Lake Park Golf Course

Lake Park is located below the Lake Lewisville dam, and was originally known as Oak Ridge Park. The city of Lewisville owned the course since its 1957 inception, but sold the facility to a partnership that includes former PGA Tour player Lanny Wadkins and his design partner Richard Watson.

Make sure that you warm up before your round, because No. 1 goes 465 yards with water in play off the tee. The next notable hole is No. 8, which offers a nice risk-reward situation with two small ponds protecting the green 312 yards away. With the wind it is definitely drive-able. One the back, No. 10 gives you the option to carry the lake with a 230-yard-plus drive, or lay up and leave yourself with a long approach over the water.

Other notes: There is a par 29 executive 9-hole course at Lake Park as well.

Getting there : From Dallas, take I-35 north and take the Lake Park Rd. exit. Turn east, drive 1 mile to the course, and look for the entrance on the right side of the road.
