 west for 30 miles into Granbury. Just south of town, take FM 430 and turn right, then find the course 1 mile down the road.
