Great Southwest Golf Club
The golf : Ralph Plummer designed this course
in 1965, incorporating three connected lakes into the layout. Dick
Nugent came along in 1983 to lead a renovation effort that helped
the course survive. The course has been known in recent years for
its outstanding greens.
The best hole is the 223-yard No. 3, which plays downwind over
water and is extremely difficult to stop on the small green. Interestingly,
both nines end with very similar par 5s. Both are over 500 yards–No.
9 has water on the left side and in front of the green, while No.
18 features water on the right and in front of the green.
The details : 972-647-0116. 612 E. Avenue J, Grand
