Eldorado Country Club

The golf : Designed by Gary Baird in 1981, Eldorado is situated in one of the most beautiful parts of McKinney, featuring a creek and an irrigation lake in addition to a multitude of trees. The course is known for its extremely sloped greens, which are often covered by heavy bunkering.
On the front, No. 5 is the toughest hole, going 433 yards with out-of-bounds on the right and a pond in the fairway at 200 yards from the tee. The approach must carry the bunker fronting the green.
The back nine features two mean par 5s–Nos. 11 and 15. The 11th is a narrow dogleg with a small pond looming right of the green. No. 15 is under 500 yards but features the creek cutting the fairway and riding the right side of the hole.
Other notes: The clubhouse burned to the ground in November of 1996 and was replaced in 1998.
