Chase Oaks Country Club
The golf : Chase Oaks is the centerpiece of a
900-acre residential and commercial development that dates back
to the late 1980s. The club offers 27 holes of golf played as two
totally different courses: the 18-hole Blackjack and the 9-hole
Sawtooth.
Blackjack has received the most acclaim, at one
point being ranked by the Dallas Morning News as the No. 1 public
course in the state. The Bruce Devlin/Robert Von Hagge design plays
6,773 yards from the tips to a par 72, and their design features
a good combination of blind shots, water carries, and doglegs.
In all, water comes into play on 12 holes, including the 187-yard
No. 4, which is almost completely surrounded by water. In fact,
all par 3s require fun shots over water. Holes 5 and 6 also stand
out on the front. No. 5 plays 403 yards and requires a perfect drive
to the right of the water. No. 6, the number one handicap hole,
plays 450 yards into the wind, featuring an approach into a multi-level
green.
On the back No. 15 is notable for its dogleg right nature and tough
because of the fairway bunker guarding the corner, as well as the
approach shot over the creek into the small green.
The 9-hole Sawtooth offers two sets of tees, but
only measures 6,016 yards.
